[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 4248515, member: 34958"] Dartis' comment about the Avariel seems to fall on curious though non-comprehending ears from all of the elves except for the robed elf standing next to him who instead raises a surprised eyebrow. Still it is a rousing speech, and a dozen elven sailors spring into action with 7 bowmen and 5 spearmen. The creature heads acts during this, two of them each gripping onto the top of a different mast while the three other heads snap at Dartis. They miss, but one of the heads bangs itself onto the deck and dazes itself (critical miss). The spearmen rush forward and along with Dartis they succeed in severing it, leaving a bloody stump. The bowmen fire their arrows while the robed man fires a magical arrow from his side and temporarily drive off the heads trying to rip apart the ship's masts. The creature screams in pain and swims away from the craft. The elves cheer at the sight of this, but that same cheering stops once the creature's stump suddenly regrows its original head plus an additional one. Caramip suddenly realizes what this creature is... a hydra, a creature that can regenerate wounds quickly and that can also grow two new heads once one of its original ones is severed. Supposedly the hydra can only be killed by burning a severed stump so that it can't be regrown. For once the robed elf loses his composure and yells back as he points to the soaked deck, [color=lightblue]"Burn the severed stump with what? I have a few spells, but not enough to get all six heads! I might be able to get two or three! Maybe we can make a break for the shore, but it would be more likely that we would lose the ship in nearby reefs!"[/color] The elf points in the darkness to a rocky piece of land that the ship is a few hundred feet from.
