In Which Two Brains Defeat Four

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 41045

Apparently possessing enough intelligence to realise that if it lost its final head it would die, the creature fled. "Are you all right?" Astra asked Shen Tso. (Though, given their fused state, whether Shen Tsu could fail to be all right when Astra was OK might be considered doubtful.)

"I think so. I - we - seem to be pretty tough. And I don't think that we can feel pain, which helps. What did you make of what the fiery man said? You and he have met before, I take it? If the plaques that we have followed were placed by the dragon, then that is alarming. As is how little I know about the wyrm. I hadn't even realised that it was female till now. I don't recall Belboz ever mentioning that."

"Nor before now did its tool, the man of fire, mention it to me. And though I've had the dubious pleasure of meeting the beast itself, I wouldn't know how to go about determining its sex. But that's an irrelevance. The question is what are we to do now?"

  1. "Though - in spite of our minor victory - our quest now seems hopeless, I see no alternative to carrying on."
  2. "Perhaps we should try to retrace our steps and find Belboz. I haven't told you about him yet, but he may be able to advise us. However the way back would be long and difficult."
