The Rising Action!
After the Ranger Gathering, Will, Halt, and Gilan head out to hunt for the Kalkara because Halt assumes that the Kalkara are going to kill King Duncan. So, the three head out to kill the Kalkara. They journey through the Uthal Plains and many other landmarks, but as they keep on heading towards the Ruins of Gorlan to ambush the Kalkera, Will starts to suspect that something is wrong. This is because they keep on hearing the Kalkara's screams, but they never encounter the Kalkera. Soon, Halt and Gilan decide to send Will to bring strong knights to battle the Kalkara. Will goes back to Redmont, and when he returns, he explains the situation to Baron Arald and Sir Rodney. However, Will also says that he feels that the Kalkara are after his master, Halt. A few hours after Will's return, Sir Rodney, Baron Arald, and Will head towards the Ruins of Gorlan. Meanwhile, Halt also tells Gilan to go and recieve more soldiers for help.
The Climax/The battle
When Will, Sir Rodney, and Baron Arald arrive, they are startled to find that the Ruins of Gorlan are on fire (Halt's work), and the two Kalkara are fighting against Halt, just as Will had deducted. Halt, who was wounded by the Kalkara, manages to kill one of the monsters, but can't finish off the other. Baron Arald and Sir Rodney rush in to help Halt, Varon Arald is badly injured, and Sir Rodney is paralyzed. When the last Kalkara gets ready to kill Rodney, Will shoots an arrow encased in fire, the Kalkara's one weakness, and kills the Kalkara. After healing Baron Arald and Halt, the four of them return to Redmont, and Gilan returns to his own fief.
