Dialogue Topics
The Deep Rat Queen
You know the rats in the temple cellar? The ones fleeing from below? There's something deeper -- a queen, they say. Twisted by the same corruption, grown fat and monstrous in the dark. If you're strong enough, venture to the deepest caves. But be careful -- her bite carries a plague that festers long after the wound heals.
Bat Swarms in the Caves
The cavern bats used to be harmless. Just pests, really. But lately they've been swarming in the deeper caves -- dozens at once, frenzied and aggressive. Something down there is driving them mad. The same something that drove the rats out.
