"The swamps? Oh, that's a long time since someone got out of there. Vines and crocodiles they say in the big city. But down here we don't believe everything they say up there. Everyone knows what's up with the swamp! The hydra is hungry!
We tried to hunt it down last year... that's how i got this wooden stump!

What? you? killing the Hydra? well... i didn't make you out for the brave type, that's all..."
