Tombs of Scoria: Episode 38

__NOTOC__
== Synopsis ==
The McGary Brothers, in the town of Swampside near the Devouring Marsh, opt to wait and attack the Dragon Slayers the following day. After scouting, they recruit two new henchmen, Sylvia and Benji, and prepare for battle. Tyrael, scouting ahead, observes the Dragon Slayers—a formidable group including Lord Gilroy—and relays their presence. As night falls, the brothers cast powerful spells and engage the Dragon Slayers in a fierce fight. They manage to defeat the Dragon Slayers and loot their magical items. Anton discovers a sentient spear, the Blood Singer, which urges him to slay dragons. They decide against fighting the dragon in the swamp and teleport to a giant's lair instead, leaving instructions for the giants to dispose of the bodies. Back in the capital, they face an assassination attempt and deal with political intrigue involving family tensions and potential allies. They find their mother safe in the castle and discuss future plans, including Tyrael's potential marriage for political gain and identifying their newly acquired magical items.
