Excursion to Gronar's Tomb (Full)

[Animus]

OOC: I was waiting for Durak to act, but I'm assuming he's waiting for something to happen, so...

As you peer down the corridor, a nightmarish vision heads your way. You see dozens of rats scurrying towards you, and they have a look of ravenous hunger. They are 50 feet ahead.

Initiative:
(K)amvul: 19 (roll) + 6 (mod) = 25
(T)ym: 1 (roll) + 1 (mod) = 2
(G)rotz: 11 (roll) + 1 (mod) = 12
(J)em: 11 (roll) + 2 (mod) = 13
(D)urak: 17 (roll) + 4 (mod) = 21
(M1)Rat Swarm: 20 (roll) + 2 (mod) = 22

clammy sweat beginning to condense on her skin, jem aims carefully at one of the rats closest to her (if necessary, stepping into a square where she won't hit one of her companions). "rats! why did it have to be rats??!!" she mutters morosely.

[ooc: she will continue until a) they get too close or b) the bolt case on her repeating crossbow empties - whichever comes first.]

Tym Human Bard

"Oh rats", Tym says with a grin. He reaches into his pouch for a newly purchased flask of alchemist's fire. He steps to the side and tosses it out in front of the party as close to the approching rats as possible.

OOC: A bard's facinate ability only affects one creature at my level, does a swarm by any chance count as one creature in this instance??

 

[LiquidAtom]

"Well not exactly what I expected." Kamvul says as he watches the rats scurry forward. Kamvul readies himself to skewer a pair of the rodents when they get close enough.


OOC: Animus what type of file is a .xls? Is it an excell file? For some reason I can't open it.

 

[Animus]

OOC: it is an excel file. This particular combat is just in a hallway, so it's straight forward (no pun intended). I'll try to figure something better out for the future, though.

Grotzkoshter moves next to Jem
Go to the Abyss you bloody rats!
And prepare to shot his bolt and send some rats to the underworld

 

[Animus]

OOC: An explanation about swarms.
A swarm is a collection of many tiny or smaller creatures. For Tiny creatures, it's 300. What you guys are looking at is effectively two swarms (~600 rats). Does that clariy things?

Durak, if you're still sick or something let me know, we can work around this. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to everyone else to hold them back.

That being said, some of you need to adjust your actions. Good luck

OOC: No pied piper routine then. I'll stick with putting a fire between us and the rats.

Tym asks the group in a nervious voice, "Does anyone think it would be cowardous of us to retreat at this point?"

Jem the Bravehearted

"Errm ... no?" Jem squeaked in an unnaturally (even for her) voice, as she began to slowly back up (into Durak), her face now decidedly green with a slight yellow tinge.

Kamvul ir'Vadaya

"No I don't think that's cowardly, just good thinking," Kamvul sheaths his swords and starts lighting a torch. "Does anyone have anything flammable?"

OOC: If someone does, he will pour the substance on the floor between the party and the rats and set it on fire.
