RATS!
-
Large dire rats seem to have invested some parts of Peltarch. Marty Leaffall, One of the city's gardeners, was ambushed a number of times. She stares one down, and after making some chitters and squeeks, manages to stay the creature's hostility. She picks her up and takes her into the commons, and after feeding her and casting some druidic magic begins having a lengthy conversation with her regarding where her nest is and where she comes from.
//not sure if a PC or a DM has been leaving these fellas around. If you think the rat would impart any useful information after a friendly chat please feel free to PM me. Or simply post here seeing that Marty would translate for anyone who happened to be around.

Chea, while wary of rats - because of pestilences and possible spying via eyes of such creatures - treats them as living beings, and offers help with her Clairvoyant powers and other magics.
Perhaps there's a way to prevent mass rat murder, and pestilence at the same time.
if somebody asks… or topic happens to be present - she does not hide it, even makes fairly active effort to show this attitude.

The Dolvak Extermination Shop places several tables out in front of their store with samples of rat-traps and other Dolvak
pest-deterrent products. On another table sits a keg of ale and some snacks (which may or may not resemble rat meat)._"Peltarchians! Fer every varmint you've seen, there's 10 more in some nasty sewer nest or elsewhere! Don't let these vermin into your homes, or YOU'LL be the ones that have to leave!
"Step right inside folks, we're runnin' a sale on all kinds of traps and rat deterrents! First pour yourself an ale and have a bite, though. We'll get through this, but not without the expertise of the Dolvak Extermination Service! We recommend ya purchase your rat-traps now while supplies last!"_

_Marty walks about peltarch one night, tapping her tambourine and making kissing/squeaking noises. She rounds up as many rats as she can, including a particularly large, nasty looking sneaky one. She takes them beyond the city walls near a culvert where they can feed on fresh rubbish that flows out of the city. After they settle in, she clears her throat and begins to speak to them._
Too many of ye in the city. Seriously. With you lot scurrying about folks are getting hostile. Some of you are already dead from traps and poison eh?
So I rounded you all up and brought you out here so save you're tiny arses. But seriously, we've got to come up with a plan for y'all.
eyes the nasty looking one
Unless you lot already have a plan? In which case maybe that should be the first topic of discussion?

Marty has been busy removing poisonous rat traps around the city. Most of the time she will gather them into a sack and then cast Neutralize Poison on as many of them as she can.
