Initiatives Round 1
Thunder
Aramil
Snag
Rats
Skye
Thunder: Thunder fails to harm his monstrous rat opponent with his attack.
Aramil: The DC of the climb check is 0, so I wouldn't be overstating your peril.
Snag: Snag descends the rope in one round, coming down right near one of the rats. Aramil soon follows.
Rats: The two remaining dire rats each attack their original targets without any sense of strategy, or for what it's worth, fear. Thunder takes 2 points of damage from the disgusting maw of the rat while Skye keeps it back with his steady shield.
Skye: Skye's trident skewers and kills the dire rat nearest her. Now only one remains on the opposite side of the ledge near Thunder.
