+Do you want to lean hard into he idea of rats as reskinned dwarves?
 Be live in subway sytem under new york,  maybe in utopian version of world  this wasn't being used due to other forms of transportation or whatever
+HQ some sort of like... entrance to subway system for traincars (to fit elephant in)
+Whatever other organisation they're currently fighting against should be actively tunnelling into the rat folk city. the rats should not notice this, but maybe passive hearing checks for tunneling noises. since the routes are also actively unneling things to expand their city, maybe these noises can be heard in many different places and using this way to figure out the plot would involve hearing noises in an are that you shouldn't. this may be too esoteric of away to figure it out, but it is only one of many.
+Hennecheese (Hennessy and cheese) a popular combination
+Henny is pre-war, but a storeroom fucking PACKED with henny would slap so hard
+pre-war rats were constantly fighting off attempts to clear them out of depths of subway system (Vietcong rats?)

 Wanted these tobe imperfect muants, if they are  prewar this works out but means they wil have hundreds of years of history
+ maybe that is just the usual kind of shone from mainstream society and pushed underground, not much else to do down there and develop a more solid identity separated from humans, utopian pre vor society would likely be very focused on progress and the future and identity of rats developed as a rejction of that.  hedonism as a read action to utopia wit only make sense if asceticsm was a thing, but it also kind of develops naturally from focusing hard on the here and now

-hedonistic, mostly to stack paper
+hedonistic, mostly to stack paper?
+ I don't like the mostly to stock paper idea s much now. Rats should probably be hedonistic and very energtic slash fund for gameplay purposes, but have it as more of a means to an end. only problem then is fitting that in with the poison maker prophets
+ they can be superstiious and into mystical shit without needing a entire belief system behind it

 why would they join? what kind of person would shun mainstream society for these rat dudes?
 they respect physical strength to an extent (they need to work around attacking foes that have it and they know its power)
  buff skavens too that go against this? can be the guard for the higher up leader types that dont engage in direct combat much
 if they have same ideology (beliefs) as other skavens might be harder to (get them to accept position as) guard?
-we have experiment results as skaven already, buff were a mutation that muscle;ar but less iq or whatever but kept around by corp since still useful if guided right way (holy fucking shit, was i really this incoherent when i wasnt eating enough?)

 but also craftiness, underhanded tactics etc (probably within bounds, you need to trust factions somewhat)
 POISONS
 grow whatever herbs for poisons in underground getters
 make this jank as shit (plastic bins, bulk dirt, scavenged grow light)
 toilet water for grow (Budz House)
 and of course they grow weed (puffherb)
 SIDEQUEST: the weed they grow fucking sucks and the party needs to figure out how to make it dank
 if Jeff uses his super smell on the weed, he gets a detailed readout (range for THC/CBD percentage and specific terps that shine through) that tells him it’s garbage
 slang
 puffherb (weed)
 comedy option: poudy
 gnashed (good)

 fighting against them in random encounters etc...
     more frequent near their territory yes, but maybe more likely to surprise too? they'd presumably know the area pretty well
 and have tunnels, ambush places, overlooks, etc around
 give players a chance to get this knowledge of the territory if they observe (or even dont piss of gang and get it in advance)
 stats maybe obvious (dodge, melee, some like dirty trick type things)
 will act intelligently
 if JD goes all out it might just be horrid? skaven like rats way smaller than elephant
-but we can retcon biology a bit and have them poison him or some shit (it's less effective and doesnt outright kill without a shitload, but means a sort of run and kite works pretty well)
