It is a explained to them as a ''just a little prank to scare my little friend'', but only later the PCs will realize that they allowed a vampire to enter the basement in his dire rat form....(or something <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)Or you can have unimportant looking things, and make them look important. The rats are needed alive, because they consumed an experimental magical potion and have to be examined. The Pcs are collecting some clues about the wizards experiments...and later in a future adventure maybe they will be able to figure that every incident traces back to the first wizard who hired them. Still, he will claim he is innocent- after all, he cares about his failed experiments, or why he would have hired the PCs to get him the rats back then?</blockquote>
