previous episode then we'll dive right into the action. Last time on venture

maidens.

The Blossom Sovereign's final test begins.

Our maidens are transported into a magical arena full of hostile monsters, dangerous terrain,

and three golden blossoms they need to find in order to claim victory over the rival team comprised of mysterious knights.

After surviving a freak lightning storm, figuring out the riddle of the arena's golden altars, and

finding some killer treasure, the gang discovered a hidden vault full of petrified heroes,

including, to their dismay,

Ravain.

With no way to restore him, they pressed deeper into the arena

in hopes of finding a cure and the golden blossoms,

only to stumble upon a nest of face spiders snacking on some poor creature caught in their web.

And that's what happened. So now, here's the show.

Gather round travelers to hear our tale. Deeper in the arena we go, with no time to spare we can't move slow.
