Death!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 106483

Since the dragon's scales rendered most of its body almost invulnerable, Astra took the opportunity afforded by its mouth being open to stab deep inside. The creature's green blood gushed forth, quickly filling its mouth and thus making it impossible for it to breathe fire. It struck out at Astra with one wickedly-clawed foreleg, but she quickly dodged backwards out of range. It was rapidly weakening as its blood poured out, and to make matters worse was finding it hard to breathe as its airways and then its lungs were flooded by the ichor. It made to come after her, but its legs wouldn't hold it, and it slumped on its belly. It thrashed feebly for a few more seconds, and then expired.

"Well done!" Exotica said, and - slightly shamefacedly - Fred also offered his congratulations.

"Thank you!" Astra said."You'd better have your sword back." She handed it over and, seeing Fred take a small rag out of his pack to wipe it clean, added: "Could I borrow that after you've finished with it? A fair amount of the wyrm's blood seems to have finished up on me."

Once Astra was, if not exactly clean then at least cleaner, their top priority was to:

  1. Inform the other maidens who had been the dragon's captives that they were now free.
  2. Loot as much of the dragon's treasure as they could carry.
  3. Before they can decide on what to do, they discover that the dragon's death has triggered its curse. Does it affect only Astra or all three of them?
