Comments on Swarm Hunt! Rat Kings All Comments

story prompt: start


Your character finds themselves on the outskirts of a small town somewhere in Ivras. Evening is quickly coming on, and from somewhere behind them, they hear a skittering sound, like hundreds of tiny claws against the cobblestones.

What do they do?

  1. 1. Investigate.
  2. 2. Ignore.

story prompt: option 1


Your character turns around, and sees a group of rats disappear behind a building. Intrigued, your character follows them… Surprise! A huge ratking suddenly appears, frenzied. The entangled rats seem to have been exposed to some kind of magic—an iridescent substance shimmers around their mouths, and some of the rats have extra eyes and legs.

What do they do?

  1. 1A. Fight it!
  2. 1B. Defend yourself, and flee when it’s not looking.

story prompt: option 1a, final


Your character fights it. For each rat that goes down, the rat king’s movements turn more and more sluggish and slow, fighting both your character and the dead weight of the other rats.

Finally, the rat king falls, and the smaller, normal rats around it scatter in all directions, disappearing into whatever holes they can find.

story prompt: option 1b, final


Your character flees when they get the chance. The rat king rages on, seemingly oblivious, and eventually it waddles off, but its steps are unsteady.

Your character didn’t see where the rat king disappeared to, but if they meet someone, at least they can warn them what’s out there.

story prompt: option 2


Your character ignores the sound and goes on with their business. But the skittering grows louder, and closer… Worried, your character swiftly sneaks to hide behind a wall. A moment later, a large horde of rats rush past, a huge ratking in their midst. The entangled rats look kind of sick and weird, and are definitely too big to be normal rats. Their eyes glimmer with an otherworldly shine.

What do they do?

  1. 2A. Follow it and see where it goes.
  2. 2B. Attack it from behind, when it’s not looking.

story prompt: option 2a, final


The rat king walks off towards the edge of town, where a river runs past. Your character watches as it digs up a buried stash of potions, and eagerly drinks a few. For a moment, it seems like the rat king gains new energy, but then it shudders and falls to the ground.

Your character steps closer as the smaller, normal rats scatter in all directions. The rat king seems to be dead, probably from drinking all kinds of potions that should not be mixed together.

story prompt: option 2b, final


Your character attacks the rat king from behind, gaining the upper hand. It flees, and the smaller rats with it. Your character follows, and sees the rat king disappear into a hole dug into the nearby riverbank. Old potion bottles litter the ground before the den.

Well, at least your character can escape the scene without getting pursued. The rat king will be someone else’s problem. All these potions, though… maybe they could be useful for something.
