Before any one can object, Quinn rips apart two more of the rats struggling in the web spell.

Lorien remains in the back with the everburning torch held high. He keeps one on the bats above. A few of them flitter around but the bats remain near the cavern's ceiling.

The three remaining dire rats struggle in vain to escape the web spell. The magic holds them tight while the rest of the swarm rats retreat down the right side corridor. Soon there is only the three dire rats left. The others are either dead or have fled.

Reaching forward with his spear, Caerth attempts to hit one of the remaining dire rats while still musing over the creatures' odd behavior.
"Could be magic. Or some sort of sickness. Or perhaps..."

Caerth's spear skewers one of the remaining rats. He pulls it off the web, as it remains impaled on his spear. It doesn't look mangy or frail. It fact, it looks plump like it's been feeding well.

Phar rubs his chin thoughtfully and then puts his keen elven ears to use listening for the swarm to approach from some other direction. "I think it best we finish off the dire rat and get moving again. I suspect that we haven't seen the last of the swarm."
OOC: Listen is +4 if needed.

". . . . . perhaps. . . . .What?" asks Quinn,his eyes watching the unusually aggressive creatures.

The half-orc shoots a quick glance towards Quinn.
"Perhaps they are driven by some dark power. A demon, possibly."
Caerth returns his gaze to the rats before adding, "Phar is right. Let's leave."

"Agreed," Lorien asserts. He leads the way back out of the room towards the corridor they came in through, trusting Phar's ears.
As Phar listens for any signs of rats, he notes that there are sounds coming from the other side of the cavern's wall, near the opening. And he sees what looks like gaps in the rock face above. Not huge ones, but more than big enough for rats. His ears soon hear the telltale sound of the rats crawling along the caverns walls and can see a few of them appearing on the wall above them. Phar has just enough time to warn everyone before the swarm appears again.

Everyone retreats from the cavern. Soon the noise from the rat swarm is noticeable to everyone, as it crawls along the wall of the cavern and down towards the uneven floor. The groups moves out of the way just before the swarm would have climbed down all over them.
"Eww, that's disgusting," Lorien notes.
The noise from the swarm causes many of the bats to become agitated. They begin to circle at the top of the cavern and shriek, which causes the rats to surge forward towards the heroes. Soon the bats are swarming through the cavern just as the group heads back out into the corridor.
