Despite still being in his small clothes, he manages to kill a number of rats, stomping them underfoot or smacking them against walls or beams.With lightning fast movements, Thuan proceeds to dispatch rats with brutal efficiency, snapping spines and bursting organs with precise blows from hands and feet.The rats swarm over beds of those both awake and asleep. The attack with utter disregard for their own safety, a frenzy of bitting and scratching. Out of the darkness they climb up legs or hurl themselves from beams. No one manages to escape being bloodied. Bayar, if not fully awake before, is now. Despite the rude awakening, he still manages to kill a number of rats.Ullara considers her options. There are three. The stairs down. The two small windows mid way along the wall. A hatch in the floor, opening to the storage room below. The stairs are definitely the easiest. The windows are small and would require climbing through, leaving Ullara defenceless as she does so. They would also put her on the roof, steeply sloping and a good 15-20 feet above the ground. Bran would have to be assisted out onto the roof, and would struggle to avoid falling. The drop beneath the hatch likewise will be around 15 feet, unless there are stores stacked below it. There is a hook set in a beam above the hatch, but no pulley or rope attached to it at this time.Meanwhile, Bran makes short work the nearest rats with his powerful jaws and savage shakes of his head, tossing dead and bloody rats left and right.Libros is woken by the savage attack of the rats. He manages to scramble to his feet, and knock a few away, but does no harm to them.Eban, also woken by the attack, manages to kill a few of the filthy creatures.The room stinks of damp rat fur, blood, and rat piss.[sblock=OOC]Ullara's options. Ullara still has her Round 1 move action in hand.1. Stairs 2 move actions to reach top of stairs. 1 more to exit building. 2. Window: 1 move action to reach window. 1 full round to exit. 1 move action to assist Bran (if he jumps unassisted, he risks disappearing right off the edge off the roof.3. Hatch: 1 full action to reach and to open (move action with successful Perception check to spot rope pull to lift the hatch DC 10, -4 darkness penalty applies). Free action just to jump (and hope) or full action to climb down and drop. Perception DC 10 to spot rope (Ullara remembers seeing it somewhere close to the hatch. -4 for darkness applies). 1 move action to retrieve and tie off. 1 move action to slide down the rope (no falling damage).Note:A number of people didn't post attack actions. Maybe waiting for the surprise round to play out? Anyway, to move things along I inserted a simple attack action in each case.Character ...
