Nearly jumped out of my skin, I did.

He did a nice job of talking while reinforcements arrived.

True, but they're not attacking, just waiting...

"These aren't the rats your looking for."

These rats are hiding from Monahan just as our castaway is.

Krosp is going to present, at least for the short term, an issue here. I hope Agatha has provisions for him.

And where do you think our castaway obtained a rat skin to fit him?

[turbobeholder]

So, Monahan's loyal minions (giant rats) vs. Rebel Scum (semi-uplifted early test subjects)?

I guess "How we intervened in the War of Rats" is going to be left out of "My Vacation" report by Princess Neena.

We'll see if Princess Neena gets to throw a shoe at one of the enemy rats[1].

[1]Yes, yes--I know it was the Mouse King.

This is Agatha's world, not ours. How do we know that ordinary rats here aren't already at least semi-sapient? Lots of other critters seem to be.

I'm now curious to see how well (or how badly) the rats and the bears get along.

[kelkyag]

Tactics here would probably be quite different with Tweedle the animal specialist along in addition to Agatha the mechanical/energy specialist. No obvious specialties yet for Rakethorn or Neena? (I strongly suspect that Neena's a spark, but it's not necessarily true.)
