If anything he is worse than before, and Auriel finds herself particularly disgusted. No, he hasn’t managed to sell the book yet, yes he does have a potential buyer but it is expensive, and the sale can’t be rushed, and would the young witch like a quickie behind the stairwell while the others leave?

One of them swigs a potion and suddenly grows to large size, as they both transform into humanoid rats and press their attack!This time the battle goes much better for the party - they have Azrin’s silvered weapons to hand and even with the reach advantage enjoyed by one of them the creatures are quickly defeated.As the party watch the bodies return to their human forms, a merchant hurries out of a nearby bakery. “Please”, he calls out, “can you do something to stop the depredations of these creatures? We have all been paying protection money out of fear, but it looks like you might be able to stop them? I don’t know if its any help, but the festival stallholders who are near the bell tower have been complaining about rat problems...”</blockquote>
