Once both John and Terry saw the Lamia named Medusa they both immediately closed their eyes from the fear of becoming a stone statue
But then they heard Medusa laugh and say as she made her way down the stairs
"Please do not be alarmed my friends, I've had these glasses made to shield my gaze and besides, if I wanted you both dead I would've ordered my soldiers to kill you when you left the Necromancer Dungeon"
Terry said as he still held his eyes shut
"What do you want with us"
Terry and John then heard Medusa say
"I wish for your help from both of you"
John said as he too held his eyes shut firmly
"What could we possibly help you with"
Medusa then said with a troubled tone
"To find my daughter"
After hearing Medusa terry signed before opening one of his eyes slowly and saw Medusa look directly at him before asking as he and John opened his eyes to see Medusa only 5 feet away from them
"What do you mean?"
Medusa pointed to a painting of her holding a purple scaled egg and said
"My daughter was taken yesterday from my home but I do not know by who"
Terry looked at the painting and then back at Medusa and said
"Then how will we know how to find the egg"
Medusa was about to answer when John interrupted her saying
"Hold it! Let's say we find the egg, that what do we get out of this deal if we managed to find your daughter"
Medusa nodded and said before snapping her fingers and had some Lamias in the hall bring a verity of weapons and gear with an orange glow to symbolize that the items were at the Legendary rank and a trunk chest filled with gold
"Should you find my daughter and bring her back to me then I will allow you both to take one item from my treasury as well as 10,000 gold for you both"
Just then as Terry and John looked at the different weapons a quest appeared saying
[Egg hunt]{Legendary}

The Gorgon named Medusa has lost her only heir and has asked you to find the Egg and bring it back to her

Terry only focused on the penalties more then the rewards as losing access to the /Dungeon Market/ will greatly effect him in the future and immediately said
"I will accept and help bring your daughter back to you"
John smiled at the rewards and said soon after Terry
"I will also help as well"
Medusa then gave a slight bow and said
"You will have to hurry, once my daughter hatches from the egg I will need to implement my own magic so it's crucial that she is returned within 20 days before she Hatches"
Terry nodded and said
"Do you have any idea on where to start?"
Medusa shook her head and said as she looked at the floor
"I do not know who took her but I can show you where she was taken from, please follow me"
Terry said as he and John followed Medusa down some stairs
"Who would want to take your egg or better yet, why?"
Medusa said as she reached a long hallway with torches on the side leading all the way down to a pedestal in the middle of a circular room with two doors
"My enemies are not few in number and they would see the end of my rule of the /Dungeon Market/ just to take it for themselves"
Terry looked at John for a second before hearing Medusa say as they reached the room and pointing out to the pedestal
"This is where my daughter was taken from"
John pulled out his staff and summoned a few skeletons and said as he started looking around the room
"Let's look for something to help us look for the egg"
Terry looked around the room and said
"Do you think she was taken to the human world?"
Medusa shook her head and said as she placed one of her hands over her chest
"My daughter and I share a connection so I can still feel her within the city, but I can't find her anywhere"
Terry kept looking around before opening one of the two doors to reveal a storage room filled with wood logs, an old rocking chair and a fire place with a thick layer of dust over everything and said
"What's this room for?"
Medusa stood at the doorway and said while looking like she was going to cry
"A memory from my past"
Terry then noticed a few of the logs having little to no dust on them at all and said
"When was the last time someone was in here?"
Medusa came through the doorway and said as she looked at the logs that Terry was staring at
"I have never allowed anyone else besides myself to enter and I haven't been in this room for centuries"
Terry pulled out his [Wolfs Bane] and tapped the logs of wood before the logs suddenly turned into a ginormous slime that had a name saying
[Shapeshifter Slime]Lv.58
[Health]32,754/32,765
Terry yelled as both him and Medusa starred at the slime
"What is that thing?!"
Medusa then screeched loud enough for the entire City floor to hear after seeing the slime and then said as the slime was spazzing out of control
"A Shapeshifter slime! That must be the thief! Kill it!"
Both John and Terry were a little disoriented from the scream and fell over before the slime jumped over them and went back through the Hallway from where they came from and as John and Terry tried to stand up Terry noticed that the slime was carrying the purple scaled Egg and yelled before falling over again
"It has the Egg!"
Medusa then jumped over Terry and started following the slime before yelling as she held a spear in her hands
"BRING ME BACK MY DAUGHTER!"
Terry then got up slowly as well as nearly falling over a few more times and made his way back through the corridor with John right behind him before seeing Medusa trying to kill the slime but having little success in even hurting it
Once John and Terry entered the hall they hear Medusa say
"I will require your assistance in capturing this slime so I may find out who it's master is"
Just then as Terry and John were watching the situation with Medusa and the slime fighting two new notifications popped up saying
[Quest:[Egg Hunt] Has Been Changed To [Out Of The Frying Pan]
[Access To Floor 93 Elevator Has Been Closed Off]
Terry and John then both quickly checked the updated quest information

Terry and John were both shocked and surprised by the updated quest when Medusa yelled as she was chasing the slime that was holding the egg
"I will keep it contained in my home with my magic, you must capture it alive so we may learn its secrets"
Terry nodded and tried to swing his hammer down on the slime only to miss while John summoned his skeleton as Medusa pulled out a staff with a red gem on one of the ends and said as all the windows and doors were suddenly sealed by a
Series of snake like chains that started to overlap each other
"[Serpentine Cage]! Now hurry and help capture the slime! That spell will only last an hour"
After hearing this from Medusa both Terry and John shifted to their alternate forms as Terry pulled out the [Bloody Tooth] and dual wielded it with the [Wolfs Bane] and John pulled out another staff and dual wielded them both before seeing the slime split in two and morph into both John and Terry with their weapons in hand
