Bestiary

Black Spiral Dancers regularly look for hints that one of the Ratkin holds Wyrmish sympathies, as do Mad Destroyers who have already embraced the Wyrm. If an agent of the Wyrm encounters a wererat pack that seem like they could be possible recruits, he attempts to befriend them and aids the pack in their attacks on the Weaver. Some Black Spiral Dancers also arrange ambushes or other threats and then “rescue” the wererats from the supposed danger.

The agent of the Wyrm spurs the potential recruits to increasingly more violent attacks on targets associated with the Weaver, preferably attacks that cause a maximum of death and suffering or that release various persistent and deadly toxins. Some of the most violent Ratkin gladly accept a gift of nerve gas — produced by one of Magadon’s many subsidiaries — and use it to kill people in sealed office buildings or subway tunnels, not considering the lasting corruption that results. The tempter then congratulates them on their efforts and tries to make them proud of the death and suffering they have caused. Some packs recoil in horror at such treatment, but others grow bolder and increasingly violent.
