Rokelsh, AC 18, 34/37 HP.
Steeling his nerve, Rokelsh wades Toward the swarm, flinging rats this way and that.
[sblock=combat]
5' Step into Melee with the nearest portion of the rats(If I'm not allready in melee range) and start Swinging. FULL POWER ATTACK!
Attack Rolls:
11 + 6 = 17 AC. 2 + 1 = 3 AC.
Damage Rolls: 5 & 3+19 = 24 Damage & 22 damage.
I doubt the second one hits, though.
(Do you mind me using Invisiblecastle, btw? If so, here's my stats and you can roll it yourself: +6/+1 attack, 2d6+19 damage, Threat 19-20/X2.)
BTW, if it's needed, I have a +8 Fort save.

OOC: Two questions:
1) Can Shai use Entangle in this setting? Okay, obviously he can cast it, but will it have any effect? The descriptive text talks about plants, which wouldn't seem to be too prevalent here, but I find it odd that same text doesn't say anything about requiring a natural environment to work (most of the fire spells explicitly say they don't work in water, for example, even though that might seem like common sense). I always sort of thought whatever plant life was lingering under the stone would spring up and do some binding, but I'm probably biased.
2) Depending on the answer to 1) above, is more of the swarm inside the room, or on top of the party?

Friadoc
Explorer
While continuing to whirl his nunchaku before him, Friadoc uses his off hand to retrieve one of his flasks of oil that he just remember to have in his haversack.
"If anyone's got some spare flame," says Friadoc as he repeatedly arcs streams of oil out over the swarm. "Am where the oil hits."
Hopefully the oil, once enflamed, will bisect the swarm and thusly weaken it.

Mista Collins
First Post
Repeating her last action, three more bolts of pure energy are released from her outstretched hands and strike the swarming rats once more.

Shai cannot use entangle in this environment. There are a good portion of rats swarming over Friadoc and Ragash right now, and an even more significant portion advancing to do the same.
Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid
Shai backs up, grumbling to himself, "You're never prepared, are ya, Shai? Wrong spells, no fire..."
then the wide-shouldered man's eyes light up. "You want fire? I think I got just the friend for ya..."
With that, Shai fishes a piece of mistletoe from his pouch and begins making odd sizzling sounds. The air in the doorway the swarm's exiting begins shimmering with a heat haze...
[sblock=OOC]5' step back, swapping out Bull's Strength for Summon Nature's Ally II, summoning a Fire Elemental, hopefully close enough to light that oil on fire. Damn full round spells. If the swarm gets up to them, Dyspeer will attack to try to keep them off Shai[/sblock]

Rokelsh swings his mighty sword, flinging bloody pieces of rats in all directions: into the walls, floor, and even his pertners.
Tanith creates another hole in the swarm with her magic. As before, it is quickly filled with even more of the advancing rodents, although she can tell their numbers are thinning.
As Tanith's magic and dead rats assault them, the previously calmed rats become active again and advance with the others, and soon cover the entire party.
Friadoc retrieves a flask of oil from his pouch and begins to douse the rats, careful not to get any on himself or his friends.
Shai knocks the rats from him and retrieves a piece of mistletoe from his pouch to begins a spell. The doorway begins to shimmer with in a haze of heat, and the room gets noticeably warmer.
Rogash and Jonas swing their weapons and add to the rat-carnage on the floor around them.
---------next round-------------
Dead rats continue to fly as Rogash, Rokelsh and Jonas work in unison with their weapons. Dyspeer is enjoying flinging them about as well, snapping their little bones as he does so.
Friadoc and Tanith retreat as Shai's spell takes a vague humanoid shape. The fire elemental darts through the swarm and the rats begin to scatter in little balls of flame. As the elemental reaches the area of rats doused in oil, a huge single flame erupts, as the tiny rats squeal in pain.

Rokelsh 29/37
Tanith Dathius 22/23
Friadoc 25/32
Shaimon Hu'u 33/36 (5 nonlethal)
Rogash Ungart 31/39
Jonas Cleighton 37/44
Dyspeer 22/29 (3 nonlethal)

[sblock=OOC]In the interest of moving things along, I went ahead and finished this out so that we don't have to play it out round by round. Hope that's okay with everyone.
Jemal--I really don't care for invisible castle; I'd rather do the rolling myself if that's okay with you. And in this case, it worked out even better for you: both attacks hit, and with greater damage. I appreciate you giving me your modifiers and such in the combat post, but as far as the rolling goes, I'd really rather do it myself.[/sblock]
