[[spoiler:She actually does get captured by the Sorceress at the end, but comes to realize that everyone needs help every once in a while, and having earned the love and respect of people who'll risk their life for yours is quite the accomplishment in and of itself. Also, she uses it as an opportunity to distract the Sorceress, giving her crew the opening they need to get Hoid into the tower.]]

He is very much not himself during the events of the story, but back to normal by the time he narrates the tale.]]

** Hoid's conditions are fairly simple [[spoiler:he has to return to the Sorceress' tower to be freed. He can't directly tell people where her island is, but Tress works it out by asking him about every other island and noticing which one he shuts up about.]]
** [[spoiler:Charlie's curse turned him into a rat, and could only be broken by bringing someone he loved to the Sorceress to also be cursed. He and Tress make it to the island, but she doesn't get cursed leaving Charlie's curse intact. Hoid can't break it either but ''is'' able to bend the conditions. The spell now breaks when Charlie brings someone he loves to her home (returning Tress to the Rock) and she is "versed" (i.e. Charlie writes a poem for her).]]

* {{Geas}}: Hoid's narration uses this term to describe the Sorceress' enchantments. She gives specific conditions that the subject must meet in order for their curse to be broken, but they're magically prevented from talking about their curses so they can't ''tell'' people what needs to be done to free them.

* AlienSea: The "seas" are massive reservoirs of colored pollen that rain down from the geostationary moons. Moisture causes the pollen to rapidly and violently grow, with the only thing that holds it back being salt and silver.

* UnreliableNarrator: Downplayed. While Hoid does relay the events more or less truthfully his sarcasm can slip in, such as the characters ALSO referring to the [[RedShirts unimportant crewmembers]] as Dougs and claiming that everyone was impressed by nobles who got the most people killed.
