<P>I believe that there is a contagion spreading in the darker corners of our city. While investigating complaints of missing animals I have discovered packs of rats that use advanced tactics and more disturbingly seem to be capable of using magic. They never attack singly, are capable of more potent magics and seem to be able to sacrifice their number to fuel their arcane energies. I found that they were responisble for the missing animals, mostly felines, and I had believed I had tracked them to their lair. With a civilian volunteer I raided the lair and exterminated what I believed to be the main body of the rats. I have enclosed the remains of one of the creatures as well as the unnatural fluids that leaked from the largest of the fallen. Since then I have come to believe that there are many more. It is likely that they possess some malign intelligence and
have evil intentions on the city. I do not believe they are connected with the floating mass above the city. Allthough the timing is very suspicious. Their activity also seems to coincide with the lunar phases. I believe that they are toying with me now, revealing themselves then retreating out of sight before I can investigate. I have made the attempt to sleep as little as possible so that I am not caught unawares. Until this report is processed, I am the only member of the Guard who knows of this. I believe that they may be out to get me. I will remain vigilant in the service of the Crown</P>
