After heading inside and taking a seat in a room, or, shack section, you tell Aandern the story.
Aandern: "With the signal your sword gives off, that is not surprising. You should avoid the forests if you wish to avoid additional encounters, though I do not think you would be in danger if Lauffeuer does not attack you. The witchlings most certainly won't be antagonistic towards you."
"It said I sounded like a mother, and I ended up saying I was a 'friend'. The witchlings... yeah, that'll be an adventure. Lauffeuer though, she wants a fight. Only reason that didn't happen was I said I wasn't at 100%. Would be getting cheated out of a good fight. How did you know I had a queen signal with me?"

"So. Do we go? Is it a trap? Shall we search a periphery building first?"
Vandolf: "Well, I don't know what your device did, but this definitely doesn't look like what the underground city was so far...
Say, if there's a big telepathic signal from the center, maybe that means there's a very powerful creature there? I'm not sure how it all works, but we might want to find some information about it before we do anything rash.
We could try to interact with these creatures. If they're hostile, going in deeper will probably just get us surrounded. If not, maybe we can find out what's going on."
"You assume those flashes of red are creatures in these outlying buildings? Shall we investigate one of them before we proceed any further? Perhaps determine something about the machinery?"
Vandolf: "Could've sworn I saw eyes... maybe I'm a bit traumatized. Creatures or no, we'd best investigate."
You lead the party over to one of the buildings that you detect magic happening in, and carefully open the door.
A giant crystalline mass greets you, sitting right in front of the door. In fact, it seems to be taking up the entire building, going through the ceiling. Looking to the left and right, it certainly seems to be taking up the building’s width, only a few feet of space between it and the walls. Looking closely, there seem to be a network of vein-like mana conduits running throughout the mass, with countless nodes here and there that perform some unknown function.
Kura: ”Is this a naturally formed component? It looks organic, like a beast core. So uh, you all know that witches can bend space an’ stuff, right? And breaking a witch core causes a huge explosion of debris that seems to come from nowhere, and it’s suspected that their cores are much larger than they appear, forced into a smaller form with space alteration.

Aandern: "When I first started studying witches, it involved stealthily searching for them and observing them from a distance, until I started to try to peacefully reveal my presence to them. That resulted in many patches of fur being burned away.
Poker here took a full fourteen seconds before she attacked me, which was drastically different from every result I had previously, so I continually pursued her until she felt comfortable enough with my presence that she didn't try to burn me. It took even longer for her to start talking to me, but after almost a year she is willing to stay in my dwelling and occasionally make light conversation.
The other shamans aren't too fond of having a witch within town limits, so she usually stays out of sight or in disguise."

"What do you mean by witch...? And what's a core?"
Kura: "Before the corruption, magic was performed through an unknown mechanism in those that were capable. After the corruption, a great number of creatures appeared that had the majority of their magic performed through a collection of specialized AM, a sort of magic machine. That is what we refer to as their core. Creatures that have a core are often referred to as 'corrupted beasts', but we prefer to call them 'core beasts'.
The corruption was an event where a massive number of pinches - forceful joinings of this world and the other - that led to a large number of entities crossing over, as well as a release of a great deal of magic corruption.
Information collected from the more intelligent core beasts suggests that witches have existed in the other-realm for a great deal of time, being powerful magic corruptors and space controllers. When they first arrived in our world they were almost insignificant, because the outer physical form of core beasts and the lack of artificially produced magic constructs resulted in a lack of things for them to corrupt. As cores were harvested and constructs were built, witches mutated and absorbed them, growing stronger and becoming the menace we know today.
It's believed that of all the core beasts we have right now, witches are the closest to their original structure than any other creature from the other-realm." ____________________

What's on her mind Andrew?
Andrew: She's got it blocked. Won't be getting any information unless I actively break in, and I'm not too inclined to do that.
Poker edges out from the wall a bit more, and you get a better look at her. She's taller than you and the one you met on the road by a foot or so, and her face is different as well. Instead of the long crow-like beak, hers is much shorter to the point where it's not even a beak and covers more of her face, looking more like a mask. The hat on her head is flat-topped instead of pointed, but still sports the wide brim.
Aandern: "As long as a witchling recognizes its queen, it won't turn into a queen itself unless if the queen dies, and only one of the witchlings will do so. However, there are deviant witches - witchlings that for whatever reason fail to recognize their mother as queen. As they mature, they change in form and power, and will eventually become queens, seeking new territory or challenging their old queen.
Poker here is a deviant witch. It is a great honor to have her in my presence and record her growth to matriarchy, possibly being the first witch queen that is benevolent by her own decision." ____________________

"Ah... I think I understand what you mean, as far as closest to their original form. These witches though, uh, are they anything like manticores?"

"She normally shy then? Or just around strangers. Or I suppose around strangers that feel like they're here to eat her."

"...Stahlnacht? If you can hear me, could you tell us if it's safe to leave your core? Will we be deposited on solid ground if we do?"
