Rats with gifts!

[Reyek]

You search the giant rat.
It had a snifter of Silver brandy, some acantha leaf.
It had nothing else of value.
A giant rat decays into a pile of mangy hair and bone.


out side North gate there was this rat and i killed it. when did rats reside here and when did they bare gifts?

[StrayRogue]

GS4 or 3?

[Reyek]

this was GS3

[CrystalTears]

I have never seen a rat with anything. I need to hunt rats more. Drunken rats no less!

[StrayRogue]

Well, I am guessing it was purposely spawned outside. Therefore I am assuming it may have been a bug in the treasure system that gave it the random treasure. Or it could have been on purpose. Bug it.

[Reyek]

thats what i thought. i dont uually hunt rats either... i'll show the entire log...


[Wehnimer's, Land's End Rd.]
Vigilant guardsmen scrutinize the citizens and travelers arriving and departing through the wide gateway spanning the land route into Wehnimer's Landing. The frenetic pace of the city to the south is a far cry from the deceptive calm of the wilds of Elanith outside. Two daunting towers survey the countryside and protect the town, flanking the road to the east and west. You also see a giant hungry-looking rat and a wooden barrel.

You gesture at a giant rat.
A scintillating, blue-white aura encompasses a giant rat.
CS: +262 - TD: +5 + CvA: +25 + d100: +39 == +321
Warding failed!
A minuscule blue-white star slowly ascends from the ground directly under the giant rat, blinking in and out of existence as it passes through the rat's skin. Upon reaching its apex just above the rat, the star explodes in a brilliant display of sound and light. Tiny sparks of energy shower down upon a giant rat, causing the rat to writhe in agony as its entire being is covered in a brilliant white glow. The giant rat falls to the ground dead, its skin still pulsating with a blinding white hue.
The silvery luminescence fades from around a giant rat.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

first i look and it changed on me. weird super rat.

[theotherjohn]

are you sure it was a rat and not a hairer than normal halfling?

[Artha]

Probably a GM having fun.

[CrystalTears]

It was a giant hungry-looking rat. It was already special. :)

[Reyek]

now its a pile of compost ;)

[StrayRogue]

You notice in the first shot, there was a GM there? Its definately something special. Probably would have gotten an RPA or something had you fed it.

Ah fond memories of when the Pregnant Kobold was killed.

[HarmNone]

Yup. That was definitely a GM construct looking for some action. I always loved it when something like that happened!

HarmNone is getting wistful :D

[CrystalTears]

Oh I remember one time my empath came across a rat or bunny or something, and my empath has a ball that was taken from one of those jugglers at one of the festivals. Oh my God come to think of it I think it was Celtic that gave me that ball because I wanted an emerald one. ANYway, I took it out and rolled it on the ground and he started to play with it. It was very cute and very fun. I got an RPA for that. I love those little instances of GM stuff thrown in. Makes the game so much more fun to play. Not necessary, but definitely worthy of an Emeril "BAM!" :D

[AnticorRifling]

99% of my GM interaction involves Khaladon killing me in some weird fashion.
