 After a lengthy trip on the backs of pegasi and several encounters with the forces of darkness , the companions enter Xak Tsaroth and meet some gully dwarves , diminutive and stupid creatures . One of the dwarves , Bupu , leads them to the dragon Khisanth , who is killed by the holy power of the Blue Crystal Staff . When this happens , Goldmoon is consumed by its flame and presumed dead . However , they later find her resting at the foot of a statue of Mishakal ( the Goddess of Healing ) , which now bears the Blue Crystal Staff , and Goldmoon is blessed with true clerical powers . The Companions leave with the Disks of Mishakal . Bupu gives an ancient spellbook ( formerly belonging to the archmage Fistandantilus ) to Raistlin . When they return to the village to regroup they find it occupied . The Companions are captured by the Highlord armies and are chained in a slave caravan along with an elf named Gilthanas , the son of the leader of the elven nation of Qualinesti .
