I Smell a Rat (Adventure)

We begin in the city of Clif, a vaguely Mediterranean city facing east towards an inland seaFanon. It may be similar to TL3-4 Barcelona. Clif has many districts, but the main one of interest is Riverside, a small town in itself, which holds the keys to the only inn available this time of year, the Penny-and-Gramme Inn.
Nowadays the town's main issue is that it can barely build fast enough to house the folks moving in. The Mason's Guild (a group of earth-moving wizards and clerics) has been trying to keep up with demand, but they've been running into old ruins and structures while making way for the new sewer system.
== The Hook: The Only Room In Town ==
The good news is, the Fool's Guild is in town. Morale is high, and there are performers everywhere you look. The bad news is, the local inns are packed like clown-carriages, and there's only one place left to lay one's head--a rather dusty inn called the Penny-And-Gramme owned by one Ms Lee. Youths of town say the place is haunted. Elders say it's merely out of business. But no one's actually checked the place.
=== Ms. Lee ===
Ms. Lee is a no-nonsense individual in her mid-thirties, dressed in clean-but-practical clothing.DFRPG: I Smell A Rat, p.4 She's got money, but not a lot of time, and needs some adventurers to clear out the rats living under the old Penny-and-Gramme Inn. Yes, the one the kids say is haunted. The place isn't haunted, she says, just disused. The old proprietor, Uncle Merle, passed away, leaving the property to Ms. Lee, his literal niece.
Ms. Lee is paying a bounty of $8 per head for giant ratsEven $10 per head if you're feeling like haggling!, and will even through in a week's rooming at the Inn if they can manage to get "all" of them.
