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.))</blockquote>
