The ratman poked its snout out of the pipe, knife clutched
between dirty teeth. After an exploratory sniff it emerged into the room,
confident it was deserted. It shifted the knife to its hand and crept up to the
closed door and pressed an ear against it. Hearing nothing, it waved back
towards the pipe. After a moment, the ratman’s companions emerged just as
silently. They arranged themselves before the door, tails twitching in
anticipation. The lead ratman counted down and smashed the door. They piled
into the room and overwhelmed the lethargic guards, cutting them down with no
losses.
