Log
Samara Slitherslime and (most) of her medusa sisters have defected away from their father, the evil wizard Clearasil. Other expeditions and encounters have revealed Clearasil was gathering Abyssium, a metal that merely standing near harms you. As we head off, Samara informs us that her remaining sisters, Green and Irene could probably be convinced to help. When we finally arrived at the destination, we came across a small gang of mercenaries led by an individual who immediately insults Taru's red scarf. After some discussion and backtracking in the talks, their leader reveals they're part fiend and they're named Green... like Samara's sister. Even though Taru is the one mostly talking with them, it takes her a while to figure it out. The door to Clearasil's dungeon is made of platinum and that's how she recruited a gang of mercs, we agree to let them get the door if we get a chunk for helping them with the guard.
The door guard is some kind of 2-headed asura and a floating eyeball (that we were previously warned of), so Sahona disables the eye with magic, and we split up to give the asura neck pains trying to look at all of us. Dar makes his way around to a giant statue to walk down, and while we talk to the guard about how he's just there to protect the door itself, Clearasil shows up and Dar throws a fire bomb at the two of them. I focused my efforts on the Lich with Green and her band of mercs, while the others dealt with the Asura. Green is really able to show her displeasure and does a lot of damage to Clearasil, but he unfortunately manages to kill one of the mercs, named Jerry. Green and I manage to kill the Asura with some help from her friends, while I head back down to help with the asura, Taru nabs the kill. It's not an easy fight but we come away with some minors wounds that we easily mend up. Dar sets a memorial for Jerry where he died. Clearasil had some kind of ritual set up to replace his body in the case of his death, so the job wasn't over. Green had already went ahead while we collected ourselves, while her mercs get to work on the door.
Probably thanks to Green, Irene and the remaining Asura and a Chimera named Fluffy are not hostile towards us, and I guide us deep into the dungeon. We navigate over some seemingly bottomless pits and head downstairs to find that Clearasil's clone ritual turned him into a Hydra. We could tell it was Clearasil since he kept saying his iconic catchphrase, "I've had just about enough of you". We strengthen ourselves with magic and severely mess with Clearasil's ability to fight us. It's still not an easy fight, but thanks to my flaming sword and Sahona's acidic dragon claws, we're able to keep him in place and systematically remove all of its heads, preventing it from growing more. We find his spellbook, and flipping through it revealed a peculiar page that turned out to be his phylactery, so we burnt it out and took some spells home with us. The abyssium he had collected needed to be dealt with as well, so Sahona and I drag it back upstairs. While the others ask the sisters about how to dispose of it, we decided to just drop it in the hole. Turns out, it really was bottomless! The mercs also managed to carve up the door and sent some pieces home with us.
