Delicious in Dungeon episode 15 highlights

Delicious in Dungeon episode 15 started with Laios and his party waking up only to find out that the dungeon floor they were on was changing its format. They quickly theorized that the mad sorcerer was doing all this to prevent them from leaving the dungeon.

Later on, while continuing forward toward the surface, Laios and his party come across dryads and engage in a fight against them.

Although the fight seemed to be in the party's favor at the start, it all changed after they defeated one dryad. The dead dryad's body released many spores, which ended up giving Laios, Senshi, as well as Chilchuck severe hay fever.

Not only did it affect their senses, but it also closed up their eyes and gave them a runny nose, ultimately affecting their fighting capabilities.

However, Senshi was somehow able to defeat the dryads by using Chilchuck as his vision due to his heightened senses as a thief class. After winning the fight, the party harvested the dryad's fruit, which turned out to be pumpkins with human faces. Later on, Marcille also healed everyone's hay fever and decided to teach Laios some magic since she wouldn't be able to help them alone.

Although Laios was initially reluctant to learn magic, Marcille insisted and taught him basic healing magic. Surprisingly, Laios was able to start understanding the principles of basic healing magic after a few lessons; moreover, he managed to heal some of Marcille's wounds to a degree where the scabs fell off.

But due to using magic for the first time in his life, Laios became incapacitated with mana sickness. Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi later went on to examine their surroundings, but they came across a Cockatrice, which could turn anyone it bit into a statue. Although the party was able to defeat it, Marcille got bitten and turned into a statue.

The next few days were spent as Laios, Chilchuck, and Senshi used different ways to undo Marcille's petrification while using Marcille's petrified body as a pickle press.

Delicious in Dungeon episode 15 ended with Marcille getting healed from the petrification and then lecturing the party about not using petrified people as pickle presses.
