In the land of Minia, the ground began to rumble with ominous portent. The bickering blaming of the Imp Lord and Pixie Queen were cut off by the shouted threats of one Pieranotzu, the Ravenous who carried tidings of domination and destruction!

A high-pitched scream interrupted them all as a pit opened in the Pixie schoolyard, swallowing up a young pixie girl and causing a congregation at the pit. Rhilas, a hunter, arrived on the scene with information on this Pieranotzu, a rat of unusual size he had been tracking for some time. He quickly instructed the gathered adventurers how to collapse the pits with a contraption of his own design but before they could test it, rats began pouring out!

Throughout Minia the brave adventures battled the seemingly endless hordes of rats. Felling dozens and closing pit after pit with stalwart determination. Finally, seeing his enemies gathered at the portals, Pieranotzu gathered his rats for a final strike! As the adventurers gathered to face him, Rhilas struck first blood, plunging a dagger into his exposed back.

The cowardly rat fled the portals, leaving a blood trail that the adventurers were easily able to follow. It lead them to an entrance to a warren in Minia. At Rhilas' urging, they plunged inside, eager to save the young pixie who had fallen in and destroy Pieranotzu once and for all!

The final battle saw Silvay, Ashcraft, Laetetia, Tyreon, Ziani, and Zelas arrayed against the great rat who did not stand a chance against their combined might. He quickly fell and the brave adventurers found the young pixie soon after, excited to see them and unharmed.

Though the day was saved, Rhilas warned this was unlikely the last we would hear of Pieranotzu and his black warren! Young adventurers be alert!
