Kazimir readies a kite shield and old, longsword that he'd taken off the mantel upstairs.

In reply to Kazimir Yurick (msg # 112):

Three separate swarms of rats have been hit; not enough to disperse (that thrown knife did 1 pt of damage)

There are 5 swarms, and 6 giant rats.

The light startles them.

How much damage on the flame jet? Unlike a missile it does damage immediately.

Sorry...
12:43, Today: Sparky rolled 6 using 2d6.  Flame Jet 2 Damage.

Hetty casts an ineffective, but pretty bolt of magic...

Aldous, also still holding his lantern high in his off hand, slashes at the nearest rat target (swarm or giant rat, don't care), then dances back from the rats.

In reply to rat bastid (msg # 121):

"Hmmph. I would call a cat to deal with mice, but I just can't bear them in the sewers...stand back, everybody!"

She waves her free hand and mutters a few angry words, and suddenly a much larger brown creature appears!

[Private to GM: Create animal, Cave bear! Rolled 5 under skill.]

Encouraged, Aldous moves in and slashes again.

That is a LARGE brown creature, Aldous, not sure how big this room is...

Sparky maintains his flame jet and slashes at any near by Rats, bigger ones first.

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 124):

No giant cave bear. See ooc thread about limits to create animal.

Sorry folks, but this is getting out of hsnd, the spell needs reining in and now.

The majority of you are 75 point neonates with absolutely no direct experience with bizzare or exotic animals. Just because a book has a stat line doesn't  mean you have access to it here.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 126):

Made the roll to make that a Brown Bear, which may be a better option anyway. Assume it uses the same stats as a Black bear, and is SM 0, if the GM accepts this.

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 127):

They are slightly smaller and I will manage stats of creations.
