R8T20.3: Alpha looks around in shock, seeing his dead comrade Delta. Across the muck river lies Omega but Alpha isn't sure about him. In a fit of rage, Alpha summons up the full extent of his power, concentrating carefully that he manage to manifest without leaving himself open. As the flame develops around his hand to shoot, as Alpha aims and is just at the point of firing, the wererat above him hears the energies and feels the heat gathering beneath him and stabs down into the forearm of the offending arm for 10. Alpha screams terribly as a partial ray of flame goes wildly off shot. Alpha once again is out and bleeding.

R8T20.2: Gamma, Alpha went on grit and emotion, but he was foolish in trying to use an aimed psionic attack while prone at an enemies' feet. Still, it might have been the best he could have hoped for. Hindsight be damned, the fact is Alpha is once again bleeding out. You are swarmed by rats and fighting a wererat. What do you do?
