Bonk sent the following report to TMN:

"An interesting invasion took place yesterday, shortly after two court case proceedings. Arriving seemingly from all directions, hundreds if not thousands of rats, ratticus, and even Mother of Ratticus swarmed town center, east of town, west of town, and various buildings including the town bakery shop and Bucarus' hut in east town. With only about 20 exiles in and around town, many were felled in a desperate battle to reach safety. Over time, those studying in the various libraries came out to help fight the invasion and assist the fallen.

"Strange things were witnessed by many; invisible creatures which, when attacked, sounded like hooded corpses. There was also a ratticus which behaved in an ethereal fashion: it could not be hit, and you could walk right through it. However, it was clearly attacking people in the town center. Shakyamuni also experienced a 'Porting' in east town, but I missed the relevant explanation at the time. He sunstoned that he was experiencing a 'rapid blinking' issue, and wondered if he too was invisible. From start to finish, the invasion took about 52 minutes to clean up, and ratticus were found in all sorts of buildings, farms, and the like. Perhaps others present can fill in more details in the comments below."
