You arrive in front of a cozy looking house on the corner of Stonewall and Barracks Streets, near the edge of the city. There is nothing particularly unusual about the place at first glance... Until you notice the rather oversized cockroach scurry out from underneath the front door, and into the shadows of a nearby alleyway.

Stepping into the house Altl found a shaken up Balak, much different from the one he saw in the house as well as some more rather large shadows.
"Welcome to my humble home." said Balak when he caught sight of Altl.
"You want to save this?" mumbled Altl as he looked around.
"What's that?" Balak asked.
"Oh, oh..Nothing I was just wondering if you had anything else that might be important to say before I got to work." said Altl

"Yeah," said Balak, his eyes darting around frantically, "Most of the house is infested with roaches. Don't worry about those, they're harmless. There are three rooms with more dangerous insects, though."
His eyes darted to a nearby door, and stayed fixed there for a moment, before he raised his hand to point in that direction.
"Through there is the kitchen. Those giant ants love the place. That's number one. The other two are upstairs, in two different bedrooms. One is full of giant moths. They spread some kind of toxic powder when they fly around. The other one," Balak paused, and then visibly shuddered as he continued, "has got a giant centipede in it. It's gotten huge feeding off those giant cockroaches. It has a pair of fangs that can gut you if you're not quick, and it can inject poison with them too. Watch yourself..."
"And now, if you don't mind," he said hurriedly, as he opened the door and stepped outside, "I'm going to wait out here while you work, so I don't get in your way."
The last thing Altl heard from Balak before he closed the door was "Good luck." He could swear he heard a mumbled "You'll need it," afterwards, but he couldn't be sure...

"Probably best to start with the ants" thought Altl as he deduced that they might be the simplest to deal with as they lack the the numerous appendages of a centipede and the wings of Moths.
Walking to the door Altl begrudgingly reached for the knob in lew of what was waiting for him on the other side. As he slowly turned it he found it did not simply swing open as there were roach carcasses pressed up against the door. Applying somewhat intense pressure Altl managed to swing the door open, but something unexpected occured.
With the force he had to apply the door had opened rather quickly knocking away a giant ants meal inevitably pissing off the ant and ruinings Altl's plan for a preemptive strike. /*sounds like something the overlord would do to me */ It was clear battle time was upon him.

As the ant Altl disturbed clicked its jaws furiously and rushed at him, he spotted two other ants that had been feeding on roach carcasses abandon their meals and move forward to aid their fellow as well...

/* for some reason I think I'm shifting my point of view here. something seems askew, oh well. */
Altl cringed as he looked over his slain enemies, it became clear to him he had underestimated what he was up against. As he checked his pockets he found he only had one potion and four herbs left to sustain him for his next few battles. It seemed a shame to leave when he had already made some progress and more ants would no doubt show up if he didn't get rid of everything right now, but if the moths and centipede were anything like the ants he wouldn't stand a chance without regrouping.
Straigtening himself up Altl hobbled to the door, his injuries would no doubt heal after a night at the inn. Stepping on a number of roaches both alive and dead Altl opened the door to the outside as the light of day soon engulfed him.
"Done already? I knew you couldn't do it from the start!" burst the eagerly awaiting Balak
Once again reassembling himself Altl replied, "No, I just need a little time to regroup". Before he could hear Balak's response Altl continued drudging down the road in search of the nearest Inn.

Now resupplied Altl's feet seemed to hurry him down the road to Balak's home. He once again passed by the church that marked the end of the townsquare and moved into the more residential area. Going by the now familiar houses Altl couldn't help, but feel confident this would be his last visit to that house.
Once again reaching the corner Altl came upon the house of Balak once again. It appeared that Balak hadn't moved since he left, which was somewhat suprising from the impression Altl had recieved from the man. Stepping closer it became clear he(Balak) had not slept a wink. "Back to finish the job!" exclaimed Altl.
Balak grummbled something indistinguishable as Altl continued up the walk to door. "Well wish me luck" he said. Pushing open the door Altl once again entered into the rather unkempt building.
"First to check on the ant infestation" thought Altl as he walked back to the familiar threshold that marked his first battle. Sure enough there were more Ants which would no doubt notice his presence soon. He drew his sword to prepare for battle.

There were more ants present this time, and as Altl approached he spotted five in total, industriously collecting anything potentially edible from the ruined kitchen, including the now dismembered corpses of the previously slain ants. As the ants detected Altl's approach, four of them dropped their loads and scuttled forward to attack, jaws clicking menacingly, while the fifth seemed to ingore the intruder and continued to work.
