With his darkvision, Visha can see ahead of the others. Within the rubbish at the back wall he can see numerous small shapes moving about- more rats. They appear normal at first, but as he advances he can see signs of the plague on them- they are emaciated and covered in boils, and some have the skin rotting off their bones. Some are fleeing the noise, others are looking at the intruders warily. Many are fighting over scraps of food- the weaker ones who are near death are vainly trying to fight off predators.
As the rest of the group follows, Argent's torch throws light onto the scene. Most of the rats flee at the light, digging into junk piles or scuttling through cracks in the wall. Those that stay are obviously diseased and can barely move.

"These creatures must be dealt with..." Visha mutters, surveying the creatures. "However, I must have one alive... I will need to study it."
He turns to Gideon. "Though I know you are immune to natural disease, warrior, I would imagine that your... 'divine' protection," He says the word with a sneer, "may not be useful in this situation."
"Well?" Visha then asks, surveying the group. "Do you want to assist in removing these creatures? Or shall I do it myself? And if you do... remember that I must have one of the diseased ones, alive and unharmed."
Visha starts casting flame blade.

"Visha! Everyone, hold on a moment, I ask!" Solonir shouts and walks to the druid. "I agree, the rats must be destroyed and you shall have one for your examinations, but allow me to cast a spell first. We'll soon find out if the plague is magical... This won't take long...", the elf mutters and begins casting a simple spell.
Solonir casts detect magic concentrating first on the weak but alive rats. He will scan the whole cellar if none of the rats attacks the party.

Cadwyn readies himself to run interference in case if anything attacks the spellcaster.
OOC: He is ready to attack any rats that might atack or to snatch any missles that might come out at him.

OOC: Snarky mode on... yeah. those rats look like good archers.
IC: Gideon huffs at Visha's comment and says "I'm probably the most protected against thier noxious bites and you feel you need to demean me? Are you that antisocial or have I offended you in some capacity? I don't care what you think Visha I'm here to slay rats if that will stop the plague." The Knight picks up a piece of wood that ha can use as a club and proceeds to start "rat pucking" (an old game of seeing how far you can get a rat to fly through the air in one wack.)

"If you had been listening," Visha says with a hiss, "then you would realize that I said that you are more than likely not protected from their poison. I have a hunch that it is not natural in some fashion... and though it may not be magical, I do not know if you will be immune."
Visha laughs slightly.
"I am that antisocial."
"You honestly think these rats are the source of the plague?" Visha asks, amused. "No, these creatures have been affected by it, is all... they probably carried it here from the source. No, I doubt that they are the source."

Gideon has not trouble in bashing the diseased rats, since they can barely move.
Solonir, you detect no magic here. It occurs to you (OOC Spellcraft check made) that many magics that could cause poison or disease simply summon the sickness, and are not actual enchantments (ie think Contagion, which has an instantaneous duration).

Visha nods. "Yes, let us hope they are..."
He then proceeds to destroy the rats - even the dead ones - with the flame blade, kicking one of the live ones that are plague-infested out into the open before he does so.
"Leave that one." Visha says. "That is the one that I will test.
