Now, I'm going to hit you with the recap of the previous episode,

then we'll dive right into the action.

Last time, on Venture Maidens.

Our Maidens were recovering from a brutal fight with an even more brutal Red Knight, who unsuccessfully tried to ambush our valiant crew.

But now, with Ravain freshly unstatued, the group headed off to find the tower

of the Rose Dragon, hoping to follow up on a hot altar tip that told them the dragon

might be willing to help them defeat the rest of the knights, if a significant donation

of treasure was offered. After a tense encounter with a treasure chest, who actually turned out to be a new

gem-generating friend, the maidens found the Rose Dragons Tower and successfully exchanged treasure and

a couple favors for the magnificent creature's help. They chatted a bit of strategy before climbing on

the dragons back to ride into battle with the knights,

awaiting them at the arena center.

And that's what happened.
