The Rat Ghetto is a Sunless Sea Pigmote Isle Story Event.

Trigger conditions[ | ]

The Rat Ghetto is triggered by choosing the Visit the Rat Ghetto action in The Rise Of Pigmote Isle.

Event description[ | ]

"The Cavies have forced their rivals into the swamps, and hold them there with a high spiked wall. Thick black mud squelches underfoot as you pass through the guarded gates. Hungry eyes watch your approach."


Interactions[ | ]

Actions Requirements Effects Notes
Smuggle fuel into the ghetto

The rats huddle for heat, clinging tight to scraps of stolen blankets.

A sly delivery

A small bribe to a small guard gets the delivery through the gates. The rats scrape together what little they can to repay your kindness.

Game note: Success will improve Pigmote Isle's Spirit


If you assume the price of fuel at 10, this is almost always profitable.

Rare Event (15% chance)
Requisitioned

Smirking Cavy guards accept your bribe, only to confiscate the fuel for King Gracegnaw's new throne room. The rats whine quietly, and entwine their tails to trap what little warmth they can.

Attempt to broker a union

Cavia will be stronger if its two houses work together.

Failed event Game note: Success will boost Spirit, failure will reduce it
Houses divided

The rats are too angry to talk peace, the Cavies simply unwilling. If the two sides are ever come together as one, it will not be today.

Successful event
Hail, Cavia!

Getting an audience with King Gracegnaw takes careful diplomacy and generous bribes. You lead a small group: Chief Engineer Edgar, some of the more presentable rats, and a few brave Cavies willing to speak for their defeated enemies. The King reluctantly agrees to allowing the rats back into Cavia Town, if only for the moment.

Assist the rodent revolution

"Outsider, grant us your strength. When our enemies lie humiliated, we will give you the Rat Star."

A sneak attack

You lead a carefully chosen pack of rats through the Chickenwoods. The bigger ones wield weapons provided by the quartermaster, the smaller ones use their teeth to savage the throats of any Cavy guards in your path. The Rat Star is soon won, and as agreed, yours. In return, the rats keep your guns to continue their fight. Your part in this is done. But it is unlikely that you will be welcome back here any time soon.

Game note: This guarantees you the Rat Star, but will cost 5 Iron


... and it will also banish you from Pigmote Isle
