Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Voadam]

Thelso grabs his crossbow and moves over to the edge of the pit, putting aside his spear into its carrier but not dropping it.

Inamar's hand crackles with energy and a bolt flies off to smash into a rat on Weylan which drops twitching from his body to bounce off the tunnel wall and roll down to the bottom.

Weylan has enough of the limited mobility and swiftly moves down then drops cat like to the cavern floor tumbling as goes rolling with the fall and landing unhurt below.

[Pyrex]

Weylan [13/16 hp]

Now that he no longer has to worry about holding onto the vines, Weylan goes after the rats in earnest.

 

[chakken98]

Having taken proper aim Thelso will fire an bolt at one of the rats. Hoping his aim is true.

 

[Voadam]

NR4ZN smashes at one of the rats swarming on him but the swift rodent is able to get out of the way of the warzoder's metallic fist which merely bounces off his own shin plate with a metallic clang that removes some paint.

The rats on him continue to chitter and chew but to no real effect on the metal giant.

The one left on weylan climbs up his chest to attempt to go for his throat but with his feet firmly under him the soulknife is able to fend it off before it finds purchase in his flesh.

Thelso loads and fires his crossbow and his aim is dead true, one of the rats on NR4ZN is skewered and goes flying off his shoulder plate. Two rats remain scurrying on his metal frame.

Inamar fires another crackling bolt but this time the eldritch energy misses and crackles harmlessly as it discharges into the earthen tunnel wall.

Weylan lashes out with his mindblade and impales the last rat upon him, the one whose jaws are red with his blood.

[Pyrex]

Having scraped off the last rat that was crawling on him, Weylan turns his attention to those climbing around NR4ZN, looking for an opening to slice them clear.

 

[Shayuri]

"These rats are insane!" Inamar exclaims as she aims another gout of indigo light at the rodent-covered 'voder. "I mean, we had rats on my world, but they'd never think of being this aggressive there. Usually they run away if you just shine a light on them."

(another blast at a rat on NZ)

 

[Voadam]

Peering closely at the rats close up without the distractions of hanging from a vine and trying to fend off their jaws, Weylan notices the eyes of the two rats seem to have a glassy expression to them even as they frenetically scramble over the warzoder and gnaw at its metal frame.

 

[Pyrex]

"These rats are insane!"

"Possible, but poison or disease is more likely given their expression and relentlessness."

 

[Voidrazor]

As its companions aim blows at the remaining rat, NR4ZN holds it's arm up and turns to shield the furry attacker. "No need my lords. I am impervious to its efforts, but likely not your focused energy projections. And perhaps a live specimen would help Thelso rule out infection."

 

[chakken98]

"If its possible to get a live specimen I could see if it is indeed plauge ridden. But if we cannot then so be it." Carefully aiming at any remaining rats he will loose another bolt from his crossbow.

*note* should there only be one rat remaining Thelso will not fire hope that Ennar or Welyan will capture the rat to be inspected for contaigons*
