Mata's crossbow string twangs and a ratling spins around, a bolt jutting from its eye socket, and falls down dead.
Almost simultaneously, Valana's arrow strikes one of the ratling's fellows. Although the creature squeals in pain, the arrow to the torso isn't enough to fell it.
Mairan interposes herself between the ratlings and the party, but the slash of her sword goes high over one of the creature's head.
Her opponent squeaks in outrage and stabs at her with his spear, moving faster than the ones the party encountered previously, but the human woman is able to parry the blows away safely.
Aeshen slips from the shadows, clearly intending to finish off the wounded ratling from behind, but his rapier's tip skids across the ratling's filthy rags harmlessly.
The creature turns on Aeshen, but neither of its spear thrusts are able to draw blood.
[sblock=ooc]Sorry for the delay: Holiday + post-holiday work + grad school application. Everything (including the grad school application) should be wrapped up by Monday, though!
Mata kills Ratling #1 with 4 points of damage.
Valana does 3 points of damage to Ratling #2.
Oh, and Mata and Valana get another action, due to the haste spell they're affected by![/sblock]

Adrenaline pumping, Mata grabs her club off her belt and swings at the closest ratling.
[sblock=ooc] I think that I should be close enough to enter melee, but I am popping this off right before going to a meeting after a week of mohitos and sun, so I may have lost track of where I am. If so, I'll fire with the crossbow instead, and ret-con the post.[/sblock]

Valana's arrow hits the ratling in the thigh, and is enough to bring the creature down with a squeal.
Her crossbow clattering to the floor, Mata grabs her club and swings at the remaining ratling. There's a sound of snapping bone, and the creature's head spins 180 degrees around. The ratling drops dead on the spot.
[sblock=ooc]Valana does 1 point of damage to Ratling #2, killing it dead.
Mata gets a confirmed critical hit and does 8 points of damage to Ratling #3, killing it to death.
COMBAT ENDS.
XP: 150 each.
Sorry for the delay. My application to Columbia is all sent off. I'm taking the writing test this afternoon and that's it except for an hour's worth of filling out financial aid forms in early February.[/sblock]
