The continued adventures of not Vikings

[Dekaru]

Like something out of a fairy tale the rats scamper forth down the tunnel and try to sniff out any signs of traps. Upon getting closer to the pile of valuables of the the rats suddenly feels a pain in one of its paws and (after Thistle is suddenly forced from its mind) dies a quick but painful death as it suddenly begins violently convulsing on the ground. Working through the fatigue, Thistle reconnects with the other rats and realizes the dead one had stepped on a slightly exposed metal spike. Some quick digging reveals that the spike is around three inches long and is coated in some kind of poison. Presumably there are other nails waiting for heavier unsuspecting individuals to step on around the treasure.
