A crumbling hole gapes in the side of the stone, surrounded by rotted wood timbers. A few rusted pieces of block and tackle lay half-buried in scraggly grass. A strange sort of humming noise emanates from within.
Abandoned Mine, Mountain
rat
bat
I am a bat of the forest cave. I see the knights come by every now and then. I fly in the night with sonar.
I do not know what you are doing here, rat. This is a cave meant for bats and spiders. Not rats. I do not know how you got here or how you plan to get out. Can you even see in the dark? I can't see in the dark, that's how I ended up here. I got lost on my way to the queen's quarters. I see. That is the problem with you rats, never on task, always food driven. Nonetheless, I see knights roam down in these caves every now and then. They are likely on their way to the queen aswell. I supposed I will have to crawl onto their armor so I can be carried into the castle. Good luck, they are infrequent and they passed by about a day or two ago. It could be weeks before another comes through, but you are welcome to wait.... If you don't starve first. Well, could you be so kind as to fetch me a piece of cheese from the market? You wouldn't just let me die here, would you? Absolutely no, I will not be slave to a rat. What do you offer me for saving you from starvation? I don't know. What would you want? Your life. Nooooo! Yessssss! Get away you evil bat!
