Messenger Rats are a type of Rat found in the Lower City during Act Three

Involvement

One messenger rat can be found on the riverbank near the Baldur's Gate Waypoint, and three more relaying their finds to Postmaster Badger in Jaheira's Basement.

Each messenger rat will give a message related to something happening in the city.

"There's creeps in cloaks creeping around down in the sewers."
- "That's not news, I suppose. There's always creeps in cloaks down there."
"There's been killings in a holy place! Stinks of incense and blood."
- "I did not nibble at the body. No matter how much I wanted to."
"Down by the Blushing Mermaid, there's a stink of something fey. Smells of arse, too, but boss doesn't care about that."
- "Boss says this work makes us honorary... Harlots? Harpies? Sounds nice."
"I bring word of gnomes. Gnomes in the sea".
- "Mer-gnomes!"
