Queen

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights are tasked with protecting Lunasa's mortal home from The Returned.

## Major Plot Points

* While sailing back to Setessa, the Acolytes met with the leadership of their crew to discuss how to reconstitute Clows Kufas. Kyma Tides, the triton second captain of the ship and a worshipper of Poseidra, advised they commune with the weather goddess to undo her curse. Gulliver Whitewing, master of the gull's nest, advocated they commune with Procan. He heard the ocean siblings were petty and often did things to spite the other. Quartermaster Ribé Stickytongue said they should commune with Lunasa, the goddess of mysticism and the moon. He believed her shape changing blessings would restore Clows. The tortle puddle bubbled in agreement with Ribé.
* The group had awhile before the midnight ceremony. Dikarus Bottombane flirted with sailors and got drunk at the ship's bar. Aryan Grande spent the afternoon writing music. Sybil Ringwell protected the bucket containing Clows and had deep conversation with him. Rory Sharptooth spent the day in the Gull's Nest with Gulliver. Holy Lady Labya and SBG3 were excited to be reunited and shared a "Titanic" moment at the front of the ship.
* SBG3's blasphemy against the sea gods enraged them to the point they sent a large wave that swept Sybil, Clows, and Labya off the deck. Rory and SBG3 were able to bring them back onto the ship.
* At the midnight ceremony, Lunasa answered Clows' prayers and returned him to his tortle form. His shell now resembled the moon. To repay her for this blessing, the Acolytes went to drive The Returned out of the home she lived in as a mortal.
* Pansexual Dora visited the party again as an astral projection. She apologized for not seeing them in person while they were at the Vault of Kruphix. She locked herself in the vault's safe room and forgot the password to get out. She asked the party about the missing magic items and they blamed Alpha Centauri.
* Rory gained the party entry by answering "people" when the door posed this riddle: What creature stands over 4 feet, has forearms, and foreheads?
* In the entryway, the group swiped some wolf cloaks worn by Lunasa's priests. SBG3 found a bag of holding in one of the pockets. The bag already contained a chess set.
* The Acolytes entered a living room that honored members of Lunasa's coven - Moira Rosé, Natasha Nightshade, and Photia Heliodson. Rory found a lantern behind Photia's portrait. Once he touched it, he was cursed to carry it and burn a person alive every 24 hours. Sybil found notes written by The Returned about ways to turn mortal humanoids into Returned beings.
* SBG3 helped the group avoid a fire elemental trap before they entered the tide pool room. They successfully solved the moon phase puzzle to gain access to the rest of first floor. Though triggering the pool trap was canceled out by Rory sticking the lantern in it and turning the water into steam.
* Returned soldiers were ransacking Lunasa's laboratory. Rory's halberd cut two of them down and Aryan killed the other with her Axe of Death Metal. SBG3 made a potion in here and drank it. The potion gave him mandibles.
* The group found a Magen, a humanoid created by magic, in the kitchen named Igor. The Returned locked him in there after they stormed the place. Igor told them about how Photia betrayed Lunasa by experimenting on her to reignite the Heliodson pyromania after the Spellplague erased magic for a decade. After they got their fire magic back, Photia burned Lunasa at the stake. Lunasa's followers killed Photia and trapped her spirit in the lantern. Rory burned the kitchen and killed Igor.
* SBG3 opened a magic door by making a hyena carving laugh. Behind the door was a moon stone that mortals use to commune with Lunasa. The moon goddess told the party she created Queen Nekros and she was the former Queen of Theros when she was alive.
* Queen Penelope, the last queen of Theros and mother of King Demetrius, rallied an army of souls in the Underworld and followed the Path of Phaenax back to the material realm. When they crossed the border, they were all turned into The Returned by Erebos' curse. Still angry at Photia's betrayal, Lunasa turned her granddaughter into a shadow monster. "She was looking to reunite with her family and her people. I gave her a way to create a new family and people." Lunasa claimed she didn't mean to make Queen Nekros so powerful and didn't realize what she'd ultimately do or become.
* The mysticism goddess severed Rory's connection to Photia's lantern.
* In Lunasa's library, the party completed an orrery to gain access to the next level. The stairs led up to a museum. Aryan went over to a display case but got too close and activated a cold warding glyph.
* A Returned soldier was performing comedy for a group of zombies in a makeshift comedy club. He mocked SBG3 viciously. After the group cleared them out, they found Oracle Eclipso Lune being forced to serve drinks at the comedy club's bar. She was saddened to hear about Igor's fate (though a highly censored version) and left after giving her thanks and removing SBG3's mandibles.
* In Natasha Nightshade's bedroom, Aryan crafted a potion of spoke languages. Whoever drinks it will gain up to three language proficiencies. She also crafted a potion that erase's a humanoids memories of the last 48 hours.
* In a hallway on the final level, the Acolytes found a bisected Returned. Sybil cast speak with dead and the corpse revealed a scythe trap killed him. Sybil also got the location of Deuteros, the city of The Returned, out of him.
* Daxos Shadowhorn was in the final chamber. He was able to turn the temple's werewolf guards into Returned werewolves. The Returned satyr cast blight on Rory and nearly killed him. A werewolf infected Rory with lycanthropy. Aryan's destructive wave killed a werewolf. SBG3's vitriolic sphere destroyed three of the werewolves. Dikarus shot an arrow through Daxos' skull with his Huntress Bow.
* Lunasa thanked the party for protecting her home. She turned Sybil into a werewolf and told her to spread lycanthropy.
* Erebos appeared and used the ingredients gathered by the party to give them a vial of the godkiller potion. He suggested they try to summon Phaenax at a large celebration where they can try to kill him. Once that's done, he'd give them a second vial for their own use.
