Rats, Rats Everywhere!

Rats, Rats Everywhere! is a treasure hunt that can occur when searching ruins in Total War: Warhammer II. It can occur in Eye of the Vortex.

Deep within the ruins of a recently destroyed city, you send a scouting party to investigate a nearby tunnel entrance. While waiting for them to return you suddenly find that your camp is completely surrounded by Skaven. What a surprise? They demand payment for your safe passage.

Say you work for the Horned Rat
Confused, impressed or afraid... you're not sure which; Skaven expressions are so hard to read. Either way, your ruse works: the Skaven eventually offer you tribute before quickly departing.

 * Non-skaven: searching character is wounded.
 * Mortal Empires: searching character is wounded even if it's Skaven
