Odd Wooden Structure and a Maiden

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 26193

The two find themselves in a large room. On one side is a jumble of chairs and tables. All the chairs were in stacks. Each was identical, ugly orange material over uglier silvery legs. The tables were foldable and a few were stacked on the others. A few pieces of garbage laid on the floor. A bucket of cheese, long gone bad, filled the room with a pungent smell.
The far side held the maiden, chained to a wooden structure. Her hands were close together and chained. Another chain, wrapped around that, led to a wooden beam. The same held true for her feet.
One of the ugly chairs was nearby but the lady had stood up when the two entered.
Fred stepped forward instantly, ready to chop the chains but Belboz held him back. The wooden structure was huge and hard to look at but Fred didn't much care. Getting the woman away from it was a good idea. His every instinct told him to. Fred wasn't thinking it through but he knew that the fact it was hard to look at the structure was evidence enough bad mojo.
"Let me go, wizard!" Fred hissed angrily as the woman's eyes filled with hope.
"Don't be foolish! I know this trap!" whispered the wizard. He swiftly explained.
The odd wooden structure is a physical manifestation of the spells that hold the maiden to her chains and the make the chains tough to break.
Belboz instantly sets to work undoing the spells. Weird green energy floats around him. Pink bolts of light splashed harmelessly on every surface.
It would look neat if the situation wasn't so dire.
Fred stands by awkwardly until he gets the idea to ask the maiden more details.
She introduces herself as...

  1. Princess Astra, of a neighboring realm, who had come to kill the dragon herself.
  2. Lady Nixy, who had lived in a land far across the sea and had no idea why she woke up in these caves.
