====Gorso====
With the people of Ronul's End saved, they traveled back south towards Aubelior Whitegate's hideaway, but first stopped in the village of Gorso, where the Silver Torc of the Tower was said to have been given to their lord several centuries ago. Among all the people hurrying about their chores so as to get out of the rain as quickly as possible, they noticed a suspiciously large number of children, all of whom looked like they could be related to each other. Soon, a tabaxi greeted them and invited them to the brothel, where it would be dry and out of the rain, and told Isabelle, Ilara, and Avra that Lord Gorso wished to spread his progeny far and wide and would pay handsomely to sire children with them.  Isabelle and Ilara both very firmly declined, and there was a brief discussion as to whether Avra was even physically capable of that. Still, when they asked about the silver torc and were told Lord Gorso did indeed have it, they told the tabaxi to arrange an audience. While they waited at the brothel, Ilara asked one of the many pregnant women if she was pregnant by choice, and she confirmed that Lord Gorso paid her handsomely and would continue to ensure her child grew up healthy. The brothel owner was cordial and friendly, but they could tell he was trying not to show how worried he was. When they pressed him, he confessed that Lord Gorso hadn't been the same since his wife died some decades past. He shut himself in his room for three years and when he emerged, he was... Different. "Touched by madness," he said, and newly obsessed with siring as many children as possible. On top of paying women to carry his children, he recently demanded that the villagers present him with a new woman each week for the purpose. The tabaxi soon returned and escorted them to Lord Gorso's manor, where the lord's daughter sized up the men of the party and attempted to convince Leon to dally with her instead of whatever boring, tedious business his companions had with her father. He was sorely tempted, but politely declined; Sylas and Ililen were much more forceful in their refusals.

Lord Gorso immediately offered the three women five hundred gold plus free board in the manor until their children were born. When they declined, he told them he would convince them by showing them his most prized possession, in the stables. As they walked, he spoke of how he had foreseen the curse through the void, as well as the heroes' arrival, and that he would need to test their natures. At the stable, he presented them a shackled unicorn, its horn broken off and its fur painted with runes. As he grabbed its broken horn and forced its head down, gloating about how the creature bowed to him, he began ranting that he saw through [[Limbo]] all that was, is, and would ever be, from the moment of creation to the nothingness at the end of existence, and that his line would never be interrupted. When Ilara drew her sword to break the unicorn's chains, he ordered his guards to attack. Sylas hypnotized most of the guards, while Isabelle paralyzed the rest of them and Lord Gorso. The fight did not take much longer than that, and though Lord Gorso's son, grandson, and daughter did throw out a handful of spells trying to defend their father, soon the entire Gorso family lay dead in the mud. Afterwards they retrieved the silver torc and the unicorn's broken horn from Lord Gorso, and unshackled the unicorn, which promptly teleported away having been freed of its dimensional shackles. Out of consideration for the uncomfortable number of children that had just been deprived of their benefactor, crazy and terrible though he was, they refrained from pillaging the manor and quietly departed, figuring the villagers could use Lord Gorso's wealth to take care of themselves.
