The Story

Like most large port towns with lots of food and bad sanitation, Ghenna has a pest problem. An unusually large rat colony has taken a liking to its scenic waterways and mouldy cellars. Each day, a thousand more furry creatures scuttle through the city’s drainage pipes and sewers. Usually, this isn’t a problem the local royalty would concern itself with. However, after Queen Marissa found rats dancing in her new summer home’s bathroom, the pest problem has been swiftly declared a threat to the crown. Unfortunately, knights and city guards make for bad exterminators and not many sane men are keen to delve through Ghenna’s wild sewers. To make matters worse, the superstitious citizens declared the weirdly smart rats to be the heralds of the demonic forces supposedly living under the city. Hence, the “Reformation through Extermination” act was passed, allowing local law enforcement to pass down fines measured in rat scalps. Captured criminals were allowed to shorten their incarceration by delving into the sewers and bringing back heads or pelts. Needless to say, criminal activity in Ghenna dropped considerably. Not because more criminals were deterred by the sentence, but because most of them never returned from the city’s rat-infested bowels.

In this 1 – 3-hour introductory adventure, a party of 1st level characters are sentenced to reformation through extermination. The task is not only disgusting and arduous, it soon turns deadly. Can they collect enough rat pelts before becoming rat food? Is there a way to stop the infestation altogether? Can they survive being “On Her Majesty’s Pest Control Service?

Given that you can reduce your criminal sentence with the "Reformation through Extermination Act" they could be called the Sewercide squad

Really liked the story, pretty much perfect for introducing two new players to DnD. Would have liked just a little more advice on how to roleplay Locke and Glenn though:)

First time DM and chose this story. Worked out great. Added a few surprises but kept to the story overall. Had to add a few "helpers" at the end as the final boss was not strong enough to give the group of 4 a run for their money. They enjoyed the story and the puzzles.

Great for beginners - played it in a group of four, where three were beginners.
Map size and game length can be adjusted - had to shorten it at the end, as the group spent too much time on "side quest" and didn't go to the actual catacombs to find the rats.
However:
Great fun would recommend!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
