The rat den is a disgusting, musty room deep inside the tower sewers. This is the area that the rats pull the bones of the treasure seekers, so they are able to get full access to all of the decomposing meat on the bones. Around the room are empty crates, that are broken and falling to pieces. Scattered glass litters the floor, broken ale bottles where some of the poor have tried to stay in the den, before the rat's had over taken it. There are torches on the wall, but dim now, as no soul wants to see the what the light would show. There are rat's nests in the corner, bits of straw, cloth and other odds and ends the rats have dug up.

We haunt this place because we are bound to it. Fettered by it. Unable to leave. Cannot get out...
Boo! Ahhhh! Why'd you have to scare me? It's what I do. I'm a ghost. Are you really that surprised? No I guess not. Why are you here in the rat den? I'm the ghost of a man who crawled up here to die because I lost family in a fire. Sad, huh? Yes, very sad. Do you have any food? I'm a ghost. I don't eat. But there's some sacks of grain outside the door. Great, thanks. I'm hungry Ooooh, now I've got rat all over me. How can I scare people if they run away from my smell before I can even get to them? I don't know. Your problem not mine Yeah. Anyway, I'm outta here. I died here and I'm kind of sick of the place. I already knew you died here. I might have eaten you so that you're stuck
