How Beethro Got His Sword - Mouse

How Beethro Got His Sword

It was almost Beethro's eighteenth birthday and no one knew what to buy him for a present.

"I want a Great Big Sword (TM)", he said to anyone who would listen.

However, Beethro's mother had told all his friends that he couldn't have one until next year. She thought he was not mature enough for the responsiblity of killing things.

When Beethro found out that his mother was stopping everyone from buying him the sword he decided to find a way to get her to buy it instead. He and his best friend planted some roaches in his mother's kitchen.

When she found them she was very upset. Beethro offered to kill them all in exchange for a Great Big Sword (TM). Beethro's mother thought this was a really good idea, so she left him to it.

Not wanting to make the job seem too easy, Beethro played games with the roaches as he killed them. He was teaching himself the techniques necessary to be a Delver. After killing all the roaches he thought about how to tell his friends about it.

"I know", he thought, "I'll tell everyone that my first job was killing giant roaches, as big as me! Then everyone will think I'm really a Smitemaster(R)! And I'll tell them I used the fire poker to do it."

So that's what he did. To this day everyone (other than his mother) thinks that Beethro started out by killing giant roaches, as big as he is, armed only with a poker.
