willow and kit captured by trolls.

The Bone Reavers talked about the horrors of the underground mountain home of the troll called Skellin, and I really, really wanted to watch it. The rest of the team went into Skellin to find Kit and Willow after they were captured by the troll in the sixth episode of the show. Skellin is more important to the story than we thought.

Before we entered Skellin, we were reminded of what this is all about. Are you still remembering him? Everyone is on this journey because of Kit's brother and Elora's love. The scope of the Immemorial City was revealed when he came outside. He appears to be alone, except for a voice that asks him to embrace his power. Since he's alone, Arik might try to leave. He begins to walk. In another 50 minutes or so, we'll catch up with him.

After being captured by the troll, Willow and Kit are being put into the dangling cages of Skellin, which has some real mines of Mordor vibes. When they realize they aren't the only prisoners there, Kit thinks they'll get out soon. A man who says his name is Madmartigan is also present.

It's not Madmartigan played by Val Kilmer. It is, clearly, a character played by Christian Slater and he couldn't have lied to two worse people in the world than Mad's oldest friend, willow, and daughter, kit. The troll arrived before they could call him on his bad behavior. They are surprisingly funny. It almost didn't make sense that the troll had a lot of funny quirks. The troll wanted to find Elora Danan for the Crone.

Boorman, Jade, Graydon, Scorpia, and Elora are heading to Skellin. Graydon decided it was time to tell Elora how he feels about her. She told him that her stress seemed to change the mountain. The whole of Skellin shakes when Elora sneezes or scares her. Elora is one of Kit and Willow's friends that the troll realized were coming for them.

Allagash is an old friend of Madmartigan who, along with Boorman, set off with him on the quest to find the legendary Cuirass armor. Allagash claims that Boorman betrayed him and Madmartigan, and that he knows where Madmartigan is. He is here in Skellin. There is more to this place than we think. Allagash is broken out after that bombshell revelation.

Some of her people who have been captured in the mine are left by the group of rescuers to try to save others. Is that the case? Boorman says he knows where he is, but it's unclear if he's telling the truth and Elora almost fell into the lava, losing her wand. She hears Kit yelling at her from far away.

Kit isn't shouting at Elora. She isn't aware she's there. She is fascinated by Allagash and his stories. Despite a brief falling out, Madmartigan asked him to come along with him on one final adventure. After three years of searching, Allagash believes that Madmartian is in the final resting place of a legendary adventurer.

When they got to the tomb, Boorman betrayed them and stole the Arcana, but Madmartigan never came back. Allagash claimed to be Madmartigan so his friend wouldn't be pursued by the troll. He was stuck in captivity because Madmartigan didn't come out.

Boorman is lying as Kit learns about her father's quest. He isn't looking for them. He is now in possession of the Lux Arcana and is looking for the tomb to try and get the Kymer Curaisnss. What happened the last time he was there was the biggest regret of his life and he hopes to change that.

Everyone gets back together when both parties head for the tomb. Boorman and Allagash are enemies. Elora has lost a wand, and willow is angry. Everyone goes into the tomb before everything gets sorted out. To enter, they have to solve two riddles and Allagash and Boorman have to tear it apart to find the curass. Kit was drawn in as they fought over it. She heard her father ask her for help, but she didn't notice he didn't take his sword with him. More questions are revealed when answers to questions are given.

Allagash helps our heroes battle the troll when he comes back after Boorman escapes. The Curass didn't work for him after he was stabbed. Everyone can escape if he draws the troll away. Madmartigan left because he thought his kids could protect what was important back home. Kit asked what he was talking about. Allagash replied. Kit wanted to hear the final two words. It's more proof that her father chose Elora over her.

Unhappy Kit.

Kit can't take it. She rages at Elora and the mountain starts to shake. Kit is trapped underwater because the mountain cracks under her feet. When Elora finds Cherlindrea's wand again, it seems to be useless. It is certain that Kit will die.

The episode ended with a return to Prince Arik. He walks back to the Immemorial City after leaving the city. The man is trapped. He heard a voice just as he was giving up hope. The Crone has captured another person. There is a woman. We can guess how Arik feels about this young woman because the Beach Boys song plays on the soundtrack. She could be trusted. She has a story. Soon, we'll find out.

There was an important episode of "Prisoners of Skellin" We now know where Madmartigan is, that's mostly why. The man is in Skellin. He went to Skellin to try to save the world again. The fact that he did it at the expense of his family is something we hope is over by the end of the season.

There are two remaining episodes of the show. You can watch the first six on Disney+).
