"Rats!" Toddy exclaims.
"Sorry but that is usually how it works. You..." Marshan starts to reply looking over at his eidolon.
"No! I mean RATS! Look out! Get them off me!" Toddy says as a swarm of small beady red-eyed rats move like a wave of fur through the opening door, engulfing both him and Marshan.
Gregori is taken a little off guard. "Rats?! I hate rats!" But soon steps in to help. His sword starts to cut might swathes through the rats and he growls with a savage glee, until he sees the swarm is not yet dissipating.
Firvinianna begins singing a song of inspiration and moves as far from the little beasts as possible and still be close. She thinks of something and stops singing, yet the song lingers in the air. "After you guys attack, back away and I will try to zap if it is still alive."
Firvinianna points a finger to send an arc of lightning across the distance to try and finish off the swarm. Her bolt crackles right in the center of the mass of rats but to little effect even killing a dozen or more does not stop all of them. "Pesky things are hard to kill apparently."
Halál had also stepped forward trying to help but ends up drawing the swarm's attention instead. They start to claw and bite at the tengu as Marshan moves away.
"Awk! Off me, rongy ember! Back in your hole!" Halál flails about ineffectively with his cestus, but cannot seem to land a solid blow for fear of hitting himself as the rats crawl over him!
Finally with Toddy biting and stomping, and Gergori's long strokes that kill several rats at a time the group is able to pull away from the little swarm. The remaining creatures scurry in all directions looking for an easier meal.
And although small the rats have left their mark. Halál barely stands his feathers torn and his body laced with small bite and claw marks. Marshan quickly channels the power of Erastil to heal the wounded tengu, Toddy, and himself.
