Sword 18, 5040


Hydra!  Luckily Meggie used to date a hydra.  She knows all about them.
5 Heads. 15' necks.  U-shaped brand on each head.  Breath Weapon?  Grow heads back?  Never seen a green hydra before (or heard of one).
Z attacks, falls in pit,flies out, cuts off a head.
A tumbles over pit and flanks.
Hydra breathes posion gas.  Fortitude saves - all good.
Beari - Mass Haste.  Ben - Prayer. F - shoots and removes a head.  Shoots 3 more times - removes another head.

Z - slice and dice a head
A - tumbles away, sees more hall

Heads are getting exponentially harder to kill

Hydra tries to bite Z - fails
Beari watches back down the hall
Ben casts Bull's Strength on F
F shoots at last head - not enough to kill it
Z slices at last head - not enough to kill it
A watches the hall - tumbles onto head for distraction

Hydra fails to bite Z
Beari watches hall
Ben reserves
F shoots at Hydra - not enough to kill it
Z slices Hydra - takes off last head

Hydra dies - 2000XP !
We Level Up to 15 !  Yay !

Take poison sacks and find treasure; continue down hall.
Set off sonic blast trap - Beari, F, Z take damage.  A finds glyph & disables trap.  Ben heals Beari, Z, F, M.

Continue down hall - find large room - octagonal room - lit - 20' ceiling - door on each wall - hatch with ring in the floor in the middle
Doors - numbers on right and left - number pattern puzzles are extra evil.  Chronicler's ey are crossed.  We hates it with a passion that will never die.

Go through East door after pushing  *2231.  Door shuts and we move down the hall.
Hear a voice warning us to turn back - too bad we can't.  Oh, well.  It's a Magic Mouth.
See light in the distance - a cavern (open concept den) - it's big, lit, w/terraced floor down to the middle (maybe 30) - each has humanoid farmers - they seem to be falling apart (Leprosy - all my parts are faling off of me) - zombie Farmers must die again!  Ben will re-kill them so they re-die.  F will re-kill them so they re-die, too.
Ben blesses - A steps down and Zombies attack,  Beari flies above.  A is attacked, Ben turns. Beari casts Mass Fly - we all fly to get Key - notice each terrace is at a different point in the growing season.  Don't know how this is possible w/ no sunlight.  Back to door wiht Key - Place Key - Key flies; Beari catches - door pens - back to octagonal room.
