From: Track down a rat of exceptional size and cunning


Estimates of its size vary. 'The size of a barrel.' 'The size of a donkey.' 'Big as a spider-council!' (A what?) But they all agree it's big. It can't be hard to spot.

Success

You're sure you got it!

A trail of blood mingles with the sticky mud of the Stolen River's shores. You must have hurt it. But it's made off into the night.
