OOC: Sorry it took awhile; the week was not kind to me.


Freggo sees the fleeing rat transform and rushes to try and stop it, if only temporarily.

[sblock=Actions]Move to H5 (should have LOS on the target from there).
Use color orb (vs. Will), possibly with Heroic Effort and Lucky Charm[/sblock]

OOC: Guess heroic effort won't help much here -___-

GM: Missing Ah-shahran's dice rolls already...


Freggo dashes around the pillar and to the edge of the northern corridor, the creature now in sight- he unleashes his power...

A few seconds later a mostly-orange globe smacks wetly into the wall a good ten feet from its intended target.

Freggo sulks out loud.

Seeing one of the wererats break and flee, Kyalia darts across the room, her bow at the ready, and fires an arrow after the now-in-human-form-creature. Afterwards, the huntress moves closer to her prey, hoping to hinder its retreat and thus the alarming of more enemies.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Move: H5
Minor: Hunter's Quarry
Standard: Evasive Strike (afterwards Shift 4 to D7)[/SBLOCK]

Kyalia gashes forward to Freggo's side, quickly marks the remaining target for destruction and fires- her arrow rips through the beast, it totters- looks down at the great rent in its body... and then falls.

The last enemy is dead.

Kyalia is still in action however, she dashes forward, just in time to see the doors in the passage ahead of her clang shut. Also just in time to see another of the hairy men (another Wererat she presumes) slamming the doors closed... there's the sound of activity from beyond the doors.

New Map-

255 Fire & Rats- Fleeing Wererat is brought down

The pillared corridor to the east leads on into darkness...

Freggo suddenly staggers, clutches at the wall- the room spins and swims before his eyes, throat parched, and... he vomits and then slides down the stone to the floor. The young hero is suffering his hands shake and spasm, his brow is slick and greasy with sweat and yet his teeth chatter...

GM: Freggo loses a Healing Surge. He's down to 4.


Next up- over to you guys... and feel free to hog the limelight as it seems people are very busy- if you're free then step in, ask questions and find things out- rather than wait for someone else.

“More of them ahead. They shut the door,” Kyalia quickly explains what she has seen.

She does not move closer to the door, however, instead she waits to catch her breath and to let her allies catch up.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Short Rest, if possible.[/SBLOCK]

GM: Short Rest details already in the XP, HP & AP blocked section above- I will always do this at the end of every encounter, as per your previous instructions- if I don't do it then that might be a clue that something's up...


And then...

Kali double-times it over to the weakening Freggo, lowers him to the ground, and offers him water from his skin. He then examines the wounds caused by the rat-thing, drawing on both his healing and nature knowledge for signs of infection, poison or anything suspect.

Freggo is diseased, the bite form the rat has fouled his blood- the disease is in its early stages... Kali ministers to the fallen hero, and soon enough (five minutes later for the short rest), Freggo is back on his feet- still a little dizzy but, ready to press on.

Kali is certain that Freggo is infected with Filth Fever, a disease borne by filthy vermin like the rats and wererats, the big man silently offers thanks that the infection was not Lycanthropy.

GM: NB Freggo will have to make an Endurance check, or else another PC should make a Heal check (aided by other PCs perhaps) after 24 hours, so after the next Extended Rest.
