We briefly discussed our next course of action, and consulted Travis, the Sept Guardian for guidance. He told us that it seemed like some of the Ratkin had gone rogue and had come under the sway of zealous leaders. However, they wouldn’t be able to send help as they were dealing with a pack of Black Spiral Dancers.
Before entering the building, Remy performed the Rite of Summoning to contact the Incarna of Rat. Unfortunately, Rat appeared upset that we had invaded his terrority. After Bryan gave it an offering of small items and Gnosis, he calmed down, and Remy was able to negotiate permission to attack his overzealous followers who were not being honorable. He gave us a scent that would make natural rats avoid us, and if we kept casualties to a minimum, would not be upset. Rat asked that we leave the corpses to be recycled by the swarm.
Dr. MacLeod announced an honorable challenge to the Ratkin in the building, and all the small, younger rats fled. Then the group entered combat with several Ratkin, and defeated all four of them in three rounds because we be AWESOME.
