Hunt of the Hydra (level 9)
There has been news of a multi-headed dragon terrorizing the area of Lerna! As far as anyone knows it came out of nowhere and lurks in the nearby marches killing game and traveling merchants alike. King Euryseus has dispatched an adventuring party that he expects to be tough enough to slay the beast. A path of destruction and traumatized witnesses provides the party means of tracking the beast to a swamp. Now all they have to do is survive...
Plot Overview
- As the party reaches the edge of the swamp an old man hobbles up to them seemingly out of nowhere and tells them, "The dragon you seek is deadlier than you know, but this will allow you to succeed" as he hands one of the members a falx of dragon slaying (dragon slayer scimitar).
- The old man then wanders behind a tree and disappears leaving the party to find their prey. There is a trail of elemental destruction within the everglade which leads to the Lernaean Hydra (a dracohydra with the subtype of a dragon) resting after consuming a trade caravan. It won't hesitate to engage with the adventurers, to the death if it has to.
- The adventurers need to bring a head of the creature back to the palace so they can be rewarded with 200 platinum pieces each
