Stamp on the rat. It's probably lying anyway. And hell, who wants a rat as a Companion?

Kal stamped. Hard. In fact, extremely hard, he'd been having what could only be politley described as a rather trying day. Unfortunately he'd picked the wrong rat to take his frustrations out on.

As his foot descended at rat-bone breaking speed and force, the little piebald rat with the remarkable (even bearing in mind it's unfortunate prediliction for mangling the language) ability to speak, twisted aside, caught the adventurer round the ankle and tripped him full length on the floor.

Pickle stifled a giggle up his voluminous sleeve, whilst Falcon's slab-like forehead crumpled with the effort of thought. Kal meanwhile let rip with the most vile oath in his collection. The rat went for his throat, and paused with his teeth at Kal's jugular.

"Trufce?" The rat asked.

"By the malicious, malingering maccaroon moons of Brakaskagon!" Kal swore again. "Alright, alright, you mangy rat. You win. What do you want?"

"Takfe me wif you, my name's Gerald."

Give up, the rat can't be too much of a pain in the neck surely (no pun intended)

Have another go, maybe Falcon will work out that he needs to fight the rat off

"the only thing i have to say that's bad about this story is that for most of the way there's only one path to pick, so that's why i have put in an extra one on the start and another one later on, because currently it's not pick-a-path, its decide to go this way or no way, or write a way, so that's why I'm encouraging all of you to write on different options, not just the same story the whole way through, make it so you can PICK out of a choice of paths, so please, write on different ones than everybody else, that's my rant over"

"I absolutely lovelovelove this story.

Actually, if anyone should walk up to me today and ask, "Do you know what the most wonderful and hilarious adventure tale in the entire world is?" I would smile and easily reply: "Yes, in fact, I do. It's called Questworld.""

"Kal is probably the most bitter and twisted character I've ever created. Let's see how long it takes him to do something really unpleasant to his companions."

"Thanks for the comment Jillian, and not at all any advice is good advice in my book.

I'll put my hands up and say my biggest downfall is my grammar and I know my sentences have a tendency to run on. I'll do my best to remember where the commas should go and see if it works.

Anyway, thanks again =)"
