The quest begins in the Dice Room.

They arrive in the Scorpion Room. Douglas gets caught by the sting and loses a level from his life force status.

They proceed through a tunnel inside the creature.

Motley is sat in an empty pool, complaining that all the water has been drained.

Motley: "'Motley', I says, 'tonight's a once-a-year night. Tonight is bath night.' Only to find out that some idiot's pulled the blimmin' plug out."

A snake appears behind Motley, but the team don't tell him - they just make their own way out!

Motley is not impressed.
