The king's dark deal

event Bridge (Frozen Sewers) · Events (all zones)

You find yourselves in front of the king of the ratmen. With a gesture, he invites you to approach and says: "I didn't expect to have visitors who didn't come from the well... I guess you are pretty strong if you are here. Right now, I don't feel like fighting and I'm waiting for someone. Maybe we could make a deal. In exchange for the jewelry and some vitality of one of you, I'll use my corruption magic to upgrade their weapon. I'll also turn a blind eye and let you all through. What do you say? Does anyone take the deal?"
