He got up and looked around the inn. Despite the late hour, no one in the hall was sleeping, and moreover, everyone was showing remarkable activity. Something similar affected Nokou as well.
--Friends, everyone who wants to, let's greet the new day with one task accomplished. Kerlian told me something about a hydra, so it makes sense to clear the city of this predatory creature.
A discussion followed about whether to go and how to proceed. In the end, the people came to the conclusion (battle strategy) that they need people who will shoot at it from a distance, and those who will keep it at a distance from others. The stronger guys, primarily Heimyr, Trust, and then Alko, will take turns fighting the hydra in melee combat. If their health becomes too low during the process and there is a chance they will die from a single hit from the hydra, they will immediately retreat, without waiting for that hit (spending a turn if necessary), and another tank will immediately replace them. Everyone else will keep firing at the hydra from a distance. Any attack on the hydra targets the heads.
Having discussed this, they (Heimyr, Kerlian, Nokou, Alko, Trust, Matthias, and May) went into the forest. It was not difficult to find such a monster even in the dark, especially since some had thoughtfully brought lanterns. The battle began.
