			The party backtracks to the junction were Clara alerts the group that something is approaching. It's a lone wererat who is swiftly incapacitated and captured. The wererat messenger is carrying a note: "Entrance attacked. Send reinforcements."

			After some intimidation and negotiation with the captive the party learns that the wererats are out of food their mushroom crops having failed.

On the way the party pass through the settlement and see that the non-military wererats are all emaciated and starving.

			The King Rat is a enormous, old rat with patchy white fur. He's hold his staff of office in a withered paw. He is untrusting and reluctant to accept offers of assistance but is soon persuaded.

Their are clear signs of infection but she is unsure of their origin and says she would need to consult with her colleagues at the Univeristy of Moyamba. The party debate options or a while before deciding to head back to the King Rat with their findings so far and to ask for additional funds to teleport Dr Potts to and from Moyamba.

			Funds acquired, Potts teleports away and she is soon back. The infection source was quickly identified as serpent in original.
