Figuring she couldn't find the creature on her own in the tall brush, Shalin summoned her rat steed not for riding, but for tracking. She instructed it to follow the trail that she took here--it was probably hiding in the tall grass where she couldn't see it.

The grass wasn't especially tall, more overgrown than anything else. None-the-less the rat steed was able to follow the snake tracks quite easily, nose dug into the barely visible groove left in the more manicured grass. Shalin was led towards the south side of the park.
Shalin followed her unusual companion, tensing up a bit when she could tell her animal was onto something. She kept her eyes open for visual signs of her quarry, though she would most likely have to rely on her companion to find it in the first place.

Shalin kept one eye on her unusual creature and the other on the bar. How populated was it? If it was populated, she would ask the locals there about the serpent, mainly for details on how recently it passed by.

The bar seemed to be doing a decent enough trade considering the time of day, a few people milled about inside at one of its two tables and a couple sat at the bar. Shalin's oversized rodent veered off towards an alley by the side of the establishment.
Thankfully the man seemed to lose interest after Shalin left the bar. In the alley she found her rodent friend sniffing around the barrels, which seemed to her eye to be empty ale kegs. The were no obvious signs of serpent trails, but the ground was much harder in the alley than it had been in the park.
Shalin had relatively little trouble moving the empty kegs, but she made an awful lot of of noise doing so. Underneath where they had been stacked was a cellar door, as she had suspected. The boards of the door seemed to be further apart than they should be.
The curious Shalin, noticing how far apart the boards were, tried to open the two boards and take a look down the trap door. Everything about this place seemed to be more interesting by the second.

It was hard to tell where the door led except that there was a set of stairs descending in the direction of the bar. The gap between the board of the door was large enough for a large snake to fit through, but not a massive one.
The stairs led down into a dark, damp room that smelled like onions and stale beer. The rat seemed to be unable to smell anything through the stench and took up most of the staircase as they descended. As far as Shalin could tell, the room seemed to be ten feet across and fifteen long, but its contents were hard to see as little light filtered in through the staircase.
Shalin took out a small lantern and lit it to get a better idea of what was hiding down here. She got the feeling something was hiding down here, what with the trail her companion was following.

What transpired in the corner of the room involved the exposure of parts best left to the imagination.

Shalin found her giant rat sniffing around near a stack of barrels at the end of the alley.
