The Rat King led his people through the Western Aqueduct. He boldly led from the middle.

"Faster you maggots!" Skratt called over the sound of hundreds of scurrying feet. "Unless you want whatever those things were to catch us!" Skratt had been an experienced pirate, a veteran of a hundred battles, but he'd never been so terrified as when he saw one of those creatures tear old Fish-Eye clean in two. He made sure to keep his shortsabre well in hand.

The world shook slightly, but the rats kept running along. They came to a fork in the duct. The south led to was the resort city of Kaljalla. The north led to the center of commerce on the Western Ocean, Grand Pylonites.

"Right! Pylonites!" Skratt called decisively, "Grand Pylonites! Right!" Though Skratt was unsure what awaited them there, he was sure he did not want to return to Kaljalla after the last time.

The ratfolk turn toward the right, and rush on. As they run, they see that waters of the agueduct have begun to run red with blood. The rats raced along trying to out pace the red waters.

"Faster! Faster!" Skratt called. He'd live much of his life in these tunnels, but only now did they feel more a trap than a home.

Bodies began to flow down the water, and the blood water was beginning to pick up its speed. It was rising too, towards the rat men.

The ratlings kept their pace, though Skratt started pushing his way towards the front of their pack.

All the ratlings suddenly began to scream as they saw some kind of creature moving through the blood, it had a fin, and some tentacles coming off its rear. The blood was flowing too fast for it too stop.
Skratt knew the quickest way was through the aqueducts, but there were other tunnels that went away from the aqueduct.

"Side Tunnel! Side Tunnel!" Skratt called, forcing the group to change course away from the aqueduct. He wasn't sure what lay for them there, but he was sure that he didn't want to stay near the beast in the water.

The rats slowly skitter into the side tunnel, and begin to make there way to the great city though the destroyed access tunnels. Soon they were in foul sewers and making their way higher.

As they make their way up through the dirty tunnels. They looked up ahead, and they path was being lit by a dark blue light.
