Our next steps to dealing with the ratkin threat

Sir Rowan The Morning Blaze, of the Petrine Laurel calls upon the Levy and Knights of the Petrine Laurel, along with any capable man or woman, to aid in the Extermination of the rat problem that had emerged in Riviènse and left tracks towards the Mesa. 

 

The location of the enemy nest was discovered by our scouting party some time ago. It was discovered that hundreds of Ratkin called the nest home. The party was ambushed by this unseen enemy that emerged from hidden burrows around the main nest, so be prepared for a horde of rats. Luckily the scouts were able to retreat with minimal casualties, but this pest problem cannot be left unattended as their numbers increase day by day, and soon the problem will be too large to handle.

 

Prepare your explosives, ropes, potions, blades, and armor. Ready yourselves for a bloodbath.

OOC: Event starts at noon EST on Saturday, April 18th. Contact Sir Therin (Tremerus) or Sir Rowan (Athonir) if you wanna join us.

 

 

[!] A summary of events is attached to the missive detailing the prior encounters with the ratkin.

 

FIRST ENCOUNTER

Ratkin were encountered for the first time in Riviènse as a small raiding party, they had prowled around and broken into the housing of the folk living within the city walls. The sighting of these rat creatures was first brought to the attention of the local law enforcement. Sir Rowan was present at the time and took charge of confronting the sneaky vermin. Upon being discovered within the University facilities, the thieves turned their weapons immediately against Sir Rowan and those who came to his aid in the confrontation, namely Miss Cinnamon and Mr Belegar. The grayish ratkin wore leather armor with red cloth, armed with stolen cutlery and knives. They were quickly dealt with, leaving behind only confusion about where they had crawled from. Red sand was discovered on their bodies, which pointed to the mesa.

 

SCOUTING REPORT
Traveling to the Mesa, our patrol came up on tracks left in the sand, multiple prints heading southwest into the nearby mountains, which we followed to a broken-down tent, and near it, we found a burrow. 

From the burrow, we heard many skittering voices of Ratkin within. Alas, it was too late, and the horde had noticed our presence. This burrow was not the only entrance to the nest, many small holes were dug into the cliffside surrounding the plateau, and they began pouring out of every single one, climbing their way up the cliffside to quickly push us back. It was an ambush. Our men fought valiantly, taking tens with them as we made our way to retreat.

 

The Tide of Ratkin were in the hundreds. We can't let this problem grow. On top of this, at the last second of Sir Rowan’s spell teleporting the party out of there, Squire Witold-Leszek fell and was dragged by the rats down into their caves. We need to rescue him while he yet breathes.

"Ah yes, the most threatening creatures of all the beasts of Azuras to Descendant-kind."

"RATS."
The Specter shook it's head, tossing the paper aside.
"And when we offer help? They deny it, genuine tragedy."

Vesryn sat in the Paladin's keep, the missive being delivered through a white owl landing on his shoulder. He'd marched with Avistra previously to discuss the plan regarding the kidnapped squire.

 

"About time we get to work."

Whoops.
