In the central territory of the Montserrat barony, the main town of Kendra, there were many inns, taverns hastily built to accommodate the sudden influx of players. In one such tavern gather around a tables were 4 such player they were heatedly debating something "I, think we, should move on from this beginners area, and start exploring the world, that the whole pint of this game isn't it?" A male human worrier Sam asked the party leader " That is right but we haven't completely explored the great forest to the south" a male elven archer replied in a clam tone he, was the party leader and his name was Ian "So what! it's not like we will find anything of interest here we've been stuck at the Platinum rank for months now, if we don't move on from this place we'll be stuck at this rank forever!"
Ian, was about to reply when their systems alerted them to a new event quest.
Ding!
'Adventurers from the Montserrat Barony, have observed abnormal signs from the monsters inhabiting the Great southern forest, they attributed this to this to a monster riot, which has only occurred twice in history!'
[Quest rank: unknown]
[Details: Quell the monsters before they do any damage to the Barony]
[Reward: unknown]
[Failure: unknown]
A smug smile appeared on the Ian's, face as he, looked at Sam, the other two party member Lisa, a human healer, and Fred a dwarven tank all had happy smiles on their faces as the read the details of the quest over and over.
"This looks like a special kind of quest" Fred said said with visual excitement.
"Indeed this would be our first special, we should hurry some guys have already begun leaving" Lisa said as she looked at around the tavern which was becoming empty.
Exiting the tavern, the party of 4 discovered that a large number of players, and adventurers, going back and forth. This created an excited mood among the player, because such a quest would no doubt have unimaginable rewards.
As the Great Forest, was quite a distance away they could not make it on foot, and for now at least they did not have any mounts, so they had to hire a coachman to drive them, it made them have to pay up 200 gold coins to the arrogant driver, they could only grit there teeth together pay, as they hoped that the reward from this special quest would be generous.
Arriving, at the entrance to the forest Ian, saw that the personal troops of the Baron begun to set up an encampment for there short expedition into the forest. There we're also a large number of players, and adventurers, discussing something among each other listening in;
"So, for the last time we will be entering the forest with the adventurers, and soldier, in groups of 50"
It, seemed as though a battle plan had already been formed, there party did not disagree with this plan, to kill them with numbers they quickly found there group of 50. There were 10 of such groups which according to the soldiers, was double the number of the last clean up mission. This should be more than enough, to deal with a mob of unruly monsters with no coordination, after all a monster riot according to the game manual, was just a bunch of savage tribe, charging head first head with only destruction in there mind, this made it easy to exploit there weaknesses, and kill them before they even managed to leave the dwellings.
Moving silently in the forest the forest, a group of 50 were penetrating deep into the forest, as if they wanted to get the first kills "Why haven't we found any monster's yet?" an inpatient player, spoke his, face a mass of boredom. Just then, they suddenly heard a scream coming from a soldier, form more ahead quickly looking over they froze with a horrified look on their faces...
