The last rat threatening Tor moves in for another bite but utterly fails to find an opening for its teeth.
Fimble calls out encouragement to his companions as he fires another bolt into the closest rat. He quickly loads his crossbow as he takes another step forward.
Gideon, sensing the trouble his friends are in, rushes dangerously forward to attack one of the rats threatening Metrius. He maintains his balance but can't steady himself to aim his swing properly and it whooshes by over the rat's head.
Fimble's target moves in to finish off Babette latching onto her leg with its teeth again and dropping her to the ground, unconscious.
Otto takes another step closer but Drezel remains where he is.
A rat snaps forward at Metrius, drawing a line of blood with its teeth. Metrius tries to return the favor but the wound throws off the cleric's aim.
The rat Gideon charged turns its attention to the brash young man, gashing him in the leg again. Gideon somehow manages to remain standing, but he's obviously at his limit.
Tor swings the chain at his attacker, missing the target in his enthusiasm.
