In which we do a tribute to T Rex

The second labor is facing the Hydra of the lake of the Naiads. Open at the Lounge Ambrosia. Our elven

You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you

fighter peppered Chyron with odd questions - again. "What does your bed look like? Have you ever been ridden? Why no pants? Who does your hooves?" Fisherman complaining about problems at Lake Naiads. Chyron offers a reward and off they go. Syrena contacts the Nyads to get some clues - a portal to hell below the surface, guarded by a large anial. After a bunch more futzing about and over-planning they FINALLY "set sail" and encountered the hydra. Battle took one round. The beast never had a chance. By dint of luck the spellcasters were using fire-based spells and rolling REALLY well. Four heads destroyed by fire. Fifth one lopped off but body took enough damage to kill the beast before it could regenerate. Beast killed. Door to hell closed. Giant mudcrab avoided completely. And a nice little tchotchka for a reward. And enchanted hydra tooth that protects the wearer from poison AND allows trhem to breath a cloud of poison once per day. Thought we MIGHT get to the third labor: the Hind of Artemis. But the initial encounter with Aclippe took longer than I thought it would. Shoulda known better. But the hook has been set. And a nice reward awaits. A falcon for our cleric who's been learning the skill from our ranger, and advantage on the next 30 survival/nature checks.
