Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. He's found a stupid-looking kid who plays a pipe, and he has his very own plague of rats -- rats who are strangely educated, so Maurice can no longer think of them as "lunch". And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers...

"A clever cat, but still... Just a cat. Nothing but a cat. All the way to the forest and the cave, the fang and the claw... Just a cat. And you can always trust a cat to be a cat.", indeed. Cue CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* DoNotGoGentle / DontFearTheReaper: Darktan manages to combine both of these tropes in his RousingSpeech to the rats: death in itself is not something to be feared, but the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Bone Rat]] will only pass you over if you can look him in the eyes. Given that it's the Disc, he's likely not speaking figuratively.
