Seeing the rats coming towards Inamar and Himself, Thelso will discontinue to use of the crossbow as the rats are far to small to hit and grab his Javalin. Should he be able to he will also grab for Inamar who is climbing back up the vines to assist her in getting back to the whole opening.

Thelso drops his crossbow and readies his spear.
Energy crackles from Inamar's fist at another rat and the crackling bolt flies true knocking a scrambling rat off the earth wall to its death. She then scrambles back up the wall, helped by the dover cleric over the top.
Weylan stabs at a rat on him as he clings to the vine, but his precarious position spoils his aim against the swarming rodent.
NR4ZN rushes at the wall and body slams against it full tilt trying to crush the vermin. Most are able to get out of the way but one is caught by surprise and is squished by the zoder's hard metal body, letting out a dying high pitched squeal.
Two rats remain to scramble up after Inamar and Thelso. They split and one goes after each. Thelso's ready spear catches the one charging him, stabbing it in the neck for a quick kill, while the other scrambles up onto Inamar, getting purchase on her clothes and biting her with tiny sharp teeth.
The rats move much swifter up the walls then any of the humanoid climbers.
The two rats on Weylan scrabble around on him but the twistings keep him safe for the moment as they do not find a purchase for their sharp teeth.

"OW!" Inamar yelps! "Gedditoffme gedditoffame!" She slaps at it and dances madly about, trying to dislodge the scurrying rodent!
(er...not sure what that means, mechanically.
I'd say either some attempt to get it out of her square, grapple or bull rush maybe...or just total defense for the round )

Inamar starts swatting at the rat trying to keep it off her. Thelso grabs at the rat, too quick for its snapping jaws, and snatches it by the scruff of the neck. With a quick toss he hurls the rat away to the vine covered floor.
Weylan stabs at one of the two writhing rats but their speed and his precarious position keep them safe though he manages to hold onto the vine supporting him.
NR4ZN clangs one arms against his metallic thigh and squishes another rat as he looks up at his companions concernedly.
The rat Thelso flung scrambles up and races towards Inamar, but as it leaps he lashes out with his spear and skewers it in midair before it lands on her.
Weylan tries to twist as the rats scramble over him and he manages to keep one off balance, but the other nips him again as he clings to the vine, an easy target hanging from the wall.

Weylan [13/16 hp]
Seeing as he can't effectively fight the rats while clinging to the vines, and that the way back up is blocked by his companions, Weylan climbs down another 10' then lets go of the vines, dropping to the ground.
OOC: Two move actions at 5' each to climb down another 10'. Three rounds of climbing means he's (assuming I'm counting correctly anyway) 30' down the 40' shaft. Tumble +6 vs DC 15 to absorb the remaining 10' of falling damage. Should the tumble check fail, Weylan will activate his Resilience racial ability to negate the majority of the damage (i.e., If damage is 2-3 - 1pp, 4-5 - 2pp, 6 - 3pp)

Upon killing the second rat Thelso will immediatly go and check on the status of Weylan and Ennar. Seeing that Weylan is going to the bottom of this hole and two rats remaining in the way down, Thelso will once again pick up his crossbow. Placing his Spear back in its proper place, and begin taking aim at one of the two rats in the hole.
