Salvation

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights end Queen Nekros' reign of terror.

## Major Plot Points

* The Acolytes prepared for their final confrontation against Queen Nekros in the Tower of Terror. Aryan Grande sang battle music. Dikarus Bottombane practiced his new teleportation abilities. SBG3 created his protective cannon. Muchomucho M Amor receieved a healing potion from a crow and gave him a bandana and several others to give to his friends. Barbara Duke captured the image of Megalos in her deck of illusions. Sybil Ringwell donned her mage armor and became a werewolf.
* The foyer of the evil queen's palace had a magical fountain on it. SBG3's identify spell revealed the water was enchanted to have a random effect for whoever drank it. Aryan drank from it and was bestowed a Wish. Sybil drank from it and grew an extra toe on each foot. SBG3 drank from it and his blood thinned. His cannon's healing magic removed the blood curse. Muchomucho drank from it and laid an egg. Barb and Dikarus refused to drink from it.
* Barb accidentally triggered a poisoned dart trap in the southern hallway.
* The group found a treasure chest on an altar in the next chamber. Muchomucho could tell from a distance it was a mimic so they left it alone.
* Moving east, the party found a ballroom. The doors locked behind them and the organ roared a terrible melody that caused thunder damage. SBG3 sprung into action and tinkered with the organ to make it stop playing. Muchomucho communed with Kruphix about how to escape the room and he told him, "play the keys of silence." Barb figured out they needed to play the keys DEAF.
* The party then found Queen Nekros' personal laboratory. King Demetrius Heliodson was trapped in an magic circle. Muchomucho's dispell magic was strong enough to destroy the circle and free the king. He thanked them, shared Queen Nekros was in a secret room behind the western wall, and then left.
* The party decided to keep exploring the palace before confronting the undead queen. The group found a Returned wizard summoning shadow demons. Sybil's fire elemental proved to be the MVP with how much punishment it took and dealing severe fire damage to their opponents.
* After that battle, they found another treasure chest. Aryan shot it with her crossbow just to be safe. The bolt opened the chest and revealed it had several items inside. Muchomucho put on a pair of ballet slippers. They're now stuck on him and they will cast Otto's Irresistible Dance on him once every 24 hours unless someone casts remove curse. SBG3 identified the crystal orb and figured out it could project ghostly illusions only the holder of the orb would believe and be frightened by. He pocketed it for later. Sybil put on a Returned mask that stuck to her face but didn't feel anything otherwise. They left behind the armor of attraction.
* In the northern party of the castle, the Acolytes found statues of Theros' gods badly damaged and vandalized. Aryan fixed up Mogis and Karametra. Dikarus, Barb, and Muchomucho fixed up Kruphix. Barb and Muchomucho then fixed Klothys. SBG3 fixed Purphoros and Ephara and he ruined Procan and Poseidra. Sybil fixed Lunasa and Erebos.
* The group then discovered two Returned guards watching over a prisoner. Our heroes destroyed them and freed Oracle Clara Oculos. She served Klothys and the undead tried to make her divine the future for them. She gave them false prophecies.
* The Acolytes then went back to Queen Nekros' lab and reunited with Juxxtina who went shopping for maternity clothes. SBG3 found the secret button to enter her throne room. Queen Nekros was in there with a shadow dragon and a glowing magic circle. Juxxtina summoned a celestial avenger spirit to fight alongside the party. The shadow dragon proved to be vulnerable to its radiant arrows. Unfortunately, it proved resistant to fire magic launched by Sybil and Muchomocho. The dragon bit and clawed at Juxxtina and SBG3. Aryan summoned a wall of swords to separate the opposing forces. SBG3 cast cloud kill but the poison only affected the celestial avenger. Dikarus launched an arrow from his goddess bow and critically hit the dragon. The dragon unleashed a necrotic breath that Juxxtina'a divine magic largely protected the party from. The magic circle drew the ashes of Puke Wilson the party was carrying and created a Puke zombie. It also pulled blood from Codnus' horns that Muchomucho had and created a zombie Codnus. Because she was wearing the Returned mask, Queen Nekros controlled Sybil and made her attack Juxxtina.
* Puke fired an arrow and knocked Juxxtina out. SBG3's protector cannon and Aryan and Barb's healing spells kept the party conscious and alive. After Queen Nekros used up all of her legendary resistances, Sybil's Bigby's hand was able to restrain her. The zombie Codnus and dragon couldn't destroy the hand. Barb used bane to curse the dragon and phantasmal killer to frighten and hurt Queen Nekros' mind. Muchomucho unleashed a fireball upon their enemies. Aryan's giant slayer fired a bolt right into its eye and killed the beast. Juxxtina cast guiding bolt and it killed Queen Nekros.
* With the Mother of the Returned dead, the zombies she created fell, including Puke and Codnus. The Returned lost the will to fight and surrendered to the army of the living. King Demetrius praised the Acolytes for their heroism. However, he told them he was never captured in this battle. Jerkules confirmed the king fought by his side the entire time. The party has no idea who they freed.
* Every party member received 3 piety points from their favored gods for their heroic deeds.
