Whereas the other wererats went down pretty quickly, this one has proven to be a skilled and nimble fighter able to fend off three attackers at the same time. His confidence starts to grow as he slips his blade past Figus' defenses again.

"Why are you still fighting! Run surface walkers! Flee before I kill you all!"

OOC: 5 damage to Figus, so net 2 healed

Ayeesha swung again, a little more carefully this time. Then she stepped aside to let Kraw get a shot.

---

Bah, thought he was already wounded before I looked. Should have power attacked! sorry... Least it took a piece off of him, hopefully if I step down to AS20 gives Kraw and Figus a chance to finish him off.

Hit AC 24 for 12

22:55, Today: Ayeesha rolled 12 using 2d6+7 with rolls of 1,4.  damage.

22:54, Today: Ayeesha rolled 24 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 15.  attack wererat come on!!!

Kyra shakes her head at the stubborn wererat as she once more heals Figus. "Stupid. Just how long do you think you can keep this up?"

Again healing Figus.
10:27, Today: Kyra rolled 3 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 2.  CLW.

I am only prolonging this because he obviously needs the practice.

11:00, Today: Figus Dva rolled 8,11 using d20+6,d20+6 with rolls of 2,5.  Mace, kukri.

Kraw tries to find a way to flip over the foe's head to occupy the space behind him. Failing that, Kraw jabs him with his enchanted silver dagger.


08:39, Today: Kraw rolled 20 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 4.  Acrobatics to avoid AoO.

08:40, Today: Kraw rolled 18 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 10.  Silver dagger attack.

08:40, Today: Kraw rolled 7 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 2.  Silver Dagger damage.

Ayeesha clobbers the wererat and Kraw sinks a blade into his side and the wererat finally falls unconscious to the floor.

Remembering the old woman's request, Kyra digs in her pouch for a healing kit and sees if she can stop the wererats from bleeding out.

"They'll live, I think. Assuming nothing eats them while they are out."

If it came to down to it, I'd use a wand charge or two as well to buy more time, but I don't think that will be necessary. Making rolls, starting with the wererat we took down (#1) earlier, and then this one (#3):

17:15, Today: Kyra rolled 21 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 15.  First Aid.
17:15, Today: Kyra rolled 22 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 16.  First Aid.

Looks like it worked? Mostly anyway, wererat #2 is already very, very dead.

With that done, Kyra turns her attention to the party and starts healing their wounds as quickly as she can.

I'll start hitting people with the wand until they are reasonably healthy, starting with the character with the lowest hp, then moving on up.

Figus: He has 13/34 hp, so the first 4 rolls go to him to bring him to full health.
Ayeesha: Has 15/37 hp, so the next 5 rolls bring her to full health as well.
Kraw: Has 24/32 hp, so the last roll heals him completely as well.

21:46, Today: Kyra rolled 4,5,6 using 1d8+1,1d8+1,1d8+1 with rolls of 3,4,5.  CLW, CLW, CLW.
21:46, Today: Kyra rolled 9,3,3 using 1d8+1,1d8+1,1d8+1 with rolls of 8,2,2.  CLW, CLW, CLW.
21:47, Today: Kyra rolled 8,4,5 using 1d8+1,1d8+1,1d8+1 with rolls of 7,3,4.  CLW, CLW, CLW.
21:49, Today: Kyra rolled 9 using 1d8+1 with rolls of 8.  CLW.

That's 10 charges, plus 1 used in the last round, so I'm down to 18 charges remaining. Let's hope we don't run into any more swarms.

The rats had swarmed through large cracks in the wall but unless the party could alter their size there is only one passage for them to go through. Surprisingly given the amount of noise that had been made, the four wererats in the next room are not aware anything is wrong. Instead their attention is focused to a form of "entertainment" where a dire rat has been caged in with a stray cat and the two are hissing and fighting. The sound of the cat crying in pain from a deep cut was enough to drown out the sounds of combat.

Kraw retrieves his thrown daggers and waits for the others. He pulls out a Vanish potion and readies it for use.

Kyra steps behind the cover of a tunnel wall and digs in her component pouch, ready to cast a spell the moment the rest of the team makes their move.

Step to AU20, ready to cast Web at upper-right corner of AR27 when the rest of the party engages. Careful where you step guys, it's going to get sticky out there.

Kraw quietly positions himself on the slim ledge bracketing the water flowing into the next room. Turning invisible would be a wasted effort if he splashed loudly enough through the brackish water to alert the wererats.

Kraw pre-positions himself in AU20. As their backs are turned, a Vanish potion would be a wasted resource at this point. Kraw nimbly launches himself into the fight, stepping side-to-side along the rough passage and avoiding any splashing to alert the wererats. Ending his move in AU24, he cuts once with his enchanted silver dagger, hoping to bring one down (in AU25).


08:48, Today: Kraw rolled 24 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 8.  Acrobatics .

08:48, Today: Kraw rolled 20 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 7.  Stealth .

08:48, Today: Kraw rolled 24 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 16.  Silver dagger attack.

08:47, Today: Kraw rolled 7 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 2.  Silver Dagger damage.

08:47, Today: Kraw rolled 10 using 2d8 with rolls of 2,8.  Sneak stab damage.

Wererat is now Disoriented for 1 round. His AC is lowered by 2 (lowered by 4 vs Kraw).

Kraw appears and skewers a wererat with his blade and Ayeesha comes in and knocks him unconscious.

Figus tries to follow suit but he fails to connect.

Kyra drops a web, entangling two wererat completely however the webbing latches onto the campfire and immediately lights on fire. The trapped wererats struggle as they see the fire climbing up the webbing.

The wererats are caught by surprise. Two struggle with the webbing while the third arms itself and quickly escapes from the flaming web.


Round 1

Figus attacked the webbed wererat in front of him with both of his silvered weapons.

10:23, Today: Figus Dva rolled 4 using 1d4+3 with rolls of 1.  Kukri damage.
10:21, Today: Figus Dva rolled 9,15 using d20+6,d20+6 with rolls of 3,9.  Mace, kukri.

Kraw leaps over and past the untrapped wererat, landing in AU26. From his almost-flanking position he stabs at the wererat in AU25.


07:33, Today: Kraw rolled 29 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 13.  Acrobatics to avoid AoO.

07:33, Today: Kraw rolled 10 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 2.  Silver dagger attack.

07:33, Today: Kraw rolled 8 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 3.  Silver Dagger damage.

Heh. In position, but that's a miss...

Kyra moves to get a better view of the situation, focusing her magic on the wererat still outside of the webs.

Move to AS20, Slumber on wererat AU25.

Figus swings his weapons and engages with a webbed wererat.

Kraw flips over the free wererat but fails to land a strike with his dagger.

Kyra's hex finally takes hold and Wererat #4 slumps over and falls asleep.

With her main target out of action Ayeesha shifts to attacking the webbed wererat, hitting him hard with her greatsword, knocking him out with a single strike.
OOC: Crit! Even with the DR that is a 1-hit KO.

The remaining wererat struggles against the webbing which is now fully on fire. The wererat screams as its fur starts catching.

Round 2

With only one wererat still standing, Kyra dismisses her spell with a gesture of her hand, so that her companions can reach the last opponent safely.

Dismissing Web. I'm guessing that also takes out the fire as well, as webs disappear?

Figus moves to engage the remaining wererat and strikes with his weapons, connecting solidly with his mace. The damage is not enough to disable the wererat, but it should set it up for a sneak attack from Kraw.

16:40, Today: Figus Dva rolled 10 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 7.  Mace damage.
16:39, Today: Figus Dva rolled 24,8 using d20+6,d20+6 with rolls of 18,2.  Mace, kukri.

Kraw moves to position himself opposite Figus and flank the wererat. His enchanted silver dagger stabs the rodent-man painfully.



14:47, Today: Kraw rolled 35 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 19.  Acrobatics .

14:47, Today: Kraw rolled 15 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 5.  Dagger attack, flanking.

14:46, Today: Kraw rolled 7 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 2.  Dagger damage.

14:46, Today: Kraw rolled 3 using 2d8 with rolls of 1,2.  Sneak stab damage.

Kyra dissolves the webbing back into magical essence and the fire, now without fuel, disappears almost instantly as well.

Figus smacks the wererat with his mace.

The wererat defends itself against Kraw's sneak attack and Ayeesha's wild strike, responding with a pair of strikes of its own that Ayeesha carefully counters.

Round 3

A large wererat pokes its head out of the tunnel near Kraw and snarls as it sees his den under attack.

"Surface walkers!? You'll pay for all the crimes you've committed against my people! You shall rue the day you raised your blade against Girrigz, the mightiest wererat this city has ever seen!"

Figus finally hits his stride and manages to connect with both of his weapons.

OOC: Should have added +2 for flanking with Kraw for the original attacks. All damage is silver.

11:22, Today: Figus Dva rolled 2 using 1d4+1 with rolls of 1.  crit damage.
