You come to a village. It's fields are crawling with Rats. You walk to the center of the town and come across a large crowd of distraught villagers. The villagers look around at you. One of them steps forward. 'We have been overrun by Rats! A Ratcatcher came to the village but we knew he trained these beasts. We confronted him after killing as many rats as we could and he flew into a rage at being discovered! He left and the rats went with him. We thought it was over.'

You ask them to go on. 'While we were in the fields, the Ratcatcher returned. Using a magical flute, he hypnotized our young children and summoned his rats. He took the children through a portal in the north of the town. When we tried to follow, his rats attacked us in a huge swarm. We were driven off. What can we do?' You smile and offer to clear the rats out, free of charge and rescue their children. 'You'd do that? We'd be in your debt forever!'

You return to the Villagers. 'Have you been able to kill the rats?' 'The rats are dead. How did you say the children had been hypnotised?' you ask. The village spokesman says 'He used some kind of flute. The music worked on the children but not on us.' You think on this and say 'I may have an idea on how to deal with this.' You pull out a sheet of parchment and some charcoal. You start scribbling out ideas and the plan takes form. You roll up the parchment and turn to the villagers. 'I know what I'll do. Wait for me to return with your children.' You turn and head to the portal. You receive 'Recipe of Discordant Violin'.

You find the children stood in the center of the cavern. They are all entranced. You hear the music all around. 'And just who are you and why are you in my lair?' You turn at the voice. The Ratcatcher is stood leaning against the wall. 'I have come to free these children from your influence and return them to their parents.' The Ratcatcher grins. 'Ha! And how will you do that? They only obey me!' You pull out your Discordant Violin and the Ratcatchers grin falters. 'What are you doin'?' You play the Discordant Violin and the racket you make is so loud and horrible that it overpowers the flute music. The spell is shattered. You call to the children telling them to back off as the Ratcatcher charges you. You knock him back with a swing of the violin, breaking it. Time to finish this! You receive 'Broken Violin'.
