Episode 33

== Episode 33. What is it with you people and beating up horses? ==
* The party regroups after the previous episodes battle with wilders 
* We talk to Arthur, the little boy who we had gone into the woods looking for. He says he came out into the woods looking for his friend Lily. He believes she's hurt, and we agree to help find her for him. Also Lily is a unicorn. 
* We track the hoofprints/blood trail of Lily through the snow. Eventually we come across the burnt remains of a village. It seems like the place had been quarantined and then burned. In the ashes, we find a note from Noir telling a lackey to quietly "clear' the area. 
* We continue on - until we are attacked! By....strange animals, large cats with strange behavior and strange viney growths infecting open wounds. Just past them we see the dark figure of Lily, a unicorn, but corrupted. 
* Lily casts a powerful Insect Plague spell at the whole party and Olivia goes unconscious in a big way. The big infected cats are really strong but the party whittles away at them. Shiver summons her spirit goat to heal the party and it was a huge help.
* The fight continues on for some time, with some party members attacking the unicorn and others not wanting to attack her because she's the person we came looking to save.
* Eventually the party puts two and two together that the vines are the source of the corruption. They try to damage the vines, but when it doesn't seem to work, the party works as a whole works together, grabbing onto each other to pull each other back as Olly and Bran yank the vines from Lily's open chest wound. She is grievously injured but begins to become less corrupted, her fur changing from black to white once again. 
* We speak to Lily, who doesn't know too much about what's going on but is glad to be saved and reunited with her friend Arthur. Her last memory before her corruption was being at the Withering Grove.
* After a little bit of time, Minerva tracks down the party from the air and tells them that the dragons have also figured out that the source of corruption is coming from the Withering Grove, and that we should go with her there after we take a long rest.
