The Queen's Garden

Military: Skirmish

The Sexiles tracked Rega's Gnolls to Nangalore, where they were hunting for Artifacts on behalf of the Yuan-Ti. Exploring the garden, they battle the dangerous flora, along with deadly beast and zombies, but the main danger is a monster that turns others to stone, the Queen Zalkoré. Through carvings they learn her story and that of Thiru-Taya, her love.   Pheno finds his son, Phenoah, who has been turned to stone, but they retrive the Boots of Ubtao from his body, and slay the rebel Gnolls found here.   Hina  finds some Chwinga who bestow blessings on some of the group.   Late in the evening, the Queen seeks them out, beckoning them to enter her chambers. nervously they follow, and manage to persuade her they are her lpyal subjects, unlike the people of Omu who took her throne, they promise to hunt these usurpers for her, and she allows them to leave, but not before Nugget steals the berry of her prized Black Lotus.
