Soon movement caught his eye, and a rat as large as he was started moving through the tunnels towards him. Rajah took on the scent of a tiger, and the rat squealed and fled.Smiling grimly, Rajah advanced. The rats fled in all directions.  How could a tiger have come here?  But the smell was unmistakable.  Even the King of Rats himself quailed at the thought of facing such an enemy.Thus Rajah escaped the rat warren unharmed, without even a fight, and with the dryad’s ring.Next Time: The dryad helps Rajah!</blockquote>
