Rat Queen

When a character encounters the Rat's Nest, he cannot take any Objects on the space and instead fights the Rat Queen in battle. The Rat Queen cannot be evaded and Followers, Spells or Objects cannot fight in a character's place. The Rat Queen has a Strength of 3 and adds 1 to her Strength during battle for each Object on the Rat's Nest.

If a character defeats the Rat Queen, he takes one Object of his choice from the remaining Objects on the Rat's Nest and then teleports to any space in the Outer Region. If a character is defeated by the Rat Queen, he must ditch one of his Objects at random (in addition to the loss of life). If the result is a stand-off, or if the character is defeated, he moves to the Rat's Road in the City and ends his turn.
