A Rat's Tale - Overview

The characters are hired by Senator Tomas Woodrue to track down who took his collection of books. They investigate the sewers, follow up on potential suspects, and ultimately locate the thief, the Gray Rat though not everything is as it appears.

The adventure is broken into five parts, most likely played out in the following order:

Part 1: Heroes for Hire Tomas Woodrue, a now-retired former Senator, calls in the characters to bring him the head of the thief who stole his prized collection of rare books and items!

Part 2: Drowning in the Muck The adventurers search the ex-senator’s vault. They find a passage there to the city sewers that leads them through traps and peril to a clue as to how the heist was pulled off.

Part 3: If it Ain't Rough it Ain't Right While meeting with a half-orc with a possible lead, the party finds themselves caught in the middle of a tavern brawl.

Part 4: A Friend in Greed The adventurers meet with an unsavory character in hopes of learning more information, but their informant has other problems.

Part 5: Rat in a Trap The adventurers piece together the clues and confront the thief at last!
