Er anyway, I did make another point but the forum is having a bad hair day, which is that I wanted to return to Braccus Rat to tell it about my exciting adventures (a.k.a "exo'ick places I have been pwned") and was disappointed that I was unable to do so. It's probably still waiting in anticipation of my ripping yarns.
See? Not even the rats get a happy ending. One of them gets cured of their truthfulness and the other gets executed (I presume that is its only ending as it's scripted). One rat never gets to hear the stories, another on the ship gets blown up. One dog is left temporarily incapacitated from too much source, another has to come to terms with being abandoned once its owner dies. Another is tortured by the beggar, and Hannag wont stop poking animals with sharp sticks.
