第18話: ライオスが変身したコピーを特定し、マーシルをアセビの人質状況から救出する

18

The party follows Falin down to the sixth floor, where there are old dwarven tunnels that should be warm but are instead frozen over by ice. Laios learns from Marcille that Delgal was king 1,000 years ago but disappeared when the labyrinth was discovered, leading to the sorcerer's obsession with finding him. The party soon encounters a shapeshifter that makes copies of everyone. After exposing the obvious fakes, only three copies of Marcille, Chilchuck and Senshi remain, making it Laios' responsibility to identify them. Despite their lack of faith in his deductive abilities, everyone pairs up to prepare dinner. Unfortunately, his general obliviousness means he cannot tell the difference no matter how much he tries. Instead, Laios exposes the shapeshifter by assuming the persona of a hunting hound, scaring it enough to lose control of the copies, which disappear before Marcille blows it up. Laios reveals he actually had several hunches about which were the real ones, which turned out to be correct. Marcille is suddenly taken hostage by Asebi, one of Shuro's party members who went missing during Falin's attack. (Source: Wikipedia)
