[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6110988, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="5"]Let's Play #2 Goodman Games DCC53 Sellswords of Punjar (Level 1)[/SIZE][/CENTER] Session 2.

A rat. And another. And… Another. And… Another. And… You get the idea. Moments later the adventurers are encircled by thousands of tiny pairs of eyes, glinting in the shadowy light- Swarms of Rats. “Shhh…” Erais offers. Corrin stares at the Sunlord. “They may allow us to pass…” Erais finishes. The rat swarms scurry forward and attack. The Bad Guys are... 250 XP Level 1 Encounter. Rat Swarm Level 2 Skirmisher x2 [CENTER][url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/40504969@N08/8080282256/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8475/8080282256_32c7a0ee5e.jpg[/img][/url][/CENTER] [sblock=The Monster Manual] [CENTER][url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/40504969@N08/8660301859/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8117/8660301859_38ce83db36_o.png[/img][/url][/CENTER] [/sblock] The adventurers are of course ready for them- Riardon fires his bow, Corrin and Kathra strike out with sword and hammer, Tira yells and points- fire forms, while Erais sends a burning radiant Lance of Faith in to the swarms. It’s like an action movie. Except that none of the attacks actually connect with the rats. All five miss. Moments later Kathra screams like a little girl as a swarm descends upon the dwarf and begins chewing on her lower legs. [sblock=Rat Swarm] [CENTER][url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/40504969@N08/8533055186/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8525/8533055186_b584a23dc3_o.jpg[/img][/url][/CENTER] [/sblock] The remaining four adventurers share a brief look- did that just happen? “Kill ‘em” Corrin declares in a loud and commanding voice. Riardon manoeuvres and fires in to a bolus of rats, at least a half-dozen of the rodents are skewered. Rats nip and bite at Corrin, who likewise edges towards safety (surviving thanks to his Second Chance power), he slashes furiously as he goes- trying to protect Kathra with his shield- swatting at the swarm that surrounds the dwarf. Tira Curses and blinds half of the rodents to her presence with her Eyebite attack- dulling the swarms senses, she too moves as far as she can away from the rodents. Kathra cannot escape, she’s stuck in centre of the chamber- she bleeds, then tries to advance- back up, all to no avail, her warhammer crashes down again and again but the rats are much too fast. Erais delivers another Lance of Faith, this time to marvellous effect scorching a swathe of rats, a critical success, the first swarm is bloodied. Kathra continues to suffer, more bites, more blood- the dwarf staggers, bloodied. The other swarm menaces Corrin but the paladin swats wildly with his sword and keeps them at bay. Riardon finally gets clear of the swarms, the eladrin continues to fire arrows in to the foul rodents- hitting again and again. Corrin continues to keep the swarm that menaces him at bay, burning a few more of rats with his radiant Holy Smite. Tira, like the ranger, is now clear of the threat- her second Eyebite however is poorly directed- and has no effect. Which doesn’t help Kathra any, the rats are now climbing the dwarf’s legs- clinging on, biting in to her delicate parts. The dwarf is situated within the aura of both swarms; she’s also taking ongoing damage. Kathra is quickly reduced to one hit point. Kathra Cleaves in to her enemies, cutting a swathe through the first swarm and swatting dead several more rats in the second. Kathra sucks up the hurt and gets her Second Wind. Erais’s third Lance of Faith runs true once more- both swarms are now bloodied, the Sunlord mutters a prayer and almost all of Kathra’s wounds are healed. She looks mightily relieved. However it’s Corrin’s turn to feel the hurt, the halfling’s lower limbs are bitten repeatedly, the paladin bleeds. Riardon continues to fire arrows in to the thickest parts of the swarms, thinning them out rapidly… “Quickly!” The ranger states, urging his fellows to increase their pace. Corrin staggers, the rats are now seeking to swamp the halfling, to bring the paladin down- climbing his body- biting, scratching- squeaking. “GET OFF!” Another Holy Strike, using the flat of his blade to swat and swipe the rodents from him- burning them with his blades radiant light. Both swarms are nearly done for, on less than five hit points each. Tira’s Cursed Eyebite comes again, and the swarm surrounding Corrin is scattered- the few rats remaining flee, the half-elf disappears in a puff of smoke, reappears a good fifteen or so feet away, courtesy of her Misty Step. Kathra takes a few more bites but the dwarf is far from done- she thumps down her warhammer, time and time again, squashing, crushing- smashing. The second swarm scatters. Job done. The adventurers breathe hard. 250 XP Level 1 Encounter Rat Swarm Level 2 Skirmisher x2 Comment: Nasty things swarms, particularly when none of the PCs have Close or Area attacks, you just have to stand there and take it, keep dishing out half damage till they go away- particularly at close quarters.
