HahahahaHA! A simple quest of killing a few meager rats! Normally, Leahpar wouldn't even bother with a quest like this. But he was strapped for cash given recent... upsets so this would have to be a start. Early in the morning, before the usual drinking times had started he made his way to the tavern above where the cellar was to begin this mission. He crosses his arms patiently waiting for either the quest giver or the other person contacted to help him with this quest to arrive. He needed to make sure who ever took the mission with him was capable of taking the hits in front as he shot the pests from afar with his crossbow. His trade was dealing with things from a far and giving orders, he'd do his best to make sure that didn't change even if he had lost his money and influence. And so he waits... this would be the start of his knew beginning, his second chance at spreading fear and pain across the land! |

Selene had taken up the contract for exterminating vermin for one particular reason. She didn't really care about gold but she cared for secrets and knowledge. When her cult still lived back in the capital, their members used to flock to establishments like this tavern. People talked when they enjoyed things, people talked under the cover of others celebrating.
Selene had a soft spot for businesses such as these one. But the Deadman's Tavern drew her attention for one particular reason. She wanted access to the third floor. Not anyone could walk in there and not anyone got invited to join. Sure she could snoop and listen like she always did but she was here to start over. So she planned to earn the favor of the owner by proving herself useful.
When she got to the tavern there was already a man armored in dark plates. He was ominous looking, however, that didn't phase the duskwalker. Yawning, Selene approached the dark knight. Selene with her darkened skin, red eyes and ever tired expression approached. "Greetings, I heard another took this job as well... would that be you or you work here mister~" Selene voice was almost whispery, just like a breeze.

As I await patiently for my "backup", a sleepy looking woman appeared. Leahpar's first impression was that she was involved in help or works at this place, but those ideas where quickly dashed when she stated that another took the job as well, and then proceeded to ask him clearly an armored warrior if he was the one who worked here... Clearly, the odds of him being able to stand in back and let her take the hits were looking less plausible by the second, but... it might not be all bad for him. She wasn't all that bad to look and seemed fairly weak, catching her by surprise and selling her to a brothel could earn a heap more coin then simply following through with the mission at hand. As tempting as the thought was he had other plans in mind, and would have to let her go... for now at least... With chuckle in the manner that reflected his personality he answers the woman, after a long pause. "You're asking if the man in black armor, equipped with a sword and crossbow... is here as a worker... hehehe, well you know how things tend to get in these places... a bouncer is always needed. Unfortunately, I can't say I have a position like that... just yet... but, here in this small little town for the first time, what better way of proving one's self able then... helping out for a modest fee. Normally, my rates are much higher, but... I'm not exactly in the best of circumstances so, I have to take what I can get. Who knows, maybe a fresh start and simple life as a bar bouncer was all I ever really needed? kuhuhuhu" |

With a lazy look on her face Selene watched the armored man. He really did look dangerous but enough to make Selene feel wary? no... at least not now anyway. Selene half yawn and replied to his long winded semi-introduction with a "Oooh~". She placed her hands on her hips and blinking slowly almost as if falling asleep she looked around. "Well... I'm here for the job as well." She yawned again, then her red eyes dangerously looked up at the stairs that led to the upper levels before returning their gaze back to the dark warrior. "Not for coin issues, alas." This time her tone wasn't as tired. Narration Then a man descended the stairs, well he wasn't really a man but an portly elf. He had thick arms and broad shoulders which mismatched with his elegant elven facial features. He gave nary a glance at both the adventures he had hired. One looked way over equipped for the situation while the other, the woman seemed off to him. Still Ellanthid made business out of riff-raff and desperate souls daily, his business had flourished due to the opening of the frontier and that he had learned brought all kinds of people to his doors.
Ellanthid approached the two. "Well right on time, that's good." His tone was between elegant and deep. He put his hands around his fat chest and with his chin he pointed at the stairs leading to the cellars. "Not much to say, clear the rats, find how they keep getting in and stop it." He paused then added "Do it before mid-day I rather not have the whole building stench of blood when I open in the evening and don't break anything!"
Just as the whole building the cellar was just as huge. In fact the cellar was unnecessarily large. The stairways led to an open room filled with casks, making several tiny corridors flanked by the beer and wine casks and barrels. To the far sides there were doors that presumably led to other storage areas. The cellar was dimly illuminated by torches but even then some rather big and fat rats could be seen and heard scurrying around. Selene closed her eyes as if thinking but also as if almost falling as sleep. "Yes~" She said absentmindedly before snapping her eyes open. The darkness of the cellar suited her, with one torch or two put out she'd be right at home. "Well, you look experienced my dear. Lead the way I say." Selene merely drew a pair of her throwing knives and lightly played with them.

Being that it is early in the morning, the woman didn't seem to be very awake, constantly yawning. She again affirmed she was here for the job, but surprisingly said she wasn't in for the coin. Hmm, ... perhaps she's more than just a pretty face and legs, and she has something in mind, kuhuhuhu. Still, if she doesn't prove useful, I'm still going to take the opportunity to kidnap her and sell her to a brothel, as payment of course for being dead weight, if it comes down to it. Still, she may prove useful, so I shouldn't jump to any conclusions till I've confirmed her worth to me. As the two of us weighted, a fat elf soon appeared and gave us our orders, clear out the rats, do it quickly, and don't break anything. Tch, I really hated smug types like this who think they can order me around, so easily. Normally, I would stick my sword through his gut right here, but... I had to buy my time... The rise to the top is a slow and methodical one, I have hold back on my fun till I'm there... Pointing us to the dark cellar, I can see it's dimly lit and the rats are scurrying about. Kuhuhuhu, excellent seems his like the place where a guy can make an "honest" mistake... if it comes down to it. Looking at the woman first, the elf says to her to lead the way. "You know what they say, ladies first." Hahaha. I laugh to myself in my head, as it seems my "partner" will take the hits after all. |

"I see, I see... how nice~" Selene yawned as she moved forward ahead of the dark knight. She took a couple of steps down the stairs, taking in her surroundings. "I guess, it's quicker for me to find their nest or little entry nook" She chuckled, amused by her own words. Well it wasn't the first time she was going to hunt rats, living in the slums of the capital... you had to eat what you had to eat.
Before reaching the basement floor. From Leahpar's perspective, Selene would have seemed as if she became a blur. In the darkness of the cellar Selene was able to make full use of her shadow dash ability. With practiced ease and grace, like an acrobat she jumped through the rows of barrels and made no sounds. The reason for Selene's action was that she wanted to prove herself reliable to the tavern owner, she wanted the invitation to the VIP saloon.
Selene stopped by the edge of the light that a torch gave. She looked back at her companion and called out "I'll go check the small rooms for holes hehe". She turned towards the door and opened it, it was a heavy one and it took her some effort to pry it open.
"Shar unveil thy mysteries to me." Selene might not have looked it but she was a devout servant of her mistress of darkness and secrets...

As soon you open the door, you can hear the noises they make as they scurry about the place. You think you can see them look in your direction, but once you say your words they head you no mind again, and continue moving along in search of more food to take.As I suggest, the woman moves on ahead in front of me. Hehehe, it's almost too easy... Once she's taken care of rats, with a little help from me, it's easy in darkness like this for... "mistakes" to happen. As I keep my eyes carefully on her, she tells me she'll check out the small rooms, then she says some words I can't make out from the distance I'm keeping from here and she disappears. Oh? How interesting. "What a useful talent you have. Of course, with you being so hard to see, I apologize in advanced if you get caught in my crossfire."Hehehe, at this point it really would be an accident. I ready my crossbow and over my bolts I apply my special yellow solution synthetic venom . I ready it in my hand, as I stand at the front of the stars waiting patiently for any sign of the beasts, or my "partner". With her scouting about, that means I might actually have to take some hits, how annoying. I ready my sword in my right hand, and crossbow on my left to deal with any threat that comes my way. |

Selene moved close to the torch, she glanced back at the armored knight as he descended and got ready. The Dusk Walker smiled softly and doused the torch. If she was going to find the hole or potential holes the rats were using to get into the cellar. To make full use of the blessing bestowed by her goddess, she had to be in the dark. How else would she find the mystery of the vermin? Selene closed her eyes and allowed her presence to mingle with the dark. Her nose began to tingle, she could hear with far more detail the scurrying of the rodents. She opened her eyes and she saw as perfectly as if it was daylight. She had activated her Dark Insight. It enhanced all her senses and gave her a perfect vision at night. With it, finding the hole would be easy. Selene opened the door, she paused. Her smile widened and she laughed awkwardly. "Ahh~ sorry for the disturbance mister." She muttered. On the far end corner of the room was a furry creature. It looked like a rat, it had red eyes and oily fur. However, it was the size of a large dog. It was a giant rat and charged at Selene. Selene boosted by the darkness quickly retreated. "We got trouble!" She alerted her companion, readying to throw her knives. Narration The Rat had been living happily for a while. It had plenty of food since it had found this cold and damp cellar. That is until it saw a human barge into his domain.
The Rat wasn't on it's own. Since there was a plenty of food and room, he was here with his whole family. The Rat wasn't afraid of humans and neither was his kin. He screeched as a war cry and rallying cry.
Normal sized rats and the giant kind began to rouse and call for additional help. Near Leahpar and the stairs came charging in two small rats, further away a giant rat also began to charge him. Meanwhile near Selene four small rats began scurrying to attack her!Bestiary: Giant Rats are a subspecies of the common rat. They are far more intelligent, aggressive and dangerous than the common rat. They can grow up to the size of a dog and are highly territorial. Their bites sometimes can be poisonous. On their own they aren't that dangerous, however, they can sometimes rally into swarms, making them more formidable.

As she goes on exploring, she turns off her torch helping her better acclimate to the darkness. It also makes it even easier to fire a bolt in her back on accident as I have no idea where she is. Of course, I'm little low on ammo so wasting it would be a waste, plus I'd like to keep my recipe of death dealing a secret, so I better be cautious. As she opens the door she notifies me she's found something, and that our target has been found. At that moment the rats we've been sent to find appear, and two of them ran past her her in my direction. Hahaha, simple rats? What chance do they think they have against me!? How foolish... Oh well... It always fills my heart with joy to take a life of any kind, as it does the same to my deity Nerull. "Blessing of the afterlife to you miserable creatures. May your death bring a smile to my deity's heart as well." Though, I armed with a sword and crossbow, I shouldn't need more than my boots to deal with them, as I wait for them to come near me I lift up my boots and begin trying to stomp them out to death. Further ahead it seems one of the big one as also took notice of me. Tch, I was hoping she would be the one to deal with all of the ones of that size... no matter, I'm more than well equipped to deal with it. "HahahahaHA!" I can hardly contain my excitement, even dealing death to creatures such as these brings a smile to my heart. As I'm dealing with the little ones with my feet, I haven't forgotten about the only one that matters, as I ready my crossbow and take a shot at it coming at me. As I do so, I ready my sword hand to decapitate it if it comes near me. |

With a soft smile plaguing her face, Selene backed away further from the rats. She glanced in the direction of her companion thinking "Well someone is having a fun time" Then she felt a rat trying to bite her boot. Thankfully her boots were plated and no amount of biting from a regular rat would get through it. Selene kicked the rat away and threw one of her daggers at it, with her dark vision she could see perfectly and her aim was true, killing the rat in one hit.
Selene drew her Kukri and then slashed at two of the small rats that tried to sneak up on her. Then the fourth and final one. At this point the first giant rat she encountered came out of the room. It's beady red eyes glared at Selene and it screeched loudly. To Selene it almost sounded like a warcry.
The room began to rumble, the bottles of wine and licor shook lightly. Then the other doors slammed open and rats began to pour out. Selene jumped and landed over a barrel, from her current vantage point she could see more small rats, far more than she could count and amidst them about six giant rats.
Selene using her dark dash flew through the darkness, moving closer to support her ally, she threw the second dagger in her hand at the giant rat as it charged Leahpar, hopefully giving the laughing dark knight a clear opening to end the giant rat.
