@Elizabeth: If you can free at least one...

The crimson dust washes away and you can only hope that dog- before Cutter got his hands on him- finds a good home in the Beastlands.

The one you cannot afford to lose is Celaena. She is a brave elf and who knows how much she's suffered without your divine succor. Besides, if you are to get rid of all these monsters, your spells alone won't do. Celaena is quite the talented sorceress and her skills can definitely help put down all of these abominations.

The trail is getting warmer...and that's not a good thing. A lot more blood leading down a short flight of stairs as you face a rusted door covered in what appears to be some growth, not unlike a wasp's nest, but bigger as you push the door and this one creaks loudly as it allows you a view of the inside.

This looks like one giant pen to keep animals inside. The cages are broken or covered in more of that growth. Some of it the size of Raikou as weird forms can be seen inside some of these disgusting pods, glued to the ceiling, walls and floor.

You've stumbled into a nest... but a nest of what, exactly?

And it is then that you spot Celaena, manacled to the far side of the cell and nearly prone, just as you found her several floors above. The elf has seen better days- she is spilling blood all over and seems to have suffered grievous harm. Someone beat this woman brutally and has left her within an inch of her life, chained here with these...these things.

The elf can barely remain conscious as she keens her eyes and looks at you from the other end of the cell.

"Elizabeth...? is that you? Sister... run...! RUN!!!!""
