A green sphere appeared in his open palm. “But acid should do nicely.”He threw it at the base of the hydra’s body, where the five heads were joined.  It shrieked in pain and two of the necks sizzled right off of it.“Keep it busy!” shouted Sebastian.“I thought we were!” shouted Beldin.  He rolled to the side as two heads tried to bite him from different angles.  Vlad took up the defense, bashing one of the hydra’s head in the snout with his shield.Another orb of acid struck the beast and another head fell.  With just two heads left, the hydra divided its attention between the two warriors.Sebastian’s third vitreous orb struck, between the nape of the two necks.  The body stumbled blindly for a moment before laying still.“I’m getting sick of these guardians,” muttered Beldin.  He kicked the door open.</blockquote>
