Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Pyrex]

Weylan, 8/16hp [10/16rp], 3/5pp

Weylan makes a sweeping strike with his mindblade before diving for the opposite edge of the swarm, trying to prevent them from being able to engulf everyone at once.

OOC: Attack then move clear of the swarm away from Inamar.

 

[Voidrazor]

NR4ZN continues stomping amidst the swarm. Using its great reach, the robot makes another wild circular sweep with the body it still holds, in an attempt to discourage the rats from going to either side.

 

[Voadam]

Inamar and Thelso stumble out of the swarm of rats, nauseated and disabled by the experience. Weylan stabs with his mindblade, skewering a few rats then ducks out himself on the opposite side so that not all can be overcome by the swarm if it shifts position.

The swarm seems to be content massing over NR4ZN and the corpse, two are even gnawing on the rat-thing's face. NR4ZN stomps and sweeps the body around and killing many rats swarming over him.

The swarm masses around the warzoder for another space, then there is a high pitched keening from the rats atop the rat thing and the mass of rats seems to break up, flowing over the warzoder, moving past him and fleeing up the tunnel towards the pool chamber and the mud maze beyond.


ooc the swarm did 4 more damage, absorbed by NR4ZN then moved on.

 

[Shayuri]

(mew...did Inamar take that damage too? I need to double check her damage count when I get home...)

 

[Shayuri]

Inamar, almost sobbing with relief, half slumps against the slick, muddy wall of the tunnel, holding her hands to her mouth and shivering violently.

 

[Pyrex]

Weylan takes a look down the other tunnel, wondering what spooked the rats.

"Inamar, are you all right?"

 

[Shayuri]

Hands still shaking a bit, Inamar moves to brush herself off, a pair of tears just barely streaking the sides of her cheeks. She furiously wipes them away.

"I hate rats," she spits fervantly in answer to Weylan's question.

 

[Pyrex]

"Can't say as I blame you. Thelso? NR? Are you ok as well?"

 

[Voadam]

Thelso grunts in return, looking haggard and blood still leaks from several of the gashes on his legs.

The tunnel the rats fled down appears to be the only one leading out of the chamber. As Weylan looks back the opposite direction from whence the rats fled his eyes are drawn to the pit in the back of the chamber. The rope that stuck out of the pit is jerking and thrashing every couple of seconds now.

 

[Shayuri]

Inamar tries casting a spell, covering her wounds with her hands...and swears when there's only a tiny flash of energy, insufficient to the task.

"I can't heal anymore! There's not enough magic in me to make it work!"

She looks at Weylan again, and sees him looking at something else.

"What is it?"
