Editing Orochi (section)

==={{DQ3}}===
Orochi masquerades as [[Pimiko]]–the queen of [[Jipang]], and uses the disguise to create a despicable ruse: Pimiko has reached a compromise with "Orochi", agreeing that if the monster is given sacrifices of young girls at regular intervals then she will not attack the village directly.

When the party defeats the Orochi in her [[Orochi's Lair|lair]], she dropped the [[Orochi's sword]] from her tail and retreats through a portal to Pimiko's Palace in Jipang. Stepping through the portal, the player sees Pimiko severely wounded and being tended to by a panicking handmaiden. When it became clear that the Orochi was pretending to be Pimiko, the monster telepathically spoke to the {{Hero 3}} and struck a bargain: keep quiet about her secret and allow her to continue gorging herself on maidens, and she will spare the lives of the party.

Orochi is gravely injured after the first battle and is in no position to threaten anyone: the party will battle her a second time, finally being able to defeat her and freeing the people of Jipang.
