<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Closed Quest:</strong> That’s a Big Rat</span><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/M5bomIF.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Jasper Hulfort (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333483.msg15884537#msg15884537)<br/><strong>Race and Occupation:</strong>Human Lumberjack | Woodworker<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time:</strong>Temple of Casta, Storage Room | W1D2 Castalin - Mid-Morning<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Merry, Alyssa, Wilhelmina<br/><strong>Current HP:</strong>15 HP<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Well... That was certainly an execution  to end all executions for ratkind. Jasper certainly praised her effectiveness, but he also couldn't help but wince at the swift but noticeable crack... Because he could tell it wasn't just stone ground that was split by the axe. When all was said and done, Alyssa and Wilhelmina had terminated the last two critters. "Well, no matter how we slice it, no pun intended... We're done here with this room." Jasper nodded, spinning his Wooden Hatchets and sheathing them on his hips, before dusting his hands off.<br/><br/>When Wilhelmina offered if anyone needed a pick-me-up, combined with Merry trying to he helpful, Jasper waved his hands. "Nope, I'm good! We should save them because we don't know what's lying in wait for us further down." It was a rational thought, and it would certainly cover the fact he wasn't entirely pleased with getting another needle in his chiseled backside. Even if it would probably solve the issues of his injuries for now.<br/><br/>Already Merry was moving forward, Alyssa close behind her which gave Jasper a bit of security in the Vulpi's safety. Stepping over the carnage left behind here, Jasper moved to join his allies in the nearby Storage Room. What should have been a place for food, medicines, and other things the Temple workers could come down here though to retrieve, instead there was a bit of a foul scent in the air. Whatever food had been in here had long since been devoured or otherwise spoiled by the creatures getting into it. The medicines and whatnot were probably still food, unless the rats felt like eating at those too.<br/><br/>"Not the worst smell, but definitely not a fan of that. Don't think I'll be eating for a couple of hours." Jasper winced... Before the scurrying was heard. Except this time it wasn't singular scurrying, but almost..  Cacophonous. It was like a whole swarm of rats was moving around here, combined with quiet squeaks and chitters. In a corner of the room, he swore he saw a mass of... Something moving before it vanished. "... Oh, what fresh hell is this?"
