Hearing a new voice, Kyra moves closer to get a clear sight of their target before she focuses her magic on him.

Move to AS22, then Slumber (DC 15?) on Girrigz. Hey, when all you have is a hammer...

In reply to Kyra (msg # 95):

Ayeesha grimaces with determination and swings with flat of sword at wererat#1.
(+9 to hit -4 to do non-lethal damage for +5 to hit.)

Critical Threat! Just a hit for 15 NL DMG.



10:59, Today: Ayeesha rolled 24 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 19.  Great SD to hit WR#1w/NLDMG.
11:01, Today: Ayeesha rolled 8 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 3.  Roll to confirm Critical.
11:03, Today: Ayeesha rolled 15 using 2d6+6 with rolls of 6,3.  NL DMG to WR1.

"Grizzit izzz ittt! Drop your weapon and lets talk about this!"

Figus knocks the wererat he's facing out with a double strike.

Kraw turns and sinks a blade into Girrigz just as he steps through the door...or tries to but he finds the blurry form difficult to pin down. Obviously the wererat leader had picked up some kind of magical protections.

Ayeesha steps up to support Kraw, slashing Girrigz with her blade opening up a big wound on his chest.

Girrigz responds by carving up Ayeesha with a silver-plated rapier that shines even in the dim light. Girrigz displays tremendous skill landing hit after hit, opening up numerous wounds across Ayeesha's torso and limbs.
OOC:
Attack #1: Hit for 8
Attack #2: Crit for 12
Attack #3 (bite): Miss


Round 4

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 97):


I think you need to adjust the game map but this is what She will do anyways.

"AWHH HAVE IT YOUR WAY THEN!"

Ayeesha will use free action to start rage adding 12hp and +4 STGH to get a bonus to hit of +11.

+11 on the roll for a 19, miss even with flanking.

18:35, Today: Ayeesha rolled 8 using 1d20 with rolls of 8.  Attack Girrigz+11.

Kyra curses at the ineffectiveness of her magic as she digs in her component pouch. A cloud of golden dust suddenly appears behind the big wererat, covering everything an everyone in the area.

Glitterdust at upper-right corner of AS29. Will save (DC 15).

Kraw pulls the unused potion and his hip and swallows the Vanish potion. He then tries to slip past the big wererat to AS 29, getting himself into a flanking position.

Standard: Drink Vanish potion
Move: Acrobatics to AS29.
Free: spend 1 Harrow point to gain DR 3/-.



01:48, Today: Kraw rolled 18 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 2.  Acrobatics to avoid AoO.

Calling upon his heritage Figus concentrates and summons purple light (Faerie Fire) to surround their target.

Ayeesha lets the rage flow and swings her sword but Girrigz parries and deflects the strike.

Kyra drops a blast of glittering magic onto the wererat and he lets out a surprised squeal. The rat starts blinking its eyes and looking around but it is clear its been temporarily blinded by the blast of magic.

With Girrigz unable to see, Kraw is able to slip around behind the wererat leader and Figus outlines the wererat clearly, ruining the effect of whatever blurry spell was providing it cover.

Girrigz listens carefully and despite his blindness is able to still score a hit on Ayeesha with his rapier.
OOC: Hits for 10. 2 temp HP left, 17 regular HP.


Round 5

With a flurry of twin silver daggers and his beak, Kraw makes repeated slices into the back of the huge wererat.

09:01, Today: Kraw rolled 6 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 1.  Silver Dagger damage.

08:58, Today: Kraw rolled 3 using 2d4 with rolls of 1,2.  Sneak stab damage.

Depending on whether a 15 confirms a crit or not, Kraw delivers either 34 or 39 damage.

Grig is Disoriented (Debilitating Injury). He takes a -2 penalty to all attack rolls (-4 vs Kraw). This lasts 3 rounds.

In reply to Kraw (msg # 103):

OCC:Nice Kraw.

Ayeesha sensing the Blood in the water, smiles ferally and focuses her bloodrage to ensure the Rat is crushed by the flanking attack they have unleashed on him.

"AAAAHHHHH!"

Ayeesha will  use Destined Strike w/free action for +2 on top of +2 flanking and +11 to hit while raging for +15 to hit the blind Girrigz.

Hit for 14 Damage.

12:40, Today: Ayeesha rolled 14 using 2d6+10 with rolls of 2,2.  Raging GSwd Dmg +10.

12:39, Today: Ayeesha rolled 33 using 1d20+15 with rolls of 18.  GSwd attack +15 to hit on blind Girrigz.

Seeing that her spell finally had some effect, Kyra decides to again focus on healing the party. She moves closer to the melee to help Ayeesha before the wererat can retaliate against her, assuming he is in any shape to do so now.

Move to AR26. Hitting Ayeesha with a CLW wand for:
07:23, Today: Kyra rolled 6 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 5.  CLW.

Figus moves up to help attacking the others


14:07, Today: Figus Dva rolled 5 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 2.  Damage.
14:06, Today: Figus Dva rolled 26 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 18.  Attacking the Blind with the mace.

Girrigz's magical wards help deflect some of Kraw's blades force but he still has two large blades buried up to their hilts in his side.

Ayeesha comes in from the front with a big wallup of her own.

Figus likewise connects with a blow that likely broke a bone or two.

Kyra comes up providing support for the group by healing some of Ayeesha's stab wounds.

---

The wererat next to the fire begins to stir. Has it already been that long that Kyra's slumber is wearing off?

Despite his blindness, Girrigz is still able to be dangerous with his blade. Given that Kraw had just sunk both his daggers and beak into Girrigz's back it was easy enough (relatively speaking) for the wererat to spin around and bury his blade into Kraw's side.
OOC: 6 damage

Surprisingly, the blindness doesn't clear from his eyes giving the party more time to take advantage of his crippling disability to inflict major damage on him.

OOC: Girrigz fails on a 13...nicely done Kyra...

Round 6

Figus starts thinking of getting rid off his cursed weapons.

22:26, Today: Figus Dva rolled 13,14 using d20+8,d20+8 with rolls of 5,6.  Mace, kukri with Flanking.

Kraw attacks in a frenzy of silver daggers and beak pecks.


19:26, Today: Kraw rolled 18 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 10.  TWF Dagger attack, flanking.

19:26, Today: Kraw rolled 7 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 2.  Silver Dagger damage.

19:26, Today: Kraw rolled 6 using 2d8 with rolls of 2,4.  Sneak stab damage.

19:25, Today: Kraw rolled 18 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 10.  TWF Dagger attack, flanking.

19:25, Today: Kraw rolled 4 using 1d4+2 with rolls of 2.  Silver Dagger damage.

19:25, Today: Kraw rolled 7 using 2d8 with rolls of 4,3.  Sneak stab damage.

19:24, Today: Kraw rolled 6 using 2d4 with rolls of 3,3.  Sneak stab damage.


If an 18 hits, Kraw does 24 more damage, and Grig takes a -2 AC vs the attacks of others (-4 AC vs Kraw) for 2 rounds.

In reply to Kraw (msg # 109):

Kyra again heals Ayeesha, but then pulls back, wary of the other rat that has now shaken off her magic.

Healing Ayeesha. Lotta good that did.
20:28, Today: Kyra rolled 2 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 1.  CLW.

Move to AQ23.

Fending off both Kraw and Figus leaves Girrigz open to a big monster strike from a raging Ayeesha. She cleaves the wererat in two, muscling through its supernatural resistance and getting to the creature's heart.

There is a pause for a second before the remaining wererat drops his blade and flees from the room. It seems the threat of Girrigz has finally been dealt with.

OOC: Hurray! Combat is over. Everyone level up!


Poking through the rest of the cave system the party finds a few rats here and there that are quickly dispersed or dispatched. On Girrigz himself is a set of magical chainshirt as well as a magical silver rapier along with 30gp.

In the room beyond is obviously Girrigz personal nest and the party finds a small cache of loot Girrigz had stolen away:

• 22 daggers
• 12 short swords
• 3 light crossbows
• 60 black metal bolts
• 4 chain shirts
• 12 flasks of alchemist’s fire
• a masterwork longsword
• a masterwork suit of chainmail
• 4 potions of cure moderate wounds
• a masterwork silver dagger
• an eversmoking bottle

In addition a search of the main barracks area reveals various bits and bobs the other wererats had scurried away.

• 3 smokesticks
• a tanglefoot bag
• 20 tindertwigs,
• a bent copper trumpet bearing a pennant with the city’s coat of arms worth 120 gp
• a complete set of carpenter’s masterwork artisan’s tools

With the wererat leader dead and his last minion running, Kyra gets to work on keeping the fallen wererats alive. Well, those in one piece anyway. It's all the same to Kyra, but the old woman might be upset about killing too many of them.

It would take Kyra 5 rounds to stabilize them all, starting from what she thinks is the worst case. Hopefully we won't lose any of them. Figus has a heal skill, so he could help out as well.

Now, as for the loot, we should obviously keep the healing potions and alchemist's fire in case we run into any more swarms, but Kyra does not really care about the rest. Sure, an Eversmoking bottle is an interesting item, but it's also the only really valuable time here. What are the "black metal bolts" made out of anyway? Something expensive?

Figus gives a hand in trying to keep as many lesser wererats alive as possible. Of greater concern to Figus is the bite he took from one of the wererats. At the very least he will cast a Diagnose Disease spell the next day to see if he is infected.

OOC: Figus would like the tanglefoot bag to replace the ones he used. The eversmoking bottle maybe useful and healing potions and alchemist's fire as well. The rest I am all for selling.

Kraw expresses an interest in the magic chain shirt, willing to trade up (and sell) his +1 Studded Leather. He also wants one potion to each frontline fighter, himself included.

OOC: There's a magic chain shirt? Thought the bottle was the only magical item we found.

Also, Kyra could use the MW silver dagger, but only if we are selling it otherwise. If one of you guys are taking it that's alright, it would be kinda wasted with Kyra.

OOC Girrigz had ON HIM a magic chain shirt And a magic silver rapier.And Kraw already has a +1 Silver dagger and 3 MW daggers.

In reply to Kraw (msg # 117):

Ayeesha would like the Silver Rapier +1 for now if every one passes. Piercing weapons work well under water.  She would like 3 flasks of Alchemist's fire. And we can sell the rest that no one wants so we can buy supplies for the dive.

After putting down Girrigz’s revolution, Eries Yelloweyes returns to the group to thank them for their help and to give them the information she promised them.

"As it happens, several sewer tunnels empty into the Jeggare River below the Wall of Eodred. On the night the black-sailed ship was sunk, some of my eyes were watching in secret. I can tell you that there was nothing on the ship except for the strange yellow light but once it sank, strange debris drifted from its hull. We tracked down some of the flotsam and discovered they were small boxes filled with dead rats. There were also pouches of silver coins tied to floating timbers. It was suspicious and the coins had foul air around them so my eyes kicked the debris back into the river.

I'm fairly certain the ship's sinking, the strange flotsam, and the advent of the plague are connected somehow.

In thanks for your service I can provide you with this map of the tunnels. It will take you to one of the tunnels directly next to where the ship sank. This side branch here leads to a hidden tunnel in an alchemist's shop basement. If you want I can have my eyes fetch you some potions that will let you breath underwater and deliver them at a discount. I would do it for free but my eyes still need to eat."

OOC: She will "sell" Potions of Water Breathing for 300gp each
