# Dead Rats The Dead Rats are wererats with green cloaks or capes who had been working with [[The Nashers]] and giving them new weapons and armor, but in [[82_20210704 Spellscarred]], [[Cyla]] told us that they had turned on the Nashers, killing [[Arlon Bladeshaper]] himself and everyone else (except her). They are "sneaky types that walk quietly". I was calling them "Green-cloaked Backstabbers" before [[Maestro]] remembered hearing about the Dead Rats in [[88_20210821 Trying to get to Vellguard Manor]]. They are a pirate gang in [[Luskan]] who are trying to gain enough power to be "Ship", which is a pirate faction in Luskan. The Dead Rats that we saw in [[97_20211113 Arlon and his pet Bubbles]] were small, hunched humanoids with rat faces holding morningstars and wearing green cloaks. They pretended to enter an alliance with [[The Nashers]], but really, they wanted to know the other party that was helping the Nashers, and then turned on the Nashers when the Nashers said they didn't know who the other party was. ## Attack tactics - They have something like a needle or a dart that buzzes and then multiplies. It's black and yellow. When it multiplies, everyone within range must make a Constitution check, and it deals about 9 poison damage. - Multiattack: They get two attacks. - Bite: 14 physical damage
