There was a rush of relief when it turned out that whatever was behind the door was not someone or somethings with the desire to see the innards of present company. It was short lived however, partially in that Marita refused to let her guard down, but also in that there were several oddities that came about in rapid succession. She didn't understand the meaning of the axe immediately, but Kathryn and Victoria cleared that up pretty quickly. The rat... well she would deal with the rat when its time came.

What really threw her off was the voice. In her mind she had been preparing for the absolute worst case scenario where the entire town would be wiped out before the morning came. Or at the very least that they would have to be on guard for the entire night for attacks, and what they had seen with the rats earlier on seemed to back that up. But it was what, a couple of hours past sundown at most? And they were announcing that they were supposedly done for the night. And "bound to serve us in death?" Up until now she hadn't caught even a whiff of necromancy that wasn't coming from Victoria. Were the wererats actually those who had already been killed? Things didn't add up. Why would they make an announcement like this? Clearly they wanted to use fear to keep people inside to prevent any resistance from what they were doing. Perhaps the total manpower of the forces of evil was much less than anticipated. Perhaps they were performing some sort of ritual that required all three days of the Harvest Moon to complete. Whatever the case was, she didn't like it.

Back to the rat.

[color=FF6C5C]"I doubt that it would try to attack us. If they wanted to do so, they would have done so already. After all, they hold all the cards in this situation. However, all this reeks of a trap. I'd bet money that the note that rodent is holding is going to direct us right where they want us. Everything done so far is practically tailor made to rile us up and have us charge forward blindly."[/color] Now what exactly they should do with this in mind, she had no idea. What she did know was that she wasn't going to stand back inside as Kosara barged right outside to take the note from the rat. Whatever it wanted to tell them, perhaps it would be the one piece she needed to assemble a proper course of action for the rest of the night.
