One should appreciate beauty, whether it’s art, dance… or beauty of a body.” Merry couldn’t stop smiling as she said that. The girl stood by the fallen shelf as she observed how Alyssa and Jasper finished their work in the store room. Her ears flicked as she listened attentively if there were any more rodents in the room, but it was quiet now. The Vulpi took her wooden staff and poked around, shifting a bit piles of garbage and rotten food items to see if something would crawl out, but nothing came out.<br/><br/>“Looks like we have cleared this room. Good job everyone! Let’s see where the corridor leads us…” With that she left the store room and returned in the hallway. It was just as dark as before and their only source of light was the orb that followed Alyssa. The corridor ended on a long, spiraling staircase. There was a dampness in the air as they descended the stairs and one rat fled once it saw them approaching. “Shoo… Looks like our work isn’t done yet.” There was a hint of disappointment in her voice, but nevertheless, Merry continued forward.<br/><br/>At the bottom floor was a room, or more like a hall carved in the stone under the temple. Water cascaded freely down to a big, round pool. At the side of the pool was some moss created by the high humidity of the air and that moss looked like it was alive. The green surface moved in a familiar way. Another thing Merry noticed was the smell in the air, it wasn’t just a damp and cold stone smell in the air. There was something else, something… foul.<br/><br/>“There is something… bad in the air here…” Merry mumbled. She wasn’t as surprised,as she was when she saw the rat swarms, now that two huge rats emerged from the grees moss. Their bags were covered in molded moss and their fur was black. Their long nails were crooked and they had shiny red eyes, and those eyes didn’t have an unfriendly glare. “Be ready!”<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Plague Rat 1 = 5 HP<br/>Plague Rat 2 = 5 HP<br/></div></div>
