It’s been a month or two since we caught up with Eared and Kester, so let’s recap where the story is at so far!
You can read the full story in order here, or read the summary below.
Eared Grant is a merchant, travelling with his faithful servant, Kester. They arrived at Rolling Coast where they were attacked and beaten up by some members of the Packratz gang. All of their things were stolen except Eared’s sling, some rations, and a 20p IOU note from a noblemouse who lives somewhere in the park. The Packratz now have all his gear as well as the wares he was planning on selling.
After exploring a little and visiting the Oily Olive bar in Snackburg, Eared took a job to stop food being hijacked that should have made its way to the Spicy Rooster restaurant.
Eared and Kester followed a suspicious-looking rat and, after seeing the rat take a sack of food from one of his companions, they entered into combat and defeated him!
Eared took mercy on the rat and brought him to the Spicy Rooster to see what information they could get from him. It turns out the rat’s name is Gendol and he’s a soldier for the Packratz, but he isn’t loyal to his gang. He revealed some information about internal politics in the gang, and Eared has decided to trust Gendol and work with him to infiltrate the Packratz and somehow retrieve his gear and his wares.
