"Perhaps they are of two kinds," Aeiyan conjectures; then elaborates, "The few that skittered over to that corner, to scratch letters in the dust, might be magically transformed into the likenesses of the actual vermin which are still entangled on the ceiling."
Another thought occurs to him: "Or the ones entangled on the ceiling might be transformed as well; though I don't know how we could tell other than to let them attack us if they so desire."
[OOC: Does Aeiyan have time to say all of that in a single round? Or is there more time available now that the party is hesitating a bit?]
[OOC2: It won't come up in casual conversation in play: Of course Aeiyan's interjection a few posts ago wasn't an Elvish saying. However, just as the famous Aragorn listened to conversations in the Prancing Pony in Bree, so too did Aeiyan listen to conversations in the Inn of the Waltzing Bear in East Vitupersville, to get a sense of the mood of the place, and a sense who was openly carousing while others were muttering dark words to each other in small groups. In the process of listening in, he acquired a few choice expletives that he might occasionally repurpose in other situations. (That's my story as of now.)]
