And yet ... as the attack strikes home on Alpha, during his cries of pain, he condenses his psionic energy to dull the wounds as best as he can, but its obvious to his allies (and possibly his enemies) that he's carrying on through sheer willpower and nothing more. He almost went unconscious but somehow manages to keep awake.

R8T20.2: Gamma sees Delta go down and immediately takes the lead. With Delta down, and Alpha running on pure willpower, he knows there's only one option left. "Paxre, Beta, get out of here. This is a lost fight. Save yourselves. Don't worry about me.

With his first, and probably last order as the replacement leader of the Epsilon Elite, he turns to the nearest Wererat, and begins lashing out, drawing upon his deepest reserves of strength to hold him off. But the dwarf isn't thinking straight anymore in his anguish and his attack is so wild that he is having trouble seeing his enemies. Gamma is definitely winded by everything.

Attack the Darkness: All of your enemies have concealment from you for a short period (you don't know the length).
Recovery: You may continue to make a DC 20 Will save each round (if you don't, that's fine, I will) to recover, or it lasts whatever the duration might be.

R8T20.1: Beta growls, drawing upon his internal energy to grant himself a massive burst of speed, he starts to bolt away from the combat. Gamma's opponent manages to throw out an AOO but misses the superhumanly fast oread. With his alacrity, he easily manages to keep his footing though it is slower than he'd care. Still, he is still so fast he moves through the "tunnel," just barely notices Paxre hidden in his cloak of darkness, and Beta turns the corner, steps up onto the main walkway of the sewer outside and is well on his way. It's a lost cause and he agrees, although it pains him to do so. As he retreats, he swears to himself that he'll be back to gain vengeance for his fallen comrades.

"Go after him!" hisses Girrigz to those without an enemy to fight. "Don't let him get away!"

R8T19.9: Omega's old enemy takes off down the way. Gamma manages to hit him with an AOO as he goes by, but even with his power attack it is not enough to hurt the rat. He never even saw it coming. Paxre practically melts out of the darkness from the wall and slices into the rat with his silver katana and sever's the wererats left hand. From instantaneous blood loss, shock, accruing wounds, and the accursed metal, the wererat is killed instantly.

R8T19.8: Coming in right behind him (and Gamma already used his AOO) is Layl. She comes right up to Paxre. Seeing her dehanded, dead comrade face-down in the muck, she stops in prep to fight him instead of trying to get past him after Beta.

R8T19.7: Another wererat, very badly wounded, comes up next to Layl. "SILVER!!" he screams.

R8T19.5: Paxre, Gamma gave the order to retreat, and Beta just zoomed past you and you could hear his footsteps continuing down the corridor. You are facing two wererats. One is a female with a minor wound; the other is badly wounded and doesn't like the fact he now faces a silver-wielder. What do you do?

Rat swarm on deck, Muhrbala in the hole ...
