Paddock says, "The little ones were only the start. There's a secret passage out of my cellar into caves under the hills, and they're full of rat soldiers, big as dogs and twice as mean, with something leading them. A king, if you can believe it. This is a real fight, mind: don't go down there until you can take a few bites. Kill fifteen of the soldiers, then find their king."
