    Queen Panacea says:

    Thank you brave hero!!!!!! You have saved me, and thus my kingdom... I am forever indebted to you for this glorious service!

    To reward you, allow me to grant you several quest points, and in addition, please take these gold coins as a symbol of the service you have done for us.


    Queen Panacea is embedded within some sort of magical prison made of solid crystal. She looks absolutely beautiful with long white hair and broad shoulders, and projects a regal aura of authority even trapped within the stone as she is. Tears stream from her eyes despite the stone, and your heart wrenches at how she weeps for her people, regardless of her own peril.
