The party faces off against a hydra and cerberus in a watery dungeon. Limerick tries to put the hydra to sleep with a song, while Darnit and Hrothulf fight the cerberus. They eventually defeat both monsters and are transported to a new room with more enemies.

Set in

Water gushes in the doorway as usual. Limerick suggests using fire in the water but it doesn't work. Hrothulf tests the water and it still tastes bad. Ego calls Freedeeeedi using a shell to teleport them out of the room. They end up in a similar hallway. Hrothulf runs left while the rest are teleported back to the beginning of a larger hallway. The monsters hydra and cerberus have 8 heads. Darnit prepares to dodge the monsters. Limerick sings to try to put one of the monsters to sleep but it only becomes calm, not asleep. Cerberus attacks and hurts the group. Hrothulf throws jerky toward F-di, but no one moves toward it. Izar adds shadow to Limerick's song and three heads fall asleep. Klutch defends F-di. Ego asks F-di to attack cerberus and Ego fires her railgun at it. Darnit attacks with barkamena and hurts cerberus. Cerberus attacks again and F-di disappears. Limerick casts resistance on Hrothulf. Hrothulf drops his sword and accidentally fires off the wall. Izar's attempt to reach cerberus fails. Klutch moves toward hydra. Ego readies herself and Darnit fires magic missile at cerberus, making it tired. Cerberus tries to reinvigorate itself. Hrothulf sheathes his sword. Izar puts cerberus to sleep. Limerick sings an inspiring song, granting +2 damage to the group's next attack. Klutch and Darnit attack hydra. Cerberus sleeps. Hrothulf shoots and hits. Izar kills one of the heads. Hydra bites Darnit and Klutch. Klutch receives healing from Limerick. Klutch cuts off another head and suggests cauterizing them. Ego makes a left turn. They are transported to another room with gargoyles, cerberus, and an ettin. Andrew suggests looking into the story of Persephone, Hades, and Minotaurs. Klutch sings a song about the Minotaur. They mention a double-sided battle ax called "labris" like a labyrinth.
