[QUOTE="hewligan, post: 4600859, member: 19688"] [b]Rat Swarms[/b] You follow Jokad's lead, moving swiftly after Iesha, trying to ignore the scratching noises. And then the rats break from their cover behind the walls. They pour out by the hundreds, wave after wave crawling over one another's bodies in order to reach you. Their flesh looks diseased, the fur missing in patches to reveal red welts and white leaking sores pockmark their bodies. The noise is terrible. A wave of screaming and squealing. You can sense their hunger as they scrabble desperately to reach you. That is when you start to run. Jokad reaches the open door that Iesha went through and sprints inside. He stands there, holding the door ready to slam it shut. Kael and Mal make it through next, then Jovik. Danth, bringing up the rear, feels the first rat slithering over his foot as he moves into the corridor after Jokad. Tens of rats follow him in, their teeth bared as they try to nip at his leather boots. Jokad slams the door hard. You hear a sickening crunch as it crushes the bodies of a few rats that followed close behind. At your feet you have perhaps 10 to 15 diseased rats snapping and spitting. Danth leads the way, slamming down on one with his weapon, watching the splatter of blood that marks its demise. Jovik crushes on under foot, and Kael kicks one hard into the wall. It drags itself off, nursing a twisted back. The others break, then, running into the darkness ahead, seeking a safe haven. Behind the door you hear the hungry snuffling of many hundreds of rats. Unless you can find a safe exit you are going to have to head back through that room on your way out. Still, that is something to worry about later! OOC: I will post the map update later. Also, can you post in the OOC thread to let me know if you are around at Christmas, or if I should be pausing the game. [/QUOTE]
