Exploring Snackburg (Eared's Journey #3)

We’ve been journeying with mouse merchant, Eared Grant, as he arrives at and enters Rolling Coast, with you voting on what he chooses to do - catch up on the the full story here.

Read on to vote on his next step!

When we last left Eared, he was deciding where he was going to go, now that he had arrived in Rolling Coast. Votes from all of you dictated that he enters the local friendly settlement of Snackburg next…

Eared and Kester make the sensible decision to head to the friendly hamlet of Snackburg. They navigate through the food court, around the fountain, and into the hole-in-the-wall entrance near the housing district.

“First stop,” says Eared, “we find something to drink!”

Kester agrees, and they look around for the local watering hole. Fortunately, a map of the hamlet is posted on a nearby noticeboard, making navigation a lot easier:

Spotting a description of the Oily Olive as a local bar, the pair make their way up the stairs, hoping for some much-needed refreshment.

No one seems to take much notice as they walk into the busy bar - travellers are common around here, so a pair such as Eared and Kester doesn’t create much of a stir. They see a few patrons enjoying their drinks, while the frog behind the bar eyes them carefully to see what they’re going to do.

Eared spots a job board on the wall, which sounds like it could be a good way to earn some pips - since the Packratz stole everything they have, they really are in need of income. They could also ask around to see if any has any information about the noblemouse who owns Eared money, or maybe see if anyone knows a way to get their gear back from the Packratz. Although, their first instinct of sitting down for a drink while they think about their options, might be a better option at this stage.

While they think about what to do, a suspicious-looking rat is watching the pair from a corner table. Eared sees him and instinctively feels a rush of anger, making the assumption that the rat is connected to the Packratz that attacked him earlier in the evening.
