Whilst placing a banner at the minoc gate I was suddenly pushed from the rear causing me to fall over and burn my left hand on one of the torches I was placing. A vesper attack i thought and jumped up quickly with blade in hand only to find a pig glaring at me with cold beady eyes. Angrily I went for the pig which squealed and ran off in a westerly direction. I gave chase thinking of a well earned bacon breakfast after such a laborious task. I chased for a while and suddenly right before me a chasm appeared, a huge hole in the earth that seemed to emit a rather acrid pungent smell, forgetting my stomach I decided to investigate..
Upon entering the chasm I came across two large dead ant like creatures that had only recently been slain as the bodies still appeared to be twitching. Rounding the next corner I came face to face with a live one and quickly sent it to join its friends. The deeper in I went the more ants there where and the more I fought, twas as if a lead ant was directing worker or soldier ants to attack me. I was slowly being worn down with ant upon ant being sent, just as i was about to give up I saw a gigantic ant that was screeching high pitched what i can only assume to be orders to the other ants you may even say it had a raiden-esk quality to it, who would then all come at me. I attacked the giant ant and stabbed it many times, its hard bodied armor repelled my blade again and again until with a very forceful thrust *POW* i had beaten its armor! * SLPOOOOOOOSH* and was promptly met with a faceful of the ants stomach acid. A few more stabs and the insect was crushed. Seeing their Queen defeated the rest of the ants ran and I took the opportunity to beat a hasty retreat.
