**Emerald Forest Adventure Con - Part Two** is the twentieth episode of Queens of Adventure: Legends, and the second half of the first anniversary live show from 2018. In it, Bootie and the Hofish complete their quest to restore the missing pages to the talking mapcase.

## Summary

In part one, the queens were hired to perform at the Emerald Forest Adventure Con and then met a sentient map case, Casey who needed their help finding three pages lost from within him that leads to a treasure. After surviving a dungeon attraction and finding a page, Casey recalls a cult is after him.

The queens decide which attraction to look for pages at next.

####  Many Cherries Main Stage

Returning to the stage, they find the bugbear hosting a lip synch contest. The prizes are an AdventureCon t-shirt, hat, and a sheet of paper. The bugbear is relieved they want to enter as no one else had yet. The contest is a surprise lip synch. Each queen must perform a song without preparation. Fraya Love actually knows her song, so she wins, and takes the scroll. Sliding it into the case, and Casey moans before remembering that what's on the pages is sacrilegious to the cult, which is why they want to destroy it. Harlotte O'Scara finds a compartment with four amethysts.

As they leave the area, they see some cultists. The queens power walk and get away.

#### Vollo's Live Monster Stage

The next venue is a stage with stadium seating. A man in a labcoat stands on the stage as the queens find seats. Fraya heads closer to the front of the stage. Harlotte says she wants a chimera. The man says he has created a monster using all of the knowledge of monsters he has gathered from his travels. From beneath the curtain they can see a piece of paper. A limb emerges from a cage behind the curtain, snatches the page, and they hear an audible crunch.

The monster maker offers to let them try to get their page back, if they battle the monster. Four lab assistants talk about features of the monster and the queens sketch it: Lizard body with scorpion tail, mirror on the back, dildo horns, and a clown face. As it attacks, Butylene O'Kipple drinks a vial of mutagen formula, becoming Mutalene, and takes a defensive stance. The chimera uses the looking glass on its back to show a horrifying decaying image of Mutalene, to cast psychic damage, which she resists. It then cackles from its clown face with *hideous laughter,* which she doesn't resist.

   Turning to the rest of the party, it raises its scorpion tail against Harlotte, narrowly missing. Arson Nicki summons her weapon, and spins it by the power cord to whack the monster between its horns. Harlotte casts sleep, and the monster collapses. It snores out a rune covered page. The audience applauds as Fraya, who hadn't done anything, poses.

Slipping the new page into Casey, it thinks the runes are a coded message. There is a wizard at Tasha's Hideous Bargains who can decode it, the case remembers.

#### Tasha's Hideous Bargains

As they reach the stall, the wizard at it turns... revealing a cult member. They demand the queens hand over the spell pages, for the enchantment it carries is unholy and has been a bane on the land for too long. More cultists close in behind them. Casey realizes what the pages are, a spell: David's Irresistible Dance. The case believes only these queens can utilize the magic. The power sweeps over the queens and over the entire convention. The queens lead everyone in a song and dance.

As the song ends, people are no longer compelled to dance, but they choose to continue. The cultists throw off their robes to reveal sparkly leotards, as they now realize they love dancing.

The dancing continues across the con late into the evening.

Epilogue: Late at night, Fraya sneaks over to Vollo's Monster Stage and gets in a light kick against the monster finally.
