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.

rat
thief
I live alone in a tent in the woods. I steal food from the townspeople and coal from the blacksmith. The village police can not find me to put me in jail.
I can't wait to bite into this juicy dinner I've wrangled up. Thief are you not aware of where you are? Oh, how the wine talks. Now I'm hearing rats talk. You must be drunk to be here in my home with ALL my family members.  There is only one way you are getting out of here alive thief. Oh, wonderful. Dinner and a show! Okay, rat. What are your demands? Go with me...NO DON'T TOUCH ME IDIOT...I carry all manner of diseases on my back...I want a turkey leg from the kitchen and some potatoes and what the heck...a cake too. Dear, rat. I know you are merely a hallucination born inside my own consciousness but I'm afraid your eyes are a wee bit bigger than your stomach. I am not an hallucination you imbecile! You are right now in the RAT DEN!  All I would have to do is call my family to arms and you would be the feast of the day. Now do we have a deal or what?  Can you get to the kitchen to fetch my desires or are you the catch of the day? I've got to lay of the ale! Come here you little cutie! Well that did it you went and touched me.  You now have the plague!  I warned you.  Are you too drunk to get to the kitchen?  Oh well...I can go fetch my own meal...I've called my family...May you drink hearty with the devil! Stop that yappin, I've been in the thick of it. Nothing ever stops me.  So now you want to bargain with a bit of meat. You do realize that the deed was done the moment you touched me. Do you know a good doctor who can cure all the diseases that I carry?  Surly you will be dead very soon.
