In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 213):

Adolus' rat, which was near death, expires messily.

Sparky crisps one swarm

Thorg has a rat on a stick, which flies dead off the spear on the back swing.

He is surrounded by normal size rats that bite at his feet- he takes 5 points cutting befir the DR of his boots!

You mentioned Porter then a spear.  I'm using a sword.  Did you mean Thorg?

"Ha!"  Aldous lifts his foot for a stamp at a normal size rat, then remembers he's barefoot and converts the motion into low slash, knuckles brushing the floor as his knife sweeps through the rats.

Fisher might look as the picture of an unhappy fellow.  His mouth is framed in a snarl, his teeth are gritted and gnashing and his eyes are narrow and beady.  But in truth the man couldn't be more pleased.  He is gainfully employed, working with professionals and the lighting situation has been solved.  The payday is solidly in his future.  Now the man simply swings his keen blade back and forth to exterminate the vermin.




[Private to GM:
Retreating Defense.  Swing attack.  Position myself back to back with someone to protect my flank while still allowing room to Retreat.

14:25, Today: Fisher 'Porter' Black rolled 8 using 3d6.  Swing.

14:26, Today: Fisher 'Porter' Black rolled 7 using 3d6.  Retreat Block.

14:26, Today: Fisher 'Porter' Black rolled 6 using 1d6.  Swing damage.
Damage for me is 1d+3.  Cutting.

With a mighty swing, Porter is able to cleave through the rats that are charging him, enough to scatter the swarm.

There renain three more giant rats just visible outbogf the light, and probably four or five more 1 yard hexes of normal rats, all outside the circle of light. The shadiws cast by the four of you and the numerous rat bodies are starting to reduce the ground level light, and some of the rats are advancing.

Move to the stairs.  Cover the retreat using my shield.  Attack anything that gets in range.

"Come on, then, Thorg, you're last man out."

There are a large number of them and they felt cornered and attacked us, it will take several foray's like the last to clear them all, assuming no more come in.

”Ya, nice work.”, Black says as he looks around at his new band of brothers.  ”A couple more of those and we should clean up the cellar.”

Stand guard near the door in case it needs to be opened quickly.

"What I don't get is where the big ones are getting into the cellar.  Hey, Sven, did the previous owners mention anything about an access to the tunnels?"
