The magic mirror that held her very life essence! He sought to destroy it permanently, but he failed! I can tell you where the shards are, but you must ensure that my life does not end here!"
The treant is panicked, and fearful of you. It has information you may need, but will you let it live...?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Listen to me, I am a man of my word and I will not bring harm to you. BUT you musn't lie. If you lie to me or lead me into danger I will prevail... I will come back for you. And you thought that my spells hurt before... I was merely only toying with you. Next time it will be no mercy. So, tell me where the shards are and tell me one more thing... why did the Sun King banish your queen?"
((I'm assuming I don't much about this story so I'm just trying to find out what I can but I can make a history if that helps.))
((I'll wait a bit to see if others want to chime in a question. Though tales and whispers of the Dusk Queen's tale is still around the world this time. Accuracy is up in the air, but you would have a few ideas...if you passed an Arcana or History check. Sorry to say, but...))
Stormbringer tried to remember information about the Dusk Queen and her history, but couldn't recall anything.

Amvilla glances around at her fellow explorers to find the worst off, and quietly walks over to Lanben to cast Cure Wounds (11 health restored) before speaking. "Now hold on, don't get me wrong, I want to believe you, but why should we bring back your queen? What good will she do for this world?"
((Some information was gained from those checks, so yay for you all (= Here ya go))
Those who attempted to recall any knowledge related to the Dusk Queen remembers this:
She once ruled this very forest, along with the lands that surrounded it for many years until she had suddenly vanished.
The forest itself is filled with her subjects. It is inhabited by many frightening creatures, many of which come from Plane of Shadow itself!
The Queen wielded a powerful magic mirror that she used to terrorize and control many of her subjects. You remember hearing about the Sun Kind smashing the mirror before the Dusk Queen disappeared.
Unfortunately that is all you remember...
Grup had attempted to see if the Treant had any allies waiting in the shadows, but he could find anything...
The Treant was still afraid, but when it heard the question for why the Sun King banished the Dusk Queen, it grew angry at the thought.
"Why? Why?! I do not care why! He betrayed her! His Queen! His lover! She may have been harsh at times, but to seal her away and take so much away from her? Any loyal subject of the Dusk Queen can never forgive him!"
The Treant calmed down bit. With what was close enough to count as a promise given, it began to speak of the shards' locations:
One rests at the bottom of a dark pool.
One is somewhere within the Putrid Bog.
One lies beneath a mound of smooth, black stones.
One has fallen int-
Before the Treant could speak anymore, a shadowy panther leaps out from the shadows! It proceeded to slash at the Treant with its claws, and the Treant screamed louder and louder until it eventually stops...The Treant is dead.
The panther looks at everyone with monstrous eyes, before its body began to fade away as if the wind blew apart a statue of sand...
((Congratulations! You gain 2,300 exp! Also, you gained the attention of...something.))

Though the magic that was in front of everyone was only there for a brief moment, Stormbringer recognized it as a sort of summoning magic. The creature had been summoned, attacked the Weeping Treant, and then either was dismissed or ran out of time for its presence in this world...
