>The Party is finally together! they meet Khyber at the entrance, Our Hero asks if she was ok and what she saw? she said that in the upstairs bathroom there was this "weird fuckin thing", Khyber iterates that it was like an amorphous blob with many faces and while it did try and lung at her, it wasn't very successful. In fact the beast looked as if it where in it's very last moments of life, it's breathing was shallow and strained and it couldn't even move without groaning and grunting in pain
>Khyber states that once they "whack this manticore" they should see if the Behemoth has any organs they can sell
>Xiphos looks disgusted by that sentiment, stating that she just needs more time and she can find a cure, she then backs down nervously shaking, Khyber doesn't look angry but she does look annoyed. She reminds Xiphos that they came here for money
>Our Hero tries to deescalate the situation, he doesn't want his new party constantly arguing but before he can say anything a low hiss is heard from outside...
>The Manticore is here
>Xiphos chokes out a couple terrified words. her voice low and hopeless
>"I-I can see it in his eyes...he thinks I've turned from the holy path...run"
