Its a trap!
As NR4ZN strides into the room towards the pit, several large evil looking rats spring out from hiding places as he passes the makeshift nest/bed and crates. The zoder is caught by surprise as a three and a half foot tall bipedal rat thing jumps from a hiding place to stab with a silvery white stone blade into the zoder's exposed joints in his torso causing apparently horrific damage as lightning flares out of the zoder's body. The rat thing's eyes flash with glowing red light as it plunges its dagger into the zoder. The red light flares then subsides.
Two large evil looking rats, slightly smaller than the ones in the maze, spring forth and engage the zoder from the other side, but are unable to get past his metallic hide.
Three other large evil looking rats jump out behind the zoder to cut him off and maneuver to engage the rest of the party.
Init!

5 evil rats 22

Thelso 18
Snarl 13
Weylan 12
The bipedal rat hisses a squeaking command at the two failing to get through NR4ZN's armor plates and they disengage to go join their comrades with the rest of the party. It then stabs again with the blade cutting between armor plates into the zoder's innards causing another flare of lightning within the zoder's body.
The three engage, attacking Thelso, Snarl, and Weylan.
Thelso takes a vicious bite from the two foot long rat on his left wrist before he can properly react.
The badger bats away the rat with a snarl as it lunges for his throat. The rat hisses in return
Weylan is caught by the snapping jaws of the third rat and a painful bite lands on his calf from the two foot long beastie.

Weylan, 14/16hp [10/16rp], 3/5pp
OOC: I'm assuming that enough time has passed since the last battle for our Reserve Points to have kicked in (and for Weylan to have recovered his Psionic Focus).
As the rats jump out and attack NR, Weylan slides into a defensive stance; settling in for a long fight. Making sure to stay clear of the rats teeth & claws, Weylan takes a moment to wrap himself in a field of defensive force then positions himself next to Thelso & the badger to keep the rats away from Inamar.
OOC2: Expend Psionic Focus on the Concentration check to Manifest Defensively to activate Force Screen. 5' step as needed to close gaps to keep the rats forward.
OOC3: It's a trap!

Sparks and oily black smoke gushing from its torso NR4ZN stumbles back. There is a horrible wrenching sound as the robot struggles to bring its tree trunk in line to defend itself. "Al..[BREEAK] [SQEEE]..ge [static]."
OOC: Yikes! down to 1 HP. Taking a withdraw action and hoping to catch the rat-man with an AoO and Large and In Charge.

With a startled yelp, Inamar backs away from the approaching rats. The moving runes on her skin flash as she hurls a violet burst of energy at the nearest rat! There is a sizzling sound and the violet energy slows as if hitting water but pushes through to sizzle into the large evil looking thing attacking Thelso, wounding it. It's eyes flare a red glowing light and it snarls at Inamar, focusing its malevolent attention upon her.
Sparks and oily black smoke gushing from its torso NR4ZN stumbles back to the side of the room putting some space between itself and the ferocious armed rat thing, little as it is. There is a horrible wrenching sound as the robot struggles to bring its tree trunk in line to defend itself. "Al..[BREEAK] [SQEEE]..ge [static]."
Thelso snaps with his jaws causing the rat to draw back for a moment, and then stabs with his spear but the beastie easily evades the dover's strikes.
The badger steps up to the rat it batted aside and slashes it with both claws, drawing a little blood. Its snarling jaws do not clamp down on the rat's neck though as the rat's eyes flare with a glowing red light and it begins to dodge nimbly, hissing at the badger.

Making sure to stay clear of the rats teeth & claws, Weylan takes a moment to wrap himself in a field of defensive force then positions himself next to Thelso & the badger to keep the rats away from Inamar.
The rat thing turns its head to the rest of the party and says “Eu sou sangue-suiça Gannu e os osso-pés mestres fizeram-me toda poderoso! Você não alcançará o prisioneiro. A criação dos osso-pés mestres será terminada apesar de suas tentativas de interferir. Meus filhos mantê-lo-ão ocupado quando eu fizer exame seu empregado da parte separada pela parte na frente de você.”
Weylan [sblock]It is speaking in goblin and saying "I am blood-whisker Gannu and Master bone-legs has made me all powerful! You will not reach the prisoner. Master bone-legs' creation will be completed despite your attempts to interfere. My sons will keep you occupied while I take your servant apart piece by piece in front of you."[/sblock]
It then rushes NR4ZN who strikes with his tree trunk. The rat thing is incredibly swift, but it is recklessly charging and NR4ZN just catches the little creature knocking it back tumbling in a roll from which it springs up, instantly on its feet. The rat thing looks minorly wounded, but not nearly as severely as the impact should have warranted. The rat thing gives off an evil chuckle. “Um empregado forte. Você lamentará quando eu o destruo.”
Weylan [sblock]"A strong servant. You will wail when I destroy it."[/sblock]
The first rat strikes again at Thelso but the dover is on guard now and keeps out of reach of the snapping jaws.
The second manages to clamp down on the badger causing a bark of angry pain that seems to set the badger off into a snarling frenzy.
Weylan's maneuvering managed to block the path back to Inamar and prevent the last two rats from engaging, but even his newly erected psionic defense does not stop the determined rat from catching him with another painful nip.
The last two rats stand behind their brethren, eager to join the fray but frustrated at pressing forward. They do further block the party from maneuvering in to aid NR4ZN though.

The standing rat was stopped 10' from NR4ZN and is within striking distance of the zoder's club. NR4ZN has only 5 it can maneuver away from the rat thing before the walls and pit of rats prevent further movement.
