Closed to only the Heroes that accepted the Quest.

The giant bugs hovered over the statue of the old man who eternally pointed. They were waiting patiently for their next victim. Despite their bug brains they knew the rulers of the sword-men would be sending some more sword-men soon. Not that it made much difference. Their were 13 beetles here and they were very hungry. Of course they were always hungry.

Ravyn watched the giant beetles from a distance. She frowned. Her partner for this quest wasn't there yet. She counted how many beetles there were. 13 beetles exactly. She had always liked the number 13. She didn't know why people thought the number was a bad omen. She patiently waited for her late partner, with her eyes still watching the beetles.

Neverfall watched, perched on a branch in a nearby tree. The beetles were larger than most he had seen. Still, it didn't matter when there was gold to be won. He leapt from the tree branch next to his lady partner for the Quest. "Wait long?" he asked.

She grinned. "Not too long." She drew her Iron Longsword.
"What's our plan?" She asked.

Quiet whispers made The Beetles realize they were no longer alone. They saw a small group of people, they weren't sure how many because beetles can't count, and made their way toward them.
Some walked, some flew. But they were absolutely determined to eat them. The one in the tree looked like easy prey, one quick push and....
6 beetles flew at the female while the rest flew at the man perched in a tree. They were going to make short work of this.

Ravyn heard the beetle's before she saw them. She was hit straight in the gut from a flock of 6 of them. She saw 6 go after her partner. She fumbled to take out her Iron Longsword. She rolled and landed on her feet, sword drawn. She swung her sword at an over excited beetle slicing it in half. She could see 5 beetles in front of her. She prepared herself, waiting for the beetles to make the next move.

Neverfall watched quietly as the beetles flew towards him. He waited until they were almost upon him, then used one of his katanas to slice through the tree branch that was supporting him. He fell like a stone, then did a small flip and landed on his feet with catlike agility. He leapt to his partner's side, ready to attack.

Ravyn felt Neverfall fall besides her. She glanced at him quickly before launching herself forward and swinging her sword. Her blade caught 3 beetles, 2 were sliced cleanly in half, and a third narrowly avoided her blow, but got it's wings sliced clean off. Ravyn quickly stomped on it with her boot. The beetles gushed and cracked.
Skorm's teeth! I'll spend hours getting this off!, she thought grimly.

Can't let someone else have all the fun, thought Neverfall. He ran vertically up a tree and launched himself towards two beetles, running them through with his twin blades. He landed and waited for the beetles' next move.

Ravyn saw Neverfall dominate two beetles with his dual blades. She was about to tell him "Good job", but the rest of the beetles had gathered up and were heading straight towards her. She swung her sword again, this time more wildly then before, but it was no use, she was overwhelmed by them the beetles knocked her over, and began swarming over her.
"Shit! Neverfall!" she called.

Neverfall acted immediately. He leapt into the fray, slicing at several beetles while kicking out at the rest. 4 fell, and the rest scattered. He extended a hand to help Ravyn up. 10 down, 3 to go.

"Thanks." Ravyn replied as Neverfall helped her to her feet. "You really saved I disagree back there."
Ravyn reclaimed her fallen Iron Longsword. She quickly checked if it was cracked or nicked. There were a few nicks, but she would sharpen them out later.
"Let's finish this up. I need a drink." She said.
Ravyn rushed towards the beetles and swung her blade in a deadly arc. Two beetles fell, sliced perfectly in half. She swung her blade quickly around and cut the wings off the last one.
"Last one's yours, Neverfall." she replied. She stood back and awaited for Neverfall to finish off the last beetle.

"Thanks," said Neverfall as he cleaved the final beetle in two. "Easy money. Now, you mentioned something about needing a drink?"

Ravyn smiled. "I would love one. I here the Tavern in Bowerstone gives a good drink for the coin, I'll meet you there?" she asked.

"Definitely. Just make sure I don't go overboard. I tend to down more than I can handle." He wiped the bug juice from his katana and sheathed it.
