Queens Maze
In the nest of the queen we saw an acid hollow. The interesting thing is that the acid destroys only equipment, on the naked skin it has a better effect. Unfortunately, there was also a Borbarad worm, who preferred to bathe alone.
The beast has thrown another hurdle our way-a giant illusion maze. We were lost for a long time, till we found the way out. Her power to create illusions is unimaginable. That lets us know what to expect when we finally stand before the queen.
We were almost taken in by an imitation, which was represented to us as the worm queen. Under certain circumstances, this creature could have grown to be a second queen. Then we found the disguised entrance to the true queen. Behind the entrance, a mirror battle awaited: we had to fight against our own reflections.
The mirror battle was the last illusion of the queen. But our hope that she only used illusions because she was weak and helpless was also an illusion! The beast was a great giant, immune to most magic spells and able to speak all the spells of Borbarad. A really ugly opponent!
