OOC: Please disregard this post.

OOC: I could very much be mistaken, but hasn't Ehdge already acted for this round? From what I understand of how Sunshadow does these things, he takes the actions for all the NPC's / monsters at one time, then he has all the party members take their actions simultaneously. So that way there is no confusion over who is up and when. Thus if you have already acted for the round, you need only wait until Sunshadow says that the party is up again before you take your next actions.

Just waiting on Marcus to finish up the party's actions for this round.

OOC: Sorry guys, as previously noted, weekends aren't conducive to me for consistent posting. Hope everyone is good. So, here we go...

Marcus, standing near the entrance to the cave, cringes and then turns as the rats come come tumbling forth. One of them rolls across the floor like a fuzzy ball and uncurls and hisses at him. His hammer already in his hand Marcus blinks in surprise, but his instinct kicks in and he takes a swat at the offending rodent.

The assualt on the rats was remarkably successful. Between the color spray, burning hands, and simple raw attacking, one lone rat remained standing to get a second bite attack on Marcus. That rat is quickly dispatched by Ehdge, and the remaining comatose ones are quickly dealt with as well.

The party is left alone in the cave again, only now there is a new exit. The space appears to where a bunch of dire rats dug down between two walls and made a nest. On the other side of the now destroyed nest, you see the backside of a severely weakened finished wall that has a nice big rat size hole along the floor.

[sblock=leveling]Kazanto gets to level. Bear in mind, you're still down four from maximum hp and you have one used spell slot still.[/sblock]

OOC: I just realized I had been neglecting to utilize the speech convention I had decided upon for Fae'shiel, so I went back and edited it in to the best of my ability.

Once the rats were defeated Fae'shiel picks up her book and places it once again into her pack. She then looks around at the others as if expecting them to decide what they want to do, without offering her own opinion. Though she would prefer to rest, she knows that there is space to be explored, and would just as soon see it explored sooner rather than later.

 

[Ehdge]

Ehdge cleans the rat mess off of his greatsword and sheaths it. He then looks around to the others and asks, "Do we wish to explore this new opening? Or should we rest and wait for morning? I'm game for either one. Though if we decide to rest first, I think we should cover the opening with something before we sleep. At least something that will require some noise to come through."

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus eyes the wall and the rat hole.

We might can use some of the piece of the fallen wall to block that hole, shore that up just a tiny bit. We just finished walking all day to get here and probably would be best to rest here while we have a chance.

Having offered his opinion to any of those who might be interested in listening, Marcus turns his attention back to the cave entrance to see if the ruckus just now might have attracted any unwanted attention. During the storm not likely, but...

 

[Ehdge]

Ehdge nods at Marcus and moves to start gathering larger pieces of the wall together.

"We should probably go ahead and rest since we don't know what we might run into once we move inside."

He uses the debris from the wall along with a couple of pieces of firewood to shore up the hole in the wall that the rats came through. It's nothing permanent, but should at least require anything wanting to come through to make more than enough noise to alert the party.

OOC: If anyone has a strong objection to this course of action, we can still move forward. Otherwise, Ehdge begins to prepare for sleep again.

"I'm feeling a little flushed after that last combat," Kazanto replies. "Maybe we all should get some rest."
