Is this darkness of the dawn?

@pedgeon and I are reunited in DnD but at what cost lol

We chose to, at least temporarily, work for the queen.  The chamberlain offered us the use of a teleportation circle we weren’t completely sure of.  After one of the wasps proved it was safe, however, we decided to take it, feeling it would be quicker.  Something went wrong, however.  Instead of being deposited near the nests we had been asked to protect, we were dumped out in an abandoned cavern.  Apparently, long before Newgar fell circles had been placed down to prevent non-residents from traversing the kingdom via teleportation circle.  Would have loved it if people had remembered this.  We were able to get a general idea of which way we needed to go between Ikki knowing North and Elodie knowing the direction we were being sent.  So we started exploring.

After finding a flooded cavern, then finding an area where we all had to squeeze threw a very thin tunnel, we ended up in a cavern where we encountered three other guilds members.  The first was a Drider.  A giant spider body with the torso and head of a Drow.  I hate spiders, but she seems interesting?  The next was Balasar.  We’ve met them before, actually.  I could have sworn it was simply a dream, our entire adventure where we explored the stars and encountered them.  But, apparently all of us but Ikki did go on that adventure.  I remember fighting beasts I’ve never seen before, and seeing beings I’d never even heard of.  That was, definitely something crazy.  But it made us friends with this elderly green dragonborn, so it worked out well in the end.  Their third party member was a High Elf, Lenna.  She’s a cleric just like Taras, but she’s more interested in healing than combat.  We discussed what we should do back and forth for a while, be hearing some sort of commotion.  Running in that direction, we found the nests we’d been sent to defend, and the others had been sent to help destroy.

We chose to just join in on the fight, taking out whoever we could.  There were initally a number of giant wasps, werewasps, and wasp swarms, as well as giant rats, wererats, and rat swarms.  Eventually some reinforcements came in on both side.  A few more of both enemies of both the giant and were varieties appeared.  A chancellor for the wasps, and someone I didn’t know for the rats also came in and joined the fight.

After we ended the fight, deciding to help the rats and focusing on the wasps, their queen appeared.  She was bound at wrists and ankles, and escorted by someone I didn’t know.  He also had three of those magical rats with him.  He told us that “fighting and killing is pointless, as the Lady of Death will rein supreme across all the planes.”  After giving that strange statement, he stabbed a dagger into the queen’s back.  Pulling a charm much like the one the Viscount used to get out of Ikki’s silence out, he and the rats disappeared.  As he did so, the queen began to mutate into something much like the Viscount.
