Minor change, but found some pathing info on the rat that is in the tunnel by Master Yael. Currently on P99 he just stays in that tunnel, has a few pause points but doesn't go up too far.
In summary, he should basically go from the tunnel area by Yael and go all the way up in the city. I realize this post is May 2003, but it is pre-revamp. If I had to recall on my memory (being a Hole junky on live Velious up through Luclin) I would think he pathed into what I call 'Golem Tower'. I seem to remember that area wasn't completely safe, my Brell dragger had to stay hidden, and it wasn't from the imps upstairs, but I thought there was a rat and occassional ghost in there. I seem to remember a rat in the room behind Retseth Trestse that I mention in the beginning of the OP from prior bug link.
In any event, here is the evidence:

Excellent guide you posted, Milesgloriosus. Thank you. I dropped a level 14 dwarven cleric of Brell in with divine aura. Yael wasn't up, so I can't verify that he won't agro. However, none of the elementals, golems or fiends attacked me. Some were dubious and some were scowling, but none attacked. However I did run into a problem once I left Yael's area and headed up the slope towards the safe ledge. There was a ratman patrolling the passageway and he attacked and killed the cleric. So, I switched to the Brell rogue and used sneak/hide to watch the ratman's path to see if there would be an opportunity for me to sneak the cleric by.
The ratman would come down the tunnel toward Yael's area, but would stop at the last bend in the tunnel (approx location +650, +650) and then would turn and head back up towards the safe ledge. Once he gets near the safe ledge area, he takes a right and heads up toward Jaeil the Wretched. He passes Jaeil and even goes up into the city.
I stopped following him at that point, as I realized his path would give me plenty of time to get the cleric into place on the ledge.
Logged back on the cleric and dropped him in again with divine aura. The ratman had made his way back down the tunnel towards Yael, so I waited for him to turn around and head back up. It's important to keep a good bit of distance between your cleric and the ratman, as he has a pretty large agro range. Once the ratman took the right turn and headed up towards Jaeil, I undead invised the cleric and made it to the safe ledge.
