IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel

[JimAde]

Jerek sidles silently around to get the rat between him and Kuma. He strikes lithely at it, trying to keep his legs away from its razor teeth.

[OOC: Moving to flank, for an extra +2 to hit, plus 1d6 SA damage if I hit.
+2 Melee Short Sword (1d6 19-20/x2 +1d6 SA damage). More in the OOC Thread.]

 

[Shayuri]

Kuma snarls at the rat he missed and slashes again, not even seeming to notice the bites on his legs yet.

(second verse, same as the first!)

 

[Mithran]

Heirmund begins to chant something several times but stops as he trys to find an opening through which he could hit one of the rats.

OOC: Doing nothing but hold the lantern for this round. Sorry I didn't post yesterday.

 

[jayaint]

Ydyr will delay and will "move into any melee square that becomes unoccupied during this round of combat."

If not, he will use his turn to actively Spot and Listen over the din, down the hallway to make sure there are no other surprises.

 

[Voadam]

Jair is confident about this fight and seems to be enjoying the thrill of battle.

 

[IndyPendant]

Jair and Terrek attack again, this time on the same southern rat, but they can't quite hit the agile beast. Kuma growls his frustration, and this time anticipates the northern rat's dodging, his longsword severing its spine. In a single smooth move, he uses the momentum of his swing to carry it through in a sweep over behind him, catching the slightly-wounded southern rat unaware and striking it between the eyes, killing it instantly.

In moments, all three rats are dead.

((Jair's attack: 11+2=13. Terrek's: 11+3=14. Kuma's: 11(!)+4=15. Damage: 4+3=7. Kuma's Cleave: 16+4+2=22. Damage: 2+3=5.))

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Lehko regains control of himself and steps forward, kneeling before one of the rats. "At least I stayed concious this time. Gods above, I hate these things." He picks up the head of one by the mange on it's neck and stares into it's glassy eyes a moment.

 

[Shayuri]

With a satisfied grunt, Kuma plants a foot against one of the bloated, oversized rats and scrubs his sword blade against its shaggy hide...cleaning the ichor off before sheathing it.

He then gives the bites on his shins a closer look, but neither seems to particularly faze him. He wraps the larger of the two with a strip of clean cloth, but otherwise leaves them be.

"I'll wager those rats have a den in one of those side rooms. A nest." He nods and wipes his nose against the rough leather of his bracer. "They sometimes like to collect shiny things for their nests."

At that Kuma grins a greedy grin, and goes towards the nearest side door to take a peek.

 

[Voadam]

"Nice sword maneuver Kuma. Although in a nest I'd only expect more rats."

 

[JimAde]

Jerek nods. He says quietly, "Yes, let's just close the doors in case there are more and get on with it."
