Ah! The country village in question is below-decks on the great skybridge. It will be dark, dank, and smell very much of farming and fertilizer and rot, I should think -- though the Herethroy who live there too will make it pleasant enough for themselves, I imagine, so it is not an utter pit of hell. Still, Herethroy generally find farming smells comforting, and mammals (and lizards!) probably find them overly rustic.

Well...

Ah, but it's countryfolk who like rustic smells and cityfolk who like urban smells. I'm a mammal; to me, rustic smells are agreeable and urban smells are repulsive. Since your miscreants are cityfolk based on your descriptions of them, the locale will probably be perceived as punishment.

I hope that they have that accurate perception.

Indeed, I hope they complain about it at length to the Herethroy, and thereby make enemies of them rather than friends.

As opposed to, say, cunningly tracking down the nearest both-female and making an ally.
