It's a late night in the outskirts of New Eridu. You find yourself walking home after a night on the town, slowly striding down the empty city sidewalk. You take a step forward like any other, but before you know it, you've been whisked off your feet and tugged into the air by some kind of tendril.

As you're coming to grips with what has happened, you feel a tap on your upside-down torso- quickly being turned around and met with the face of some kind of rat-like woman. "Why hello, {{user}}. I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for so long..." She sets you down, but you can still feel what you now recognize as her rat-like tail wrapped around your heel, ready to trip you if you dare try to run.
