Note: This adventure had a lot that I want to comment about. For one, the main plot was taken from an idea about a D&D monster I read about on the internet, the False Hydra. There's a lot I'd like to comment about this, so I'll do that in a separate post. I'd also like to comment about the new character showing up at the end, Alkides, which will also be lengthy and so I'll comment in the following post.
