More Annotated Entries: Tiny Folk: Darini Ratslayer


When you’re only 6 inches tall, lots of creatures want to kill you and eat you. Snakes, cats, dogs, rats, spiders, weasels…the list is long. That’s why Darini and her Predator Scouts are there to kill or drive away these hungry creatures first. (Many of those creatures now recognize Predator Scout uniforms and leave the area if they see them.)

The Scouts use swords, bows & poisoned arrows, traps…whatever will get the job done. For rats, they usually set out poison, but sometimes they have to get up close and personal. Dogs and cats can be kept away by certain foul smelling concoctions, but snakes and spiders usually need killing. (Note: It has to be REALLY fouls smelling to keep dogs away.) The worst, most dangerous, creature is the weasel. Weasels are terribly fast, very tough and bloodthirsty as hell. Fortunately, weasels are also pretty rare. (And even rarer once the Scouts get done with them.)

Sometimes the Scouts have to drive away people like Giant Folk, usually hikers or hunters. They do this by using things like skunk musk, fake rattlesnake sounds and the ever popular “Bigfoot howl”. That last one has the unfortunate side effect of eventually attracting Bigfoot hunters, but Darini and her crew have learned that they can be lured away by a few cleverly crafted “Bigfoot footprints”. (Made using carved wood and the help of friendly bears.)

Darini is a muscular woman with red hair and blue eyes. (She is considered quite good looking.) She has many tattoos and usually wears chain mail armor. (The armor is made by Shomin Metalbender.) Her favorite weapon is a two handed sword. Predator Scout legend says that she once singlehandedly killed 10 rats in one day. (It was actually 13, but Darini does not brag.)
