"I reject spewing any of that mushy crap, because none of us are going to die," Cinder says confidently. "Though if any of you want a job at the Spice Caravan after this, you've more than proven yourselves to me. We make pretty good money, and Calimsham's weather is wonderful year round. Travel the world, make money doing it, smash some heads in the process. Win-win, I say!"
Following after the others, Cinder makes no attempt at being stealthy. She does, however, allow Ramious (and anyone else sneaking) enough room to move ahead so that the light shed by her flames don't disturb the scouts.
A smile would creep up across Alyssa's face as Ramious gives his heartfelt speech. A chuckle would follow at Cinder's confident response. A breath of fresh air would fill her lungs for a moment as if for a moment, she felt like she belonged and was welcomed in a group of completely unexpected strangers. The elf had a hard time containing her delight, and right before Ramious would stealth off, she'd snag everyone in a group hug. It'd be a quick brief squeeze as to not cause them too much suffering. Hue would caw in a fuss.
"Huzzah!" Alyssa would skip off behind the others with some pep in her step.

Both dark corridors - left and right - are not that different, but group chose right. It brought the party to another cave, seemingly empty. At the back of the cave is an area that appears wet, like a mud patch or a shallow puddle, and occasionally ripples or bubbles. On the opposite side is the exit. Should you come closer to it, a stench of acid and sulphur begins to irritate your senses.
"After everything we've seen, I wouldn't be surprised if that puddle wasn't a puddle," Cinder tells the others, pointing with her pick at the pool of acid. "I'd step carefully around that, maybe it'll grow tentacles and rise up to hug us."
Alyssa will do her best to follow the others as well, tip toeing her way by. Truthfully, she was curious of what it was or could be, but she knew she needed to focus on the task at hand, finding the hydra.
The smell intensified - ahead of you was the opening to a huge cave - probably big enough for Ramious to fly, though ceiling is not visible and considering monster's high, flying could be less than safe. From where you stand - in front of the actual entrance - it is had to tell the exact size of the hydra, but breathing and heavy movements inside indicate a huge creature.
Interestingly, hydra does not react to your presence yet. Can it be sleeping?
Ramious look back at the group, making a hand gesture indicating he's spotted the creature. He gets the group to sneak back a ways. "Alright, what's our plan here? I think with something this big, I'm not going to be wrestle it." He makes a wry smile. "So...i'm just going to try and stab it as hard as I can a lot...." He shrugs.

Cinder shrugs. „I can try to grab it... no guarantees. But it‘s huge... that‘ll be a risk. Still, a risk I don‘t mind taking. That‘s what life‘s about, right?“. She pauses. „Also, I‘ll eat my hair if anyone here thinks it‘s actually asleep.“
Ramious looks at her hair.....flaming and bright...."I'm not sure that's a saying you're allowed to use...... Alright then, let's get to it. Good luck everyone. Let's go get some."
Ramious prepares to rush in and attack, looking back, if no one stops him, he rushes forward, blade out, with intent to leap at the creature, blade first.

Well, she had plenty of target, sort of. At least size-wise.
The creature did not sleep - not anymore anyway. And it was truly impressive. One thing is to know you are about to face something terrible, and another - really meet it face to face. The thessalhydra resembled a hydra for the most part, with a few differences. Instead of its eight heads emerging straight from the reptilian body, they formed a ring around a large, circular mouth rimmed with jagged teeth. The tail ended in a set of pincers that looked like they can grab an opponent and force it into the large mouth. Acid spitting was just the icing on that huge fleshy cake.
Eight pares of eyes coldly stared at adventurers and gigantic tong licked the "lips" of the terrible central mouth.
Creature raised on it's four tree trunk-thick paws with huge claws, covering half the cave, and roared.

Ramious slows half a step as his worn leather boots thud across the cave entrance. In that momentary stutter his thoughts have frozen the image before him in his mind. A hopeless fool who always runs straight into trouble finally has a stretch of good luck going and then dies facing some enormous and ridiculous monster that he was have betting was a fake. Oh well.....no use for that thought now, he's up to his neck in it this time.
Reality blurs back into action as he leaps through the air with a roar as he tries to slam his blade into the creature will all his might, his battered and rusty shield strapped onto one arm held towards the multiple heads.

Leon once again takes up rear guard position. His lack of stealth making the back position best for him.

Casting Bless on Cinder, Ramious and Leon.

Ramious, "I am not inclined towards fighting things I can't firmly grab a hold of..." He skirts around it carefully and heads for the far exit.

Bringing up the rear-position, Leon will watch the others and how they bypass the acid pool, then follow their example.
Alyssa will do her best to follow the others as well, tip toeing her way by. Truthfully, she was curious of what it was or could be, but she knew she needed to focus on the task at hand, finding the hydra.

"Same here." Leon says with a shrug. "I don't have powerful enough magic to do anything else as of yet."
Cinder shrugs. „I can try to grab it... no guarantees. But it‘s huge... that‘ll be a risk. Still, a risk I don‘t mind taking. That‘s what life‘s about, right?“. She pauses. „Also, I‘ll eat my hair if anyone here thinks it‘s actually asleep.“

"Guess we are doing this..." Leon says, following the other warrior in.
Cinder also strides into the cave, determined to beat the stuffing out of something for her own personal satisfaction.
