Rat bashing day(open)
First Cycle of Aperitus, Season of Summer.
Cities in the best shape always faced issues with vermin and the disease invaribly spread by them. Piles of rubble like paxia, well they were veritable paradises for the small scuttling creatures. An endless supply of places to hide, the rotting remains of food that once sat in the houses that now served as their nests, the abundant filth that massed humanity without a proper sanitary system created, though paxia had done a decent job of retaining sanitary conditions despite the trouble.
Being the reputation minded sort he was Dimnersti saw opurtunity in this. Even with his rather basic level of druidic arcanic skills he should be able to manage to call up all the rodents and smaller creatures in the surounding area. All swarmed togethor, it would be easy for paxians, children most likely with simple sticks to just whack away putting a massive dent in the population. Pay out a silver or two for every tail gathered and he'd likely be even more popular amongst the people. It wasn't a lot, but it was a rare treat for the kids wich would make them far more bearable for a while at least.
To those ends he spent the early candlemarks of the brightening going around to the older kids within the camp and telling them if they wanted to earn some extra silvers and help the city in the process to meet him at one of the relativly clearer lots outside of the 'tent city'. They would tell others and they'd tell others, hopefully it would result in a decent crowd, as the more people, the more rats would be killed.
The word spread he went to the lot himself, gathering up what he could in the way of implements to kill the rodents with. Nothing sharp though, since it would likely be children mostly, and though he could heal small bruises and cuts, anything major though would be quite the mess.
