Cleaning Services Needed

General Summary

Poor Petunia had previously hired adventurers to clear her and her sister's house of rats. The adventurers succeeded in killing all the rats but left the dead rat corpses behind. This left Petunia with the need to hire a new crew to clean things up.   Distraught and distressed, Poor Petunia put out a new call on the job boards of Pandora, hopeful to find different adventurers who would provide the quality service she deserved.   Poor Petunia was elated when Nahshon arrived at the Flame of the Forest with Nels, Sieglyn, and Warful. So elated, in fact, that she burst into tears at the thought of truly good-natured adventurers coming to her rescue.   Without delay, Poor Petunia escorted the party to her house and let them know that her and her sisters had done their best but some stinky rat corpses had been too difficult for them to locate. She implored them to remove all traces of the gross things in exchange for handsome pay. Delighted, she scuttled off back to the Flame of the Forest to await their report of a job well done.   Meanwhile...Nahshon, Nels, Sieglyn, and Warful, doing their best to suffer through Petunia's egregious personality, prepared themselves for all possibilties they may face walking into this dead rat infested home.   The first thing they noticed was the intense smell. Petunia was right, this was stinky. Nahshon wasn't able to maintain his composure and needed to take a moment to void his stomach.   The main floor of the house seemed somewhat okay at first. Warful and Sieglyn went to cleaning from top to bottom, Nels prepped a burial spot out in the yard, and Nahson took a look around. It didn't take long before the strange mirror in the room was noticed. A mirror that revealed differences in its reflection from the arrangement of the room. Matching the room to the mirror's reflection revealed rat corpses. After a thorough checking, they had cleared the main floor of all dead rats.   While the other three were taking a look around on the main floor, Nels wandered into the basement. He was surprised and significantly creeped out when a high-pitched, monotone, and "sweet" voice spoke to him from a pile of crates and barrels in the corner. The sweet voice asked for him to come closer, to help. Nels, assuming a trap, refused.   The party joined Nels in the basement and they all cautiously decided what to do about this voice from the corner. Eventually, Nahshon was the brave soul to peer into the bottom of a barrel to find a porclein doll construct with smashed legs and a bright emerald for one of its eyes. Betty pleaded with the party to take her with them and find her a new home. She offered to help them find what they were looking for in exchange. After some discussion it was agreed that Betty wasn't a threat. Nels agreed to let her stay with him and Betty pointed out all the places some boys (who had been playing pranks) had hidden rat corpses in the basement.   Finally, the party, along with Betty, investigated the top floor of the house. A trunk with six keyholes was the source of interest and pain in this room. After finding six keys around the room Sieglyn tried a key only to be racked with sonic damage as a sound burst out from the trunk. A second key was tried by Nahshon and again, the trap was triggered. Discussing their options and putting two-and-two together, the party discovered that the right keys in the right order would open the trunk without triggering the trap. Inside was a mound of dead rats and a bag of gold.   Back at the Flame of the Forest...Poor Petunia was absolutely ecstatic to see the adventurers return to the inn. She was even more ecstatic to learn they had succeeded in their task without causing more trouble (unlike that last group of adventurers who were a bunch of meanies and aren't invited to the house warming party!). Poor Petunia gave each of the adventurers a hug and praised them, and paid them, for their efforts.
