He catches up to him, but his attempted thrust between the creature's shoulder blades goes awry, the point of his rapier skidding across the greasy leather rags the creature is wearing.Mairan slashes again, but the ratling, gravely wounded as he is, parries the sword. The creature squeals something in Rattish, and it sounds like gloating to her.Ella's magical hand grasps and tosses the torch into the middle of the greasy patch on the floor, but she's still an apprentice, and the conjured grease is vanishing even as the torch drops to the floor.Valana slips to the floor, her blood leaking out at an alarming rate. She's not awake to see it, but Thurst steps over her, unslinging his shield and taunting the ratlings into attacking him, not her.Mata is sure her sleep spell is cast perfectly -- Kunstler would likely have given her one of his rare words of praise, had he seen it -- but the escaping ratling shakes off the effect and slams his way out of the room, into the darkened corridor beyond. Nearby, the ratling that Aeshen is attacking similarly shakes off the effect, although it was seemingly a close thing there for a moment.Everything seems to move in slow motion for Aeshen for a moment, as the fleeing ratling takes his spear and swings it at the gong. He braces himself for an unholy clamor, but the blow sounds muted and the dented disk just swings idly back and forth, hardly making any sound at all.The ratling leader swings his mace at Mairan's face, but she parries the blow away.Thurst gets what he wanted: The full attention of both remaining ratlings, and both find their spears harmlessly thunking into his shield.[sblock=ooc]Ouch, both ratlings in the area of effect for the sleep spell made their saving throw to resist. One barely, one hugely.Valana is now at -2 hit points and bleeding out. She will die in 8 rounds.ROUND ENDS. Ratlings take their next actions after tomorrow night's school board meeting, so any time before 11 p.m. PST.[/sblock]</blockquote>
