[Wed Jun 17 20:08:16] DM AnvilX : [Shout] Word goes out there was a possible mugging or kidnapping in Valkurs Roar. Could have been an ugly Halfling or a pretty dwarf maybe even a lady of the night or a city guard, no one seems to know they were seen being accosted in the street and then dragged off by one or ten assailants details are not clear.. but then again, it does not seem as if anyone cares as no one has come to the rescue..
[Wed Jun 17 20:08:54] DM AnvilX : [Shout] Event for first come first serve levels 6-14 Please
Rumors run amok as they always do in the taverns and along the roadways about a disturbance in Valkur’s Roar…. Some say ….
… there was an attack on the new construction site…
… an ugly Halfling or maybe a pretty dwarf (if there is such a thing) was kidnapped…
… lady of the night was beaten by a customer trying to steal his coin pouch…
… a city guardsman was abducted and killed
… Some girl named Ginger...or was she a ginger may be involved, it wasn't really determined…
… a band of adventurers got together and saved the guardsman…
… happened in the sewers, more rats than you could shake a stick at… infested!
… more than just rats… Rat-Men too!
… similar to happenings in Greatgaunt and Suzail…
… maybe something else… maybe worse… a Drow that disappeared…
Of course, none know what truly happened… since if there really were adventurers, they never investigated nor checked any corpses or…..
So, it is anyone’s guess what really happened or what lies beneath Valkur’s Roar….

*after waking up in the morning to hear the rumors, Mynian sets off around the Roar to confirm the one rumor she'd be the most concerned about* *she checks the shrine being worked on*   *the old Circle Sword that's about to become the museum*  *passes by the Great Hall*  *and looks at the place that worries her the most, the soon-to-be orphanage*  *hoping to not find any additional damage and that the rumors are just that* |

After hearing a few things from some adventurers Mynian heads for the Great Hall ...  She inquires with him if he knew who the sergeant or captain on staff was when guardsman Noricho was abducted. If told she'd go looking for them to ask a few questions. AnvilX Goldilocks |

In the early morning hours of Valkur’s Roar…. Just as the sun begins to rise, the silence is broken by a woman’s screams echoing in the alleyway not too far from The Great Hall.
The guards on patrol run to see what all the commotion is about….
A few early risers gather…. looking on…. watching the scene…
They see a woman in hysterics, pointing at the far wall…. her basket of dirty clothes strewn about on the alley floor…. mixing in the dirt and filth…. and something else… dark and wet…. BLOOD…
The guards look on in disgust and horror…. a corpse…. BUT…it is one of their own…. a guard… laying crumpled against the wall…. legs splayed out in front of him, with blood coming from his opened mouth and his throat sliced open and a large dark spot spreading on his chest….
The gatherers can hear snatches of the guards’ conversation…
“I’ll be damned if that ain’t Chan….”
“Cut ‘em down like a dog….”
*A guard looking down and holding a long slender silver knife in his hand* “Why cut his tongue out… if’n only ta slice his throat and I pulled this from his chest”
“Wha’s that… Oh my.... looks like something small was eat’n on em… got tooth marks on ‘is legs… and oh my... look....” *The guard heaves and tosses his meal*
Above the corpse… is a strange unknown symbol/design on the wall…. dripping down…. Drawn from the guard’s blood…..
Word spreads quickly.... a Valkur’s Roar Guard was murdered in the night….

Mouse turns the corner on her patrol of the city, briefly looking away from the gruesome scene. She slowly moves closer careful not to disturb anything that might be a clue to who murdered the guard. Her reserves badge can clearly be seen on her cloak.
"Is anything Mouse can help do?"

 “Back, back all of ya’s” then the guard holding the silver-knife looks over and sees Mouse and his brow rises noticing the badge on her cloak. He turns looking at the gathered crowd with a disgusted look on his face and speaks in a hard, but steady tone. “Aye, You can help by keeping these Gawkers from stepping on or disturbing anything… while we see what happ’n to Ol’Chan here. *small sad laugh* well, we know what ‘appened to him, went and got ‘imself killed, now did’n he… jus don’t know the why”. He looks back eyeing the corpse and still talking in a lower tone, almost as if to himself trying to figure the situation out, “An ‘sides the additions of the smile ta his neck and improvement of no tongue… looks like he took this blade ta the heart an’ then our small four-legged citizens got ta’ him… morning meal I ‘spose … he’s still warm… so couldn’t be too many hours ago. He was just gett’n off of his shift when I came on… mentioned something ‘bout a mission for some High faloot’n Lady who ask’d him for some help an’ need’n ta find out some information for her… wanted ta impress her, I reckun… always was full of himself…*small shrug* looks like they both gonna be disappointed”. He stops, shakes his head taking in the scene… raising his head to look at the bloody wall “… an wha’ the Blazing Hells that spose ta be”?

Mouse nods to the man and starts ushering people away. Her voice louder and more commanding then most would ever expect from the tiny elf.
"You hear what guard say. Him say back so get back."
Those that refuse to listen she nudges with her staff.
"Guard say back. Don't make Mouse angry."
Once she gets everyone backed away she turns to look at the symbol/design on the wall. Mumbling to herself she takes out a piece of parchment and draws the symbol.
"Mouse not know what it is, but if find out Mouse be sure to let you know."
She carefully scans the area. Amber eyes searching for anything that might of been missed or over looked.

Elith keeps his distance but stays close enough to overhear the guards. He looks over the victim a moment from afar and takes note of the design on the wall.

Lorren approached the scene with a pensive look upon her face. Her reserve guard pin upon her cloak allowing her past the cordon, she offered Mouse a tip of her head. "Not to intrude into the inquisitors business, but I wanted to see this for myself; being that the victim was one of our compatriots in the Regulars." A look over the scene and a noting of the painted symbol yielded a sigh from her, as she turned back to the Inquisitor. "Looks rather like an ant's head; I've not a drop of magical blood in my veins, but things never being simple, I'd fathom a guess to say the markings are either magical or ritualistic in nature. If I see the High Mage before you do, I'll ensure she's aware of it." She then spent the next few moments conversing with Mouse as needed, as well as any of the Guard who would identify themselves as having knowledge of Guardsman Chan, in an attempt to discern their residence and the nature of their family. Before departing, she quietly assured the ranking Regular Guardsman that the Reserve Guard would stand ready to assist as requested, and look forward to bringing swift and merciless judgement down upon the craven murderer of this patriot of the Reach and the Forest Kingdom. In the coming days, Lorren would approach the family of Guardsman Chan, offering her sincerest sympathies, the same assurances she offered the Guardsmen, as well as a sum of coin representing the yearly wage of Guardsman Chan, in order to ensure the household remained fed through the difficult times ahead.

(FOR TIMELINE CONSISTENCY THIS POST SHOULD GO BETWEEN combatwombat and hinyoface )The guard nods to Mouse and gives a slight grin and wink at her instructions and small aggression with her staff to the bystanders. He notices Loreren’s arrival with a slight nod and appraises her while listening to her words… “Ant’s head huh” cocks his head to the side looking at the bloody symbol from a different view. “To me… Jus’ looks like sum Crayzy splashed Ol’ Chan’s blood about an’ drew some lines. Don’t know nothing ‘bout no magic either *small laugh* not exactly my call’n, Rituals… hmm, perhaps.. not rightly sure, I giv’ my tithing when it’s due… stay away from the rest… figure better that way all around… Nahh,,, *small shake of his head* his valuables are all gone… I think mor’n likely Ol’ Chan ran afoul of some Crayzy… all hopped up on them funny… an’ ill-eagal shrooms ya can find in some of these fine establishments and back alleys.., need’n more coin for ‘em… the Crayzy did ‘em in and robbed him. *Nods to himself* Yep, I reckon.. that is what happened”, as his slips the Silver-Knife into a small sack. “That’s a mighty gener’us offer pay’n his wage an all… I don’t rightly kno what that be… the knowing is above my pay… but sure ‘nuff someone at the barra’ks would know. I heard Ol’Chan liv’d over by the slum area… don’t rightly kno, never been ta his house before *small shrug* but never did hear tell of no wife or children… but I thank ya kindly for all of us… an the offer’n. If ya come upon something… names Grit… Grit Amador, *looking her hard in the eyes with a nod* you’ll find me… right. He turns once again surveying the scene, with a heavy sigh and shake of his head as he withdraws a small book of parchment and coal-stick then begins writing. He quickly makes a sketch of the symbol on the wall and signals another guard to get someone to clean the “Mess” up. He then goes and speaks quietly for several minutes to the weeping woman who discovered the grizzly scene. She is soon taken away by another guard and after a short while several city workers appear looking half asleep and begin scrubbing and cleaning the blood and gore from the cobbles and wall, while still others cart the corpse away…. It does not take long for the bloody pool to become saturated and start to fade, the symbol on the wall becomes a blur from the stiff horse-hair brushes and the many rat tracks from the pools of blood leading away in multiple directions slowly disappear and become transparent from the lack of blood and an abundance of dirt of the city streets. He takes one last look at the scene and with a heavy sigh and shake of his head, leaves with a determined look in his eyes as he marches away with his report clenched in hand.

A group of adventurers overheard a southwest guard speaking of the incident and traveled to the ally where the body was found. They were told the body had been...chewed upon by something and observed rat tracks leading in many different directions. The group headed to the sewers, as was their intent from the start before hearing about this, and reported back their experience to the southwest guard once they returned. A discombobulated report was provided to the guard but the general storyline that the group entered the sewers, fought many rats and werebats and bandits, heard a loud gong noise, and found an exit through a sewer grate behind Yuppa's with blood nearby. The guard may have taken their names as: Calahir, Ahmad, Julimar, and Korrah. //Chat log is OOC info to the community, treat it as such, and is provided for context of the discombobulated report and "best in his class" guard who may have mistaken their names , also quickly reposted to accomodate AnvilX timeline

[Thu Jul 16 22:10:24] Julimar: The grate is on the far end of the alley from Yuppa's shop. Almost to the dividing wall to the next quarter.
[Thu Jul 16 22:10:56] Julimar: You go down the ladder, and a short distance from there is a heavy door that slides down from the ceiling.
[Thu Jul 16 22:11:00] Ahmad al-Qadim: We better report this to the Minister

[Thu Jul 16 22:21:57] Julimar: The gong seems to have served as an alarm that the door in the sewers would be closed to intruders to their lair.
[Thu Jul 16 22:22:24] Ahmad al-Qadim: Flies and a lot of waste too, make sure to note that
[Thu Jul 16 22:22:43] Korrah Littlefist: ....it's the sewers silly, of course there were.

[Thu Jul 16 22:24:06] Kaltariam Derlian: Well I did see a side storeroom that seemed to be filled with odds and ends, not sure if that's related.
[Thu Jul 16 22:24:40] Korrah Littlefist: So we entered the sewers over there. We started to the left and found a big room with a lot of tall'uns in it. Once we took care of those is when we heard a loud gong. We came back to the entrance and took the right path but missed a door along the way. There were a LOT of rats...
[Thu Jul 16 22:24:42] Stance - (Valkur's Roar Guard): OK,,, store room... odds and ends... *nods*

Having rested the previous day when Guardsman Chan was found dead, Mynian emerges from the Great Hall to only hear the rumblings of a guard having died. While concerned, she's unable to find anyone to speak of the matter. She tells the nearby guards to point any who have information in her direction and that she can be found in the Great Hall.
None mention the guards name specifically to her. Only that he was found dead and the gaurds made quick work of clearing the sight.

Mouse heads to the Great Hall to report the murder of the guardsman. She then walks around Valkurs Roar listening closely to any whispers she might over hear. Asking questions of those who might stop long enough to speak to her.

A slight and nondescript, moon elven male, dressed in forest colored leathers has been seen wandering around Valkur's Roar, holding out a piece of paper to anyone willing to stop at his hopeful smile. The paper reads, "I am looking for someone of authority in the city of Valkur's Roar. Might you know of anyone and where to find them? My apologies as I cannot speak." It is simply signed, "Anen."
After several people direct him to the empty Great Hall, he finally writes a note and leaves it atop the main table within.
"I may have possible information regarding your ongoing investigation into the murder of one of your guards. If you wish it, I'm not too hard to find in Greatgaunt or the Bramblewoods. *signed* Anen'drethor"

After taking a walkabout the city, Mynian gets back to the Hall to see some of the correspondence. She sets herself at a table in the hall for a while to write out some notes to a few folk including the guards and Reservists.
She could be heard to be uttering, "Be loik tryin' ta wrangle cats."
Some letters are sent out while others are simply shuffled off into the halls interior for the right people to see.
After the last is sent out she nods in satisfaction. "Let's get on tha same parchment, shall we?"

Aella walks about the city, her hood covering her eyes but she hears the commotion about Chen's murder. A small sigh escapes her before she places a hand on her hip. She says nothing but softly shakes her head before turning and walking out the cities north gate. Muttering how she won't be getting involved with Roars nonsense again.

Having taken a couple of days off to continue to nurse her injuries, Mynian comes down to go through the latest letters, documents, and missives left behind for her to deal with.
She goes still reading two in particular and is heard to utter, "Guardsman Chan? Son o' a -- .."
However, she silences herself quickly and begins again to right a row of letters and notes that go flying out of the Hall via messenger. One goes directly to the desk of the Reserves.
For the rest of the day she seems restless, pacing, and with a glower on her countenance.

Among other matters, gossip among the citizens of Valkur’s Roar has turned to the notice of seemingly increase in the rodent population. Walking the streets or quenching a thirst at a tavern an adventurer may hear…
“…. Mor’em rats then norm’l… an not just talking ‘bout the regular two-legged ones com’n out o’ the Imp” “Figure they coming in off of the ships… Seen a bunch on the wharf….. scampering about… ships come from all over” “Lurking about… hiding in the shado’s watching… beady lil eyes…” “... all that new construction… bringing them…” “The Gods … angered at the City they is…. Doom is com’n” “…if’n we jus’ got rid of them slummers… never wash they the cause fur’sure” “Tear down the slums… no, no… keeps them away from the rest of us goodly folk….” “Need ta’git some of dem cats from the capital… Suzail… that would take care of it” ‘Heard they attacking folk too…. Disease… better watch you’s and your’s…” “Rats… killed mor’en one… they saying… bunches all ov’r, but the officials ‘r keep’n it hush hush.” |

Near the dark alleys, nooks and crannies, places people dare not roam often, rats have fell victim to arrows. Some twitch, struggling to live as others are pegged against wooden walls, crates and other objects an arrow can pierce.
Behold, perched upon a roof a dark figure stands, hooded and draped in a black garb the woman's big boot plants upon the lip off a flat roof with bow in hand. The wind rustles and attempts to grab upon the figure's mantle as she stares out over Valkur's Roar.
" I Leah Shadowvein shall not rest until every rat tailed vermin ceases to overwhelm this city!" Leah raises her bow as she vows above the howling wind.
"I shall be known as.. Rat.. Rata.. Rataphooey!" The archer purses her lips.. "No no.. that's too silly.. ermm.. Verminator!.. Yeah!.."
Leah relaxes her stance.. "Ratburgers... can't think of a good , heroic name.."
She begins pacing about the roof, pondering, " The Ratocalypse ? The Ratsectomy.. Vermidifier..? Ugh.."
Leah glances down noticing a few passerbys near the slums gazing upon the arrow skewered rats, "Hey... Hey! See you can pick them rats up by the arrows there and cook em right up! Ratkabob!"
The Rogue thumbs to herself as she speak confidently,
"Not only shall I rid these vermin.. I shall feed the hungry! Just.. cook em up real good!"
She then mutters, "Gotta rid potential disease and all that.. not my hunger, not my problem.."
Leah turns from the edge of the roof and dips back into the unseen.

Aella hears the boasting and smirks before she shouts to the Rooftops "Try Pestbreaker next time" then carries on about her day before ducking into allies. The squeaks and cries for rats in pain echo forth. All that remains are bloody and brutal messes. Some rat remains are even on the walls.

A well dressed purple haired fellow Strolls about Valkur's Roar talking to people, swapping tales and jests, he seems comfortable, at home as he strolls about the city. Should he encounter any rats he would take out his pipes and... blow such a piercing sound that hourdes of rats would simply explode

Leah lofts a brow as she hears a familiar voice from below and the suggestion of a hero's name, She two finger salutes Aella figuring she will greet the monk later.
"I could use a sidekick.. but Ratkaboob..? Ahh Whatever.. Ratkaboob and her side kick.. Pestkicker!"
Leah rolls on the roof laughing (RORL) , not paying attention as she laughs herself off the roof,
"Duuuung Beeetles!" The curse bounces off walls with a crashing thunk to follow as the rogue lands in a pile of garbage and other waste,
"Friggin to the Nine the Hells with Fiery Fluffy Bunnies to boot..." Leah vexed while sprawled out along the garbage. She then picks up an ole shoe from the waste with a frown,
"Speaking of boot, wonder if it has a match?"

*quietly and without much fuss, a couple of messengers come out of the Great Hall and start to post up a notice on various walls around Valkur's Roar*
How To Cook Rat
Sewer rat may be eaten, however they must be cooked at a high heat, else disease or worse will take hold. Please follow these instructions in order to cook and enjoy rat, be they of the sewer or forest kind. It is not recommended that rat be eaten, know that you do so at your own risk.
** WARNING: Do NOT attempt to EAT rat if it has been dead for TOO LONG. CLEAN FULLY and COMPLETELY COOK TO ALMOST BLACK to avoid potential DISEASES**
Clean Thoroughly - The rat must be cleaned completely both before and after skinning. Clean off the fur and skin from nose to end of tail before cutting off any parts. Once done, cut off head, claws, tail and innards completely and throw away. The innards are not good for gravy or gristle and should NOT be used for eating. Once clear of head, claws, and innards, skin completely then wash again in clean water. It is now ready to be cooked.
Cook Immediately - Again, do not let the rat sit uncooked for long. It must be cooked at a high heat in oven or over cooking grill or spit-roasting very close to a high fire. Salt, pepper, and garlic recommended for garnish. DO NOT BOIL or USE AS STEW. It must be cooked until almost black to cook out any diseases within. If you've not a high or hot enough fire, DO NOT ATTEMPT.*then in very tiny writing at the bottom of the parchment* NOTICE: The city of Valkur's Roar will not be held responsible for diseases or death that is contracted by the attempt of eating sewer rats. Eat at your own risk. - From the Office of the Minister of the City Interior. |

//OOC for all others except Mynian
*A sealed envelope is delivered to the main desk addressed to: Minister of the City Interior: Mynian Copperhand* *Upon opening, there are three pages of parchment. A message, report and drawing. The missive is written in small plain lettering* Minister Copperhand, I believe you have been notified of the increase in population of vermin/rats within Valkurs Roar proper. As directed the guards have begun to exterminate any and all rats that have been encountered. Unfortunately, this has been of little to no deterrence and the population has not dwindled, but in fact may have grown. Many think that they are nesting within the sewers below the city and all of the recent construction has stirred them. With all of the matters going on within the city, the ranks of the guards are spread thin, not to mention those who have not shown for duty or have gone missing in recent weeks. With that stated and with the normal demands upon the guards and now hunting rats on the surface there are none to spare to look for the source of this scourge. Therefore, it is requested and strongly recommended that a posting be made in Valkurs Roar as in Suzail, for adventures to travel the sewers and eradicate these pest and find the source. I understand the hiring and payment at this time could be a further hardship for the city to procure. Therefore, it is recommended in the best interest of the city, besides a small payment of proof on the decimation of the rats, that anything found within the confines of the sewers, by these exterminators could be kept by them tax free. I look forward to your response on any other recommendations and or approval of such a posting. I was also informed of your inquiry into the death of Guardsman Chan Dungdeen. I was the investigating guard on duty that morning. In case if one has not yet been delivered, I have taken the liberty to attach a copy of the original report that I made of the crime scene. Guardsman Grit Amador
***Attached Crime Report*** (The report is brief and clinical) Valkur’s Roar Official Crime Report Incident: Death/Murder of a Guardsman. Where Did The Incident Occur: Alleyway in close proximity to the Great Hall Victim: Chan Dungdeen Next of Kin: None Involvement/Perpetrator: Unknown Initial Investigating Officer/Guard: *Smudge and overwritten* Guardsman Grit Amador Event: In the early morning hours just before dawn on (date listed) Mrs Jareel Gendil (address listed) was walking from her home through the alleyways to perform her family’s wash when she came upon the murder scene. Her cries brought the nearby guardsman. Upon arrival they found Guardsman Chan dead against an alley wall and missing all personal belongings of any value. His throat was cut from ear to ear, his tongue was cut from his mouth (and was not found and to date still missing) a silver dagger was found protruding from his chest and punctured his heart. It is unknown which was the killing blow or which method was performed first. Bite marks were found on his legs and arms, presumably by rats. It is unknown if this occurred before or after the death of the deceased. Rat foot prints were found about the body in identifying bloody prints. Above the body was an unknown marking made with presumably the deceased own blood. Crime Speculation: A robbery gone awry – Missing valuables. Possible revenge – Murder. Throat cut, tongue cut out, stab to the chest. A vagrant on drugs needing money – Missing valuables. Murder. Unknown Bloody Marking. *PREVAILING THEORY*

The Rogue Westhavian makes her way back from a Shieldmeet in her hometown of Westgate, mumbling to herself.
"Can't believe I took second in that Archery contest.. friggin lost to a Blind Zen Archer .. no way he was blind. Wish someone would pay me to 'Zend' that farce to the wailing wall."
Settling in at Gargoyle and making her way back to Valkur's Roar she notices the instructions on how to cook sewer rat, "What the Nine!? How to cook sewer rat? Gonna bring this back to Westgate. They should follow suit. Valkur's Roar.. what a great city to help those in need!"
Leah steps to the alley ways and catches a few cooking up rats per instruction.
"Heya, let me at some of that rat cooking" Leah interjects as she holds up few dead rats hanging by their tails.
Leah begins following the Minister of Interior's cooking instructions even helps out the other folks, "Oh yeah.. get it real hot there. Hey! Don't use the cooking instructions to start the fire, useful information... use those Shieldmeet fliers.. it's over and done anyways. Pffht, Cormyrian Shieldmeets.. No one probably died there anyways. Probably had another one of those heroic storytime contests..whoopty dee! It's not a Shieldmeet unless someone meets the Bloody Gods to tell them about it. ALL the Gods know about the Westgate Shieldmeet." Leah rants on.
As a few inquire who the Archer is she thumbs to herself, "I'm known as the Rat-ka-boob.. bob" She lifts a shoulder, "Whatever .. not gonna fight it."
One of the poor folk then ask for a morsel of that cooked rat and Leah nods, "Oh yeah.. here take some of this rat ham right here...that's the meaty part."
Leah then blinks as she slowly hands the cooked rat-behind to a person, "Hey.. guess what?"
She glances about to others with a smirk,
"I used to not give a Rat's Arse.. but well.." She thumbs to herself with a smirk,
"Now I do."

Returning midday, after a trip back from Immersea, Mynian immediately makes for the Great Hall and comes across the stacks of parchment work on her small, self bought desk. With a sigh and an utterance of "Yeh were expectin' this so why yeh whingin'?" she goes about the business of tackling the parchment piles. Some hours later with a fresh mug of Maztican Kaeth with Cocoa at her side, and multiple census forms filled out, she comes across the report. Her eyes would narrow just slightly at a part or two. With a click of her tongue she'd mutter, "Will prolly get Truman natterin' in me ear 'bout silver 'n copperin' tha treasury ta death ... but best let tha coin be some incentive fer a rat 'unt." After another quiet pause, reading it all over again, she opens up her leather bound ledger to get out a letter and read it over. Then another murmur as she looks at the name on the report, "... were it cut... 'r eaten out? Did Mista Moonshadow nay tell yeh 'n yeh be assumin' 'r do yeh be up ta somethin', Mista Grit Amador?" Another pause, "'r do me be tha one assumin'?" Yet another sigh and she goes and gathers fresh parchments to compose multiple letters on and a couple of fresh bell marked candles. A deep drink of the Kaeth and she hunkers down for a long night of writing. A letter of thanks goes to Guardsman Grit Amador and an assurance that he and the guards would get the aid they needed to help see this through. Two questions are posed, one as to if the list of missing guards has been passed along to the Reserves. The other as to if she could have a look at the silver dagger used in the murder of Guardsman Chan and how, as a merchant, she might be able to figure where it was bought from. One letter is to Lord Truman Truesilver informing him of the extra cost being expended to the effort of rat extermination. DM Hawk Another is ordinance to the city sign makers to put up a signs at the sewer entrance, near the bank, by the gates near the Great Hall, and again at the market in the North East Quarter. The signs to read coin being offered to help exterminate rats in the sewers.Two to three other letters make their way out, one simply directed over to the Reservist's hall. By the time she's done, it's far into the middle of the night and she adjourns to the upstairs rooms in the Great Hall to finally get some sleep. AnvilX Goldilocks |

A disgruntled guard walks briskly out of the South West Gate of Valkur’s Roar near the caravan, muttering to himself. He nods and exchanges a few quiet words with the guard on duty and then hangs two signs near the gate. The first from Minister of the City Interior, Mynian Copperhand and the second a call to arms rousing those interested in cleansing the local sewers.
ATTENTION ADVENTURERS
The City of Valkur's Roar needs assistance with finding and locating a potential nest(s) of rats and bigger creatures residing in the sewers. The Office of the Minister of the City Interior and the City Guard is offering a minimal bounty for the slaying of any rats or found within the city sewers.

WARNING: These are not your average rats. They have been reported to have gotten larger over time. Do not venture in alone, go in a well kitted group, and be sure to have items or abilities that assist with diseases. - From Minister of the City Interior, Mynian Copperhand *** Sewer Cleansing *** As decreed by Valkur’s Roar Minister of the City Interior, the city will have sanctioned Hunts within the Sewer Proper.
The goal is to cleanse and eradicate all rats and nesting areas found. Besides the privilege of doing ones civic duty, a fee will be provided for proof of extermination ranging from 1- 350 Lions as warranted. In addition to this very generous sum any found items of worth may be kept by the acquirer tax free.
All participants must register and record their name upon entering and exiting the sewers*. A time will be set for entering and exiting.

During her daily walkabout the city in the morning Mynian sees the postings done up by the guards and nods a little in satisfaction.
She's heard to utter, "At tha very least it should cull some numbers... Rata-tat-tat, yeh furry lil' blaggarts."
While said, she continues her walk with a slight look of consternation.
