Rats, why did it have to be rats<\/strong> \u2013 The proprietor from an award winning brewery enlists the aid of the party in clearing the rat infestation from his cellars before the big festival where their title is on the line. The party discovers that the award winning brew has made the rats semi-sentient and they have built a sprawling society under the city, and believe the brewer to be their god.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
