Roll for Folklore Ep3 - Eaten by Rats!

 

 

Hatto, an evil bishop, was hoarding food during a terrible famine. The peasants became angry, so Hatto promised to feed them, inviting them to an empty barn. Hatto ordered the barn's doors locked, then set the barn on fire and burned the peasants commenting on their cries with the words "Hear the mice squeak!" Perhaps he should have chosen his words more carefully.

Today's Roll for Folklore: The Tunguska Explosion!
