Jerek pulls back his bow, but waits to see if the rats respond to Jair's prompting.
[OOC: Ready an action to shoot the first rat that tries to attack Lehko. Since I can't ready a full-round action it will be just one attack.
+3 Ranged Short bow (1d6 20/x3) (I believe the distance is 50 ft, which is no modifier. If it's inside 30', +1, if it's 60' or more, -1)

With only seconds left remaining on his spell, Jair decides to use those moments to briefly explain his plan to Terrek, who is still sniffing the ground in the area looking for scents. Terrek trots over to the edge, looks down, and then looks up at his master, the expression on his face obvious: "Are you crazy?" His spell now ended, Jair has to resort to gestures, but he finally manages to get Terrek to jump down towards the ledge. The poor wolfhound howls his fear and misery all during the slow trip down, the noise echoing wierdly in this cavernous space, but he does finally land on the ledge unharmed, near Lehko and the rats.
((This definitely required a 'push' check to get Terrek to jump to what he would consider to be near-certain death. DC I set at 25, with a -5 for the Speak with Animals. Roll was: 12+7+4=23.))
Lehko tries to cast his spell on the defensive, but having to watch from all directions hampers him and he loses the spell completely. Dengar tries to climb down as fast as possible, and almost slips but manages to go another 20 feet, so that he ends up only 10 feet above the ledge. Ydyr decides to risk sharing the rope with Dengar and scrambles down it a bit faster, ending his movement 20 feet above the ledge, and 10 feet above Dengar.
((Lehko's check: 10+4=14. I had Dengar and Ydyr both use Accelerated Climbing, since there's no risk of falling--just a small one of not being able to move at all this round. Dengar: 5+4-4-5=0. Ydyr: 8-5=3.))
Jerek shoots an arrow down at one of the rats, but he tries too hard to miss Lehko, and ends up missing the rat as well. The rats attack Lehko, but he manages to dance around and avoid two of the rats. He can't face all three though, and so one of the flanking rats manages to carve a large chunk out of Lehko's leg with its long teeth!
((Jerek's attack: 12+3-4=11. The rats' attacks: 5, 18, 8. Lehko takes 2 points damage from the bite.))
((Note that casting Feather Fall is a free action that does not even have to be done on Heirmund's turn, so he could have done something else this round. And note that Dodge is effectly a flat +1 dodge to AC, so Lehko doesn't need to designate an opponent.))

Jerek growls in frustration and slips to the side to try to get a clearer shot. "Damn vermin," he mutters as he releases two arrows in quick succession.
[OOC: Rapid shot this round. Take a 5' step first if it will give me an unobstructed shot.
+1/+1 Ranged Short bow (1d6 20/x3). I guess it's Precise Shot next time I get a feat.

Ydyr looks below him at the confusion on the ledge. He scurries down the rope and will take a swing at anything rat-like when he gets to the bottom.
[[If I have any movement left at the bottom of the rope I would like to flank. If not, and there is a rat within striking distance then just attack as normal.]]

Lehko tries again to cast on the defensive at the rat closest to the ledge--the one that is not flanking him--to blast it right off, as Heirmund continues to watch what is happening down below. This time Lehko manages to maintain his concentration, and a visible wave of tangible magical force ripples out at the rat, who fails to resist it. The rat's skull is smashed in with the force of the blow, and it is blown right off the ledge to fall down into the darkness below. Meanwhile, Dengar finishes climbing down the rope and moves so that he is flanking the nearest rat with Lehko, drawing his flail as he does so. Ydyr also finishes climbing--he actually falls the last few feet, though he was unhurt by it, and it looks like nobody noticed it--but can't quite move to a flanking position with the other rat.
((Lehko's check: 17+4=21. Rat's save: 11. Damage: 4+1=5. Spell Bull Rush check: 13+6=19. Rat's: 8. Dengar's final climb check: 8-5=3. Ydyr's: 5-5=0.))
Jerek shoots two arrows down at the remaining unflanked rat, but his shot goes so wide it doesn't even strike the ledge. The flanked rat attacks Lehko again, and bites out another hunk, this time out of his other leg. The second rat, to your horror apparently goes berserk, charging Dengar and leaping for his throat! Dengar drops his flail and tries to grapple with the rat, but the force of the rat's leap causes him to stumble backwards--too far. His foot hangs over empty space for a few moments--and then he topples. Heirmund tries desperately to force his Feather Fall to reach and affect Dengar, but it is hopeless; Dengar is just too far below him.
Dengar's gurgling scream cuts off mercifully quickly and abruptly.
((Jerek's attacks: 5+1-4=2; 6+1-4=3. Rat's attack: 25. Damage to Lehko: 2 HP. Lehko is now at 0 HP. See OOC thread for the why of Dengar's fate. Note that Heirmund will still have his 2nd Feather Fall available, should that matter; spell was not cast because the target was invalid.))
Jair tries to strike the final remaining rat with his sling stone, but his shock at Dengar's sudden demise causes him to miss badly as well. But Terek bounds forward, barking madly at the final rat. Instinctively taking Dengar's place, and flanking the rat with Lehko, Terrek clamps his jaws on the rat's neck and shakes it viciously. You can all hear the audible snap as the final rat's neck breaks.
((Jair's attack: 5+1-4=2. Terrek's attack: 17+3+2=22. Damage: 7+3=10.))

((Dammit, wish I'd checked the OOC thread before posting this but I fell behind so I went ahead with this. Don't respond yet please; incoming edit to incorporate the great idea given to me by Voadam and JimAde. : ))
((Okay. Edit complete.))

Lehko's triumphant look is cut short, when for the second time in as many days he feels the waves of nausea and loss of feeling while the world slips away. His legs fall out form under him, the deep gashes from the rats oozing blood, and has just enough time to gasp a startled "Dengar, no!" before fully dropping into bitter oblivion.
