A missing butler had last been seen around a savory pies shop, and skulking about the premises revealed large sacks with bloodstains, a really big meatgrinder, and the shop boy complaining about having to haul around "those disgusting things".So, of course the PCs conclude cannibalism.Violence ensues. The shop boy's been dragged into the kitchen, the owner's got a cleaver out, there's screaming to open one of the bags for god's sake!Inside is a dire rat.The proprietor was an excoriate from the dragonmarked house of Hospitality, and was using her mark of purify food and drink to clean up the meat from dire rats lurking down in the Cogs that she sent her stockboys to catch. The missing butler had turned out to just have eloped without telling anyone.In order to make up for the mess, the Freelance Police agreed to do promotions for the pie shop - so long as the owner was more honest about where the meat came from. "Hi, I'm Joe Zor. You may know me as a freelance policeman. After a hard day's work bashing criminals over the head, I need a good, hearty meal. And nothing is heartier than a Mrs. Miggens' Rat Pie. R. A. T. That spells "quality"."Demiurge out.</blockquote>
