Ella pauses for a brief second, wide eyed and looks visibly nervous about whatever it is she is planning.
With one of her hands clutching her staff, albeit shakily, and the other twitching in her reagent pouch she begins spewing forth every curse she can muster in Orcish.
[sblock=translation for narration]
Loosely translated from Orcish: "your mother was a field mouse", "cheese eating trash dwelling plague infested pox", "I've seen excrement bigger than you" and so on and so forth.
In the midst of the cursing Ella will throw in the Elvish word for 'duck' or 'heads up' or the equivalent for her companions benefit
[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC Action]
Ella will continue taunting the rats until either they turn around or before the end of the round, where Ella will cast Color Spray so that the spray angles enough to get the ratlings on the near side of the barrier

It's impossible to tell if the ratlings understand Orcish as Ella carefully maneuvers to put them within reach of her spell -- she hopes -- but they definitely notice her with alarm. The ratling with the sling screams something and points at her, and one of the ratlings with spears turns and begins clambering down the barricade toward her.

Mata fires at the now-distracted ratling slinger, her bolt piercing its stomach. But it's a hit through the creature's side, and did not hit dead-center. Still the creature looks weak and will not last much longer.
As Thrust scrambles up one side of the barricade, Ella climbs onto the bottom of the far side, even as she throws a fist full of colored sand at the ratlings and recites an incantation.
And just like that, it's over: The ratlings clutch their eyes as they find themselves enveloped in a spray of colored motes of light. They clutch their eyes and collapse, unmoving and unconscious, onto the barricade.
[sblock=ooc]Mata does 2 points of damage to Ratling #1.
The ratlings absolutely blow their saving throw checks.
COMBAT ENDS.
360 XP each.[/sblock]

Ella watches the ratlings fall lifeless to the ground, slowly a very excited smile creeps onto her face.
"Yay!" Ella exclaims jumping in triumph "We did it!"
Quickly sobering Ella's excitement, she turns her thoughts to Valana and Thurst, hoping the Dwarf can find the power to heal their fallen companion... yet again.

Upon reaching the top of the barricade, Thurst turns with a sneer only to discover all of the ratlings have already been taken care of. In response to Ella's cheering, he replies "We did? What did we do exactly?"
Wasting no time, Thurst kneels before Valana and once again entrusts the girl's well-being with the Mother of Machines.

Mata's answer is the wet sound of Mairan dispatching a ratling, driving her blade through its skull. Aeshen begins doing the same a moment later.
