Quest - (Communication) The Extermination

I think it would be a good idea to split up so we can finish this quickly. Ah, but don't go off alone! If something bad happens, you'll need at least one other person to watch your back. On that note... would anyone like to pair up?

 

Oh oh! I wanna go upstairs! There's supposed to be an awesome garden up there so I bet there are some fat rats up there too!

 

Now thats the spirit! ... Or feline instinct, I guess. Is that racist?

Anyway, I'll help out upstairs. Might as well lock up the roof and work our way down.

@Lycia

 

Anybody planning to chop their way through this ought to avoid finer or more vital areas, such as expensively decorated rooms, or places with fragile equipment. Do we... have a means of cleaning up the vitals and remains? It'd be a pity to just ruin the manor by steeping it in rat gore.

...There's a garden upstairs. I have an idea. Who has seen Jumanji before? The very very old one, not that version from ten years ago with Jack Black and The Rock.

 

I'd like to clear out the laboratory, if someone wants to come with. If the rats have any more time to run around in there, they could end up breaking the wrong thing and suddenly they accidentally discovered how to level the mansion in a giant fireball... which to be fair would solve all our problems...

Also, could I get a few of you to capture some specimens for me? Dead or alive, doesn't matter.

 

Sadly no on cleaning up. Can't say I'm exactly looking forward to dragging them out either.

Also, the one with Robin Williams and the actually good Hunter? My dad bought for me on VHS when I was young, but it's been awhile since I've seen it. What do you have in mind?

@Nikephoros

 

I'll come along to support you, even though I don't think rats can really cast fireballs... can they?

@Madison Freebird

 

No, @Yukisa, they probably can't... but with some of the stuff I've seen in this world, it would be my luck to come across one that had Awakened Pyromancy.

 

@Alkaid Zexis there's all sorts of exotic plants up here, from what I can tell. I have a little nature magic. I could use it to either make a large flytrap to grab the rats and eat them up... or a large mushroom to release sleep-inducing spores, to knock them out. Then, I just need to gather a few plants to take with me to the other rooms, and I could try to do the same elsewhere.

Alternatively, I can just impale things on a pointy stick and leave blood all over the place.

 

With how things are in this game I wouldn't be surprised if some of the flowers could soak up the blood instead.

But that sounds like a good plan @Nikephoros. I am decent enough with Aeromancy to lure them in with a scent or make sure we don't inhale too much of the spores ourselves. Although sometimes player performance here can be unreliable so back up might be nice. Got anything that might help there, @Lycia?

 

Anyway, I have some Illusion magic that seems like it'd be the most useful for getting the rats out of the lab without breaking anything dangerous or valuable. I'm also spec'd into Beast Taming or whatever, so that could help. How do you want to handle this?

@Yukisa

 

I'm not sure what you have in mind to do with Illusion, but I'm sure it's worth a shot! If it helps, I have Aeromancy. I can push them out with wind, or drop the temperature so that they leave themselves. We should probably prepare a trap outside then, right? Do we have a net or something..?

@Madison Freebird

 

I can make you look like the most appetizing hunk of anthropomorphic cheese, and you lead them out of the mansion ;)

But if you have aeromancy, then I can probably just trick them into believing they can smell something appetizing in the air, and you can nudge them into chasing down the food they think exists with a light breeze or something.

@Yukisa

 

Cats have good instincts and I'm a cat! It's a fact!

Oh oh~ Miss, maybe @Milah could help you catch some rats! They aren't scary, I promise Milah, and it would help the group! Though, uhm, maybe you want the big momma and daddy rat instead? They might be better for experiments..

Hmmm. I know some songs that I could play. Maybe the rats will like them? There's that one story of the man leading the rats out of the village while singing and playing his flute...
