In front of the party stood the fearful Manticore. The beast itself had the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion.

It was here that the heroes would encounter the legendary hero Jason of the Argonauts and acquire the Golden Fleece to help them defeat the Giant Enkelados. Who with the remainder of the monster army are gathering at the base of Mt. Olympus.

As the heroes progress towards the city of Athens, they encounter people fleeing the city due to the monster that has been terrorizing those within it.

As the group of heroes near the city of Argolis, they see the once great city now in shambles as it is overrun with monsters of all sizes.
A mighty roar is hear in the distance as the Hydras numerous heads could be seen above the many buildings throughout the city.

As the heroes venture the outskirts of Argolis, they encounter a small camp that is hidden within the trees ahead of them.
(text-colour:#adb5bd)[Hercules: :We ought to be careful, there is no telling how she will react to us being near her camp."]
As soon as Hercules muttered those words, an arrow flew right past his head and became stuck in a tree.

The frightening Lernaen Hydra stands before them in all of its glory.

(text-colour:#c92a2a)[Atalanta:"Well you have my attention now. If we wish to succeed, we should probably collect the famed Bow of Apollo that is supposedly hidden within a cave near here."]
(text-colour:#adb5bd)[Hercules: "We must not forget the Argolis is under siege as well by the Hydra as well. If we have time, we must help those trapped within the city."]

As you launch arrows at the Hydra the others run towards the beast in hopes of distracting the other heads.
(text-colour:blue)[Orthrus:"Well done everyone."]
(text-colour:#c92a2a)[Atalanta:"Are you going to do anything or just stand there and look pretty?!?."]

As you roll to the left to avoid an attack, you notice that two of its heads have tangled together.
(text-colour:#2f9e44)["We need to tangle the heads together to prevent their movement."]
(text-colour:#adb5bd)[Hercules:"Right. I will try and hold them down."]

(text-colour:#2f9e44)[Alessandra:"Orthrus! We need you to lead the heads toward Hercules so we can tangle them together."]
(text-colour:blue)[Orthrus:"On it!"]
Orthrus begins to have the heads follow him as he manuevers away from each attack they throw, they each begin to entangle in each other with Hercules holding them down.
Soon the heads were all caught up in one giant knot trying to break out somehow.
(text-colour:#adb5bd)[Hercules:"Now the heads will regrow after we chop the off."]
(text-colour:#2f9e44)[Alessandra:"We could use fire to block the neck from regrowing the head."]
(text-colour:#adb5bd)[Hercules:"Yes that will work. Quick Orthrus use your flames. I will hold the beast down while you cut the heads and Orthrus breathes fire on the wounds."]
(text-colour:#2f9e44)[Alessandra:"Lets get started."]
As each head was cut off, Orthrus was quick to use his firey breathe where each head was. Soon the Hydra layed defeated as one head remained alive and writhing before the group.
[[Inspect the head]]

The group looked around when a thought occured.
(text-colour:#2f9e44)["Perhaps we could take it to the mountains and place a boulder on top of the head. That would prevent the head from causing any harm to others."]
(text-colour:#adb5bd)[Hercules:"That is an excellent idea! Let us venture into the mountains then."]
As the group travelled to the mountain pass near the city, they came across a giant boulder that would prevent an from experiencing the Hydras wrath.
Hercules lifted the boulder and dropped it onto the Hydra effectively sealing it away from those that it could harm.
(text-colour:#2f9e44)["Now that the Hydra has been dealt with, let us continue onward."]

As the heroes enter the cave they are faced with two paths to choose from.

With skill, she uses her newly acquired sword to help fend the incoming attackers and keep them at bay.
Within little to no time, the foes before her are defeated and she then proceeds forwards towards Polybotes where Achilles, Hercules, Orthrus are dodging what Polybotes throws at them.

IN NOT TIME, THE TRIO STAND ATOP THE GIANTS HEAD AND QUICKLY RAISE THEIR WEAPONS UP THEY PLUNGE THEM DEEP INTO POLYBOTES’S SKULL.
WITH A LOUD SHOUT, POLYBOTES FALLS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND LAYS THERE WRITHING IN AGONY.
Polybotes:"You think you can defeat us! You cannot stop us from succeeding."
Alessandra:"We just stopped you."
AND WITH THOSE WORDS, THE GIANT POLYBOTES WAS DEFEATED AS ALESSANDRA PLUNGED HER TRIDENT DEEP WITHIN THE GIANTS THROAT.
After the defeat of Polybotes, the party is blinded by a bright light.
