It's A Rat Man's World
Those of you who make the WIS check... you're not alone down here. Well obviously, but I mean besides the dog and the rats and the vermin and stuff. Faint sounds of footsteps ahead of you as you journey through the mucky depths, even the echo of a soft whisper, barely audible above your own racket. Hmm.
...
KT drops an Animal Friendship on the two-headed great dane.
Er, no, wait, of course he doesn't. One, because KT doesn't have Animal Friendship memorized. Two, even if he did, there'd be no effect, because as previously discussed, the Spiderbot has used up all of KT's Animal Friends slots.
You guys shrug and head right, following the rats.
Not too far after that, the tunnel opens into a large, moss-covered room. Dirty water pours down from a couple drainholes, and pools above a large grate. Off to the side, a ladder descends.
You go down deeper.
Soon, you're in a natural cavern. The squeaking of rats, and patter of rat feet, and roar of water nearby are all almost deafening. Hundreds of little bright eyes glimmer in the lamplight. You prepare your weapons as the horde of rats parts, and another host of giant rats charge you, ready to feast on your blood. With them are a pack of ratmen, wielding ancient, rusted metal weapons!
Just like last time, except each of you has two giant rats and one ratman on you. Initiative yours.
...
Thak, okay, you cover a rag in not exactly mint chip. How's peanut work for you?
When you're down there though, the nutty smell and general stickiness of peanut ice cream takes on a whole new dimension. Maybe 'ice cream' wasn't the right form for scent covering.
...
Az, just to be clear, House Alaheim isn't offering to help expand the hole. The Lord Count tells you he'll negotiate to get the current block removed but- Twilos is weird about actual construction. Especially when the surface is involved. Smells like 'escape' to everyone, and that makes all sides nervous.
