Loose threads: what is exactly happening inside the queen? what were the meaning of her words and what do we do from here?
Participants: Lenny, Bonabo, Serus, Buddy.
Locations Ancient Hidden temple
Short summary: We went to the hidden temple, this time with a mule and two chests, ready to capture the magic of the queen with the help of Rava on them. After being able to enter the place, we met with Rosetia, who tell us that we cannot enter yet. There is a trapped between the rivers of miasma who needs to be helped. We acept the detour quest and start searching for whatever that creatures is.
After exploring the caves and fighting some undead creatures, we managed to find an unicorn in a deplorable state, exhausted and confused for the negative energies of the place, the creature of light and life is slowly fading. Trying to approach ended in the Unicorn unleashing a wave of positive energy and running away. None of us was very good in tracking, but thanks to the detection of magic, we managed to find the Unicorn resting in a cave with shallows waters and a hole in the ceiling were light was able to enter.
Lenny managed to calm the beast and let him get close enough, meanwhile the rest of the party navigated trough the maze of caves searching for the mule first and the hole in the cave ceiling second. It took a couple of hours, time the Unicorn became weaker and weaker, but finally managed to find the spot. Then an improvised system of pulleys was armed with ropes to lift the Unicorn from the bottom of the cave. With the help of the mule (and a lot of luck) we managed to lift it! barely breathing but still alive.
Rosetia came to aid the creature and then we traveled with her to the Aburayan Springs, where we were received with... caution looks to say at least. None the less, the Unicorn was able to rest here and then we learn that Rosetia used to live here when alive, we don't know how she ended in the undead lands.
Back again the next day in the Ancient Temple, we descended into the undead citadel. Miasma flowed from what it looked to be roots on the ceilings, just to discover that it actually was the legs of a giant insect: the queen itself. Rava gave us a "warm" welcoming and asked us the chest to seal the magic. Meanwhile the whole party touched the legs of the queen, immediately being transported into a psychedelic experience where they were able to see what it look each other souls and also managed to communicate briefly with the queen. Serus is the one to open his mind and accept al the pain and suffering from the queen into his body, what's suppose a great effort for his body, becoming weak during the process.
