The

Hydra

Our best fall before their time

The worst shall live forever

Omens

0 of 6 encountered

1. The Candle Knight lies broken in the road, unable to walk. They tell of the Hydra rising from a pool of stagnant water. It killed the rest of her Company. It cannot be killed. It must be endured.
2. A wide hole leading down into damp darkness. Any disturbance awakens the Hydra, bursting forth and attacking the Company. It shrugs off any attack.
3. Atop a hill, the Hydra screeches triumphantly in the ruins of a shattered stone outpost. It fights if disturbed, mocking the Company if they do not realise it cannot be killed.
4. A rapidly spreading fire among the trees. The Hydra waits in ambush, now able to breathe fire ( blast).
5. A roar from above, and the Hydra descends, now winged and able to fly.
6. The Hydra, visibly weakened, crawls toward a bubbling spring. As it submerges itself the water boils, turning black, and the Hydra is gone.
