Re: The Dark Tower - the Village of Mitra's Fist
Those at the front make short work of the rats that plague them. Cogwitz's small blades are a blur as the Halfling thrusts and slices, his curved blade finding the rodent's vitals in an impressive and skillful display.
Tesseryn's effort, by contrast, is somewhat lacking in finesse ... but the Paladin's blow is of immense power and he effortlessly cleaves the creature in twain with but a single swing of his greatsword.
Urged on by Tesseryn, Brindle once more unleashes the power of his wand, and another four glowing balls slam into the rat pack, adding to the carnage as three fall immediately, adding to the impressive pile of dead vermin that now litter the floor.
The squealing is thus much reduced, but still does not let up as the rats fight like ... cornered rats, in fact, bravely leaping once more into the fray, even as rather a lot more of their number arrives to attack from the rear, bringing the squealing back up to its former shrillness.
Teeth snap and bite, but Cogwitz and Tesseryn's speed and solid metal coating respectively serve to deliver the pair from harm's way, while Wrukaog though slower and less heavily armoured somehow manages to avoid those yellowed incisors as well.
OOC: Map of the proceedings updated ... only four rats remain in the nest now, but a substantial number are attacking from the west, with more of them approaching, by the sound of it.
