Quagmire, suddenly confronted with the largest, ugliest, hairiest rat he has ever seen, barely manages to check his swing when he realizes that it's actually Brudd's backside and not a rat at all.
"The stairs are that way", he growls. "Just can't do anythin' the easy way, can we." He raises his sword again, more carefully this time, and prepares to attack the next rat that approaches.
[sblock=actions, tactics]Quagmire readies an action to do Hammer and Anvil when an enemy makes it to D2 (unless it's G1; then he'll just do viper's strike).
This fight is where we really need a wizard. Ah, well. My second choice would have been to put Alex in total defense at the bottom of the stairs and just rain down ranged attacks from above. But it looks like we've worked ourselves into a decent kill pocket here, too, as long as Alex and Brudd don't get too chewed up. Girth is subject to OAs, though...[/sblock]
