The farm was ok looking, or, at least, that was the joined opinion of the three. It had a farmhouse, with a barn and a big garden up front will all kinds of vegetables. But the vegetables were all chewed up. And the missing chunks were big. Bigger than what a normal rat could do.
"We could do a ritual. To force the rats back into the forest," Morris suggested. If they killed each rat, it would take them more than the day they had left.
"Sure. I will need a barrier stone, though," Leander said, and he looked around for any mana rich rocks. He felt a slight pulse from a pile of rocks by the barn and went to inspect it.
The topmost rock was rich in mana. And so were the others.
"Illegal mana stone mining?" Leander asked the other two. If the farm was a sanctioned mining spot, it would have been written that it was so in the quest detail.
