Synopsis
As the class' Christmas Party continues, Molly has gathered Ayane, Maya, Sana, Rin, Futaba, and Tsuneyo for another session of their D&D campaign – The girl's characters, Lidearel, Urrheak, Zagull, Nithhala, Xessaxia, and Ram all attempt to do battle with a giant, burrowing worm.
As Lidearel has their attack repelled by the worm's natural armor, the creature sinks below the ground and slithers away. Zagull mocks the creature for its cowardice as the rest of the party tries to gather their bearings, the commotion starting a brief argument between both aforementioned characters. Having got their foot, Urrheak immediately takes to the skies to hurry over to Nithhala's side and heal them, returning to their original position to try and tear Zagull and Lidearel apart from each other.
Before she can finish her speech, though, the worm returns and flings itself into the air, taking a bite out of Urrheak before it slams onto the ground. Now critically wounded, Urrheak barely avoids being swallowed as Xessaxia quickly explains to the group that the monster can sense movement, hoping the information will help Zagull finally get a hit – Unfortunately, Zagull takes inaction as an insult, flailing around more in protest. Xessaxia quickly draws her longbow, firing two shots directly into the worm's skin, which, while powerful, do little to impede the beast.
Ram takes the front lines, attempting to use mockery to make the worm falter. This obviously fails. Nithhala is up next and, feeling unimportant, decides to whip out a scroll the group found last session. The players all try to convince Rin not to do this, citing her infamously bad luck with rolls, but she refuses to hear them out and has Nithhala toss the scroll into the monster's mouth. To everyone's surprise, Nithala manages to actually hit something, and the scroll bursts into a ball of flames as it's revealed to contain greater fire magic. The beast roars in pain as its body is subjected to intense pain – Unfortunately, the spell also contains a shockwave effect which knocks Urrheak out of the air and into the ground.
As the group reels from this explosion, they notice the worm has stalled in place as smoke clouds form crackles of lightning. The worm slumps, its gigantic mouth open as, from the back of its long throat, a humanoid silhouette takes shape. The silhouette, that of a gigantic, cloaked man grows larger and larger as it steps out from the worm's mouth. The man stops just in front of Urrheak's body, staring ahead at the party as if merely waiting. Urrheak, having managed to lift himself off the group, breaks the party's silence and calls towards the man. The man's gaze immediately snaps down onto Urrheak. The players all discuss amongst themselves ideas for how to handle the situation, deciding on speaking to it without any other leads.
After healing himself with Nithhala's potions, Urrheak flies up to the man's head, realizing just how massive he is from how easily he dwarfs everyone. From inside the man's head coverings, a faint whirring sound can be heard, prompting Urrheak's curiosity. He decides to recover the man's face coverings, hoping to get further information about the mysterious intruder.
As he does so, Urrheak is overcome with memories of his youth and an unyielding sense of calm. The whirring sound grows more and more as Xessaxia becomes increasingly worried, trying to stop the situation before it's too late. Just as she draws her bow, though, the man slams his foot into the flooring and sends everyone but Urrheak into free fall.
The man's face coverings fall apart, revealing a gaping void where his face should be. Terrified but unable to move, Urrheak is drawn into the void, being slain.
