Getting very annoyed by the second rat, Drax thrusts his both swords at the creature.

[Wicht]

The rat is badly wounded but with the tenacity of the undead it keeps attacking.

Zombie Rats
Round: 4
Hits Remaining: - / 1

Rat 2 attacks: The scorpion kicks the canyon; shields against the beauty of the rodent!

 

[Dalamar]

The mace devastates the beach; grasps the foray of the rodent!

Already getting bored of fighting these undead vermin, Drax lazily kicks the rat.

 

[Wicht]

Drax easily dispatches the undead rat and earns another 1/2 an experience point.

Listening down the two tunnels out of the room, Drax hears movement from the tunnel going west out of the room, but nothing from the tunnel going to the south. From the westward tunnel it sounds faintly like someone is mumbling.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax raises an eyebrow.
And I thought these tunnels were empty. Now there are atleast two different sources of noise.
He looks at each tunnel for a while and then chooses the one leading to west, trying to sneak on the mumbler.

 

[Wicht]

As Drax moves down the tunnel, the noise becomes more distinct. It is a man talking, but the words seem to make little sense and the voice sounds as if someone had made a hole in the man's throat.

"Garbage, take out the garbage, and there is a skull sitting atop the dirt with the rats dancing around. Visitors never come to take out their garbage. We hear them. Crawling like rats to take out the garbage. There's a good girl..."

 

[Dalamar]

Some poor man seems to have gone crazy wandering around these tunnels. But crazy doesn't mean harmless.
Drax keeps sneaking towards the talker and tries to hear if there are any other people there.

 

[Wicht]

Creeping to the edge of the tunnel, Drax sees into another earthen chamber. He can see a crude seat/throne to his left, though he cannot see who is sitting on it. There are several zombie rats sitting in front of the throne watching the incoherent speaker raptly.

 

[Dalamar]

A rat king, eh? Bad luck on you pal.
Drax steps to the room and looks at the person sitting on the throne. He does not act hostile just yet.
