Mythical (They died with their boots off)

PwrOf3D - Sneak Attack

 I usually by-pass fantasy subjects and this one is headed in a quite gruesome direction, but the figure on the right having his toes nibbled caught my eye. It's a marvellous 'surrender' pose which on this blog would usually appear in a leather suspension sequence. In this situation the threat level is even more severe and his nudity accentuates the danger and his difficulty in defending himself. Long (heroic) hair is the norm for situations of this sort (sadly) but these men are nicely cropped and if you cast your eyes around you see the reason why, vestiges of modern army combat gear scattered on the floor. So how did these three soldiers get here and how did the beast (a hydra, by the way) persuade them all to undress for dinner? Does it have some strange mental powers?

It turns out that these three soldiers wanted to escape the desert heat by going into an old tomb (yes, I know, never a good idea). They took advantage of the privacy to shed their heavy armour and some clothes. Well I say some, but as you see it's every last stitch. I thought there was something about soldiers always keeping their boots on, so maybe there are strange powers influencing them after all - or maybe they were just planning to grab some man-centred R&R with their buddies. Whatever the case, a gatecrasher is spoiling their party.
