Did you watch Demolition Man?People eat livestock, but in general those that consume vermin live in the backwaters and the swamps, (although I will attest to the fact that raccoons and squirrels are quite delicious) and people that eat rats in particular usually do so as a preventative to total starvation. At that point though, they'll even eat other humans to stay alive.
So the comparison to cows is just outrageous.
The idea that they would even try to sell rat meat at market is more outrageous still.
The only way I could see it happening is if they were willing to grind it up and make some bluff checks.
Otherwise hilarity ensues as characters are chased out of town by angry rolling pin bearing merchants for bringing giant rat carcasses into the open food court at the local markets.
In that character's situation, rat meat was the only mammal on the menu. In that type of situation, a ratburger beat tofu hands down IMHO. I'd eat a ratburger in that future myself, well done though.Did you watch Demolition Man?
They sold hotrat (hotdogs made of rat). The main dude didn't complain when he bite into it.
You know it sort of sounds like the players aren't happy with the "drops" from their kills and want more treasure.
Ahh computer game mentality. . .
That's hardly restricted to computer games, though. PCs pretty much always try to eke out a few extra gp from whatever they can.
If they need money badly enough to sell dire rats: I doubt they are decked out that richly.maybe he targetted PCs because they're decked out more richly than most average hunters and times are cheap - evil deities require your money too!
