    Default Re: Seven Days to the Grave [DMOOCH]

    R4T26: Beta roars out loud, "Gamma, protect Alpha, i'm going for Omega!!"

    Beta has no problem practically skating across the muck (and not over Alpha as he does so) and dives down the hole, rolling to soften his landing. He turns to launch an assault at the nearest Wererat. His first strike smacks across its armor but not enough to really get the man-rat. The second attack is a side-hammer to its left shoulder with what should have been a nice blow, and yet it seems to have no effect.

    R4T25.9: A shrill, high-pitched sound that is pretty loud screams away from the far corner of the room, on the other side of were the whererats are. The only person that is close enough to really hear it full strength loudly is Alpha, but the vizier's focus easily keeps his ears from feeling overwhelmed. There is the rat swarm on Alpha, but they don't seem affected by it.

    R4T25.8: Alpha is subjected to hundreds of rats gnawing and biting him and he takes 5.

    R4T20: A wererat easily hops over the muck to the south side of Alpha and seems unaffected by the noise. He stabs down to the prone elan and gives him a ragged wound to the head for 4. It doesn't seem to be a bad wound in and of itself, but nothing bleeds like the scalp ... and Alpha suffers an additional 3 bleed.

    R4T19: Gamma is also plagued (pun intended) by rats, though his armor and being prone in the water helps him only suffer 1.

    R4T17.9: Delta, your pit seemed to be a fine maneuver ... you hope. At least in containing how many opponents can get to Omega, and now Beta. You don't have a line to any target, though. Gamma is prone 10' in front of you (in the tunnel), and Alpha is prone 10' beyond that (in the main room). Both are in their own rat swarms. What do you do?

    Gamma on deck, wererats in the pit are .... well .... in the hole (literally) ...

    R4T17.9: Delta grumbles a bit, he had hoped not to get his allies separated, but at least it seems like he may have lightened the load a bit on the attacks. He quickly summons up his arcane power to bring a giant, celestial frog into the fray, calling it into being in the muck near the known wererat. Delta has to point vaguely around the corner and tell it to kill (how you verbalize that succintly for a simple command is up to you). The frog jumps off of the muck and out of Delta's view. There is the sound of the frog's bellowing, and Alpha and Gamma sees it miss its target on the south side next to Alpha.

    R4T17: Gamma growls at the swarm at his feet, closing the distance between him and Alpha carefully, he turns to face the nearest attacker, hoping to draw their attention away from Alpha. This puts him just out of the tunnel, and he feels a clink on his powerful armor as to the right of him there was a wererat waiting to attack.

    R4T15-14: The female wererat, still prone like everyone else down in this pit hits against Omega's armor. Her flanking fellow likewise attacks but Omega furiously fights for his life.

    R4T10: Paxre, you are all the way back, across the sewer "river" and on the far walkway. What do you do?

    R4T10: It's not creative, but Paxre casts a healing spell on himself which once again is rerouted to Omega, but for a paltry 5.

    R4T9.9: Muhrbala dive-bombs a pit-rat and nails him with a nasty sting to his calf for mod 5 before ascending out of range again.

    R4T9.7: A wererat moves up by Alpha, who is prone in the muck and flanked by a rat on the south side (though that one is also facing off against a giant frog and now Gamma is cattie-corner to both) and stabs down with his sword. Gamma is there to take his aim wide and slams the wererat in the ear with the pommel on one side and the shield on the other. It doesn't appear to do any specific physical damage, but there are trickles of blood coming from the ear now. The rat seems to be a little disoriented.

    R4T4: Gamma gets hit in his upper swordarm by a bolt for 11. He looks and to the north of the chamber is that sniper crossbowrat, who promptly disappears from view again.

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

    R5T26: Beta, it is a purely sloppy melee down here in the pit. Omega just got a little more healing again, but not much. Either someone is running out of more powerful healing, or they feel they need to conserve. Either way it means healing resources might be diminishing. You, Omega, and two wererats are all down at the bottom of the pit and prone. You've each been hacking at the other without getting up. You still have that short sword in your hand. What do you do?

    R5T26: Beta takes a deep breath, focusing his energies within himself, a layer of his psionic power pushing out from him as his energy drew into himself, giving him renewed power.

    R5T25.9-.8: The high-pitched noise continues. Meanwhile, Alpha takes 5 from the rat swarm.

    R5T20.5: Omega ... you, Beta, and two wererats are prone down in the pit. You are being flanked as you are rolling around in a messy combat. You had previously marked one of the rats. What do you do?

    R5T20.5: Omega pulls himself up to his feet, but not before one of the wererats stabs him in the chest for 12. The wound leaves him woozy but he still manages to steady himself on his feet as he launches an ineffective straight punch at his attacker,. He focuses his stance to better protect himself as he slides to mitigate their advantageous position, stepping over his prone enemy to stand next to Beta.

    Because you didn't define which version of the obsidian reflection stance you are using, I am using the fluff "to better protect himself" to assume he is invoking the second form to make him harder to hit, the penalty to all w/in 20' (only affects you, Beta, and the two wererats down in this pit).

    R5T20.3: To clear himself from the rat swarm, Alpha rolls out of the muck to the south side next to the wererat that is also fighting the giant frog, but not before he is stabbed in his right leg for 6. The other one also tried to stab but caught himself (he's not strong enough to overcome his own supernatural protection). His protective veil diminishes greatly, causing great pain as Alpha's wounds mostly catch up to him but he belches forth flame to do 15 fire to the swarm, a great effect though the rat swarm still is strong.

    You lost 10 hit points by dropping the girdle from 2E to 0 E, and you and Omega are both in a world of hurt.

    R5T20: The wererat that just struck at Alpha attacks again but Alpha ducks out of the way.

    R5T19: Gamma takes 3 from his rat swarm and they are getting everywhere, distracting him.

    R5T17.91: The frog bites the wererat, hard, but with no effect.

    R5T17.9: Delta, you no longer see your frog and you have no idea of how it is doing. You have a clear view only along the muck line, including two rat swarms, Gamma, and the pit. What do you do?

    R5T17.9: Delta groans. The fight is not going their way and he is powerless to help, he takes a step forward as if to help, but seeing the swarming rats and having no idea what else is really about, he holds his position.

    R5T17: Gamma backs up slowly, practically rolling on his butt to get out of the muck stream, but this time on the south side, taking his steps careful as he tries to keep his focus. He knows how this fight is going and tries to get out of the swarm. His brilliant defense just knocks away the rat's sword that is now adjacent to him, whereas the rat that was on the other side has the pommel of his short sword sent away by Gamma's shield that thwacks him in the face (but he is otherwise fine). Sometimes, even when being swarmed by rats one can have great luck on their defense. Gamma is now free (for now).

    R5T15: The female wererat called Layl tries to get up, which opens her up to attacks from Beta and Omega. The former slashes her in the left lower leg with as powerful a blow as his claws can possibly make without getting a critical ... and it is still not enough to hurt her. The latter hopes to make that lucky shot, but likewise hits with a light blow for no damage. Now standing in front of Omega, she stabs with her short sword ...

    Omega, as wounded as you are, do you use your spilled salt counter against her attack?

    R5T15 (Cont'd): As the rat attacks at Omega with her sword, Omega responds by letting loose his dark impulses, hoping to force her luck to fail and protect himself in the process. Layl's blow goes awry with the curse.

    R5T14: At the same instant, Layl's comrade gets up but Beta and Omega were already focused against Layl. He stabs at Omega but is blocked by the latter's forcestrike vambrace.

    R5T10: Paxre, you are finally up. What do you do?

    R5T10: Paxre loads a silver bolt, moves up to just in front of Delta "No way am I going in there as long as those rats are there, Alpha!" teeps Paxre.

    First move action was to move, the second was to load the crossbow. You have no time to ready the shot.

    R5T9.9: Muhrbala flies out of the pit and with a quick look comes right behind the wererat facing Alpha and a giant frog and stings him right in the center of the lower spine for 15 mod! He holds his back in pain, and then drops.

    R5T9.7: With his chance of flanking now gone, the wererat across from Gamma moves down several feet, hops across easily, and then comes around to now face Gamma from the south (putting Gamma's back at the muck), but can't even begin to make it past Gamma's defenses.

    R5T4: That damn sniper to the north of the cavern (still within 30') gets Alpha along the neck for 10.

    End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

    R6T27: Just when it couldn't get any worse, it gets a lot worse. A lot. Something moves in with incredible stealth and speed to launch over the muck and land right where the wererat that just fell was standing. It happens so quickly, that Alpha didn't even get a chance to get a pot shot in. *THUD!* Alpha looks up to see a large wererat ... easily 6-1/2 feet tall and significantly more muscular than his brethrens ... standing there, wielding a gleaming rapier. Yet, this is only the general sense of things, for this wererat with a faintly glowing forcefield around him is hard to see from a high-speed shifting of its form. Now flanked (again), Alpha sees that he will not stand for long. The monster looms in and bites Alpha in his upper arm - breaking it with a snap and bloody for 20 - and Alpha's world goes black. It all happened so quickly, he couldn't even utter a cry (vocal or telepathic).

    R6T26: Beta, you don't know Alpha's condition (you don't get "static on the line"), but you have your own problems to worry about, anyway. You are getting pounded, and Omega is running on fumes. The fact that everyone is on their feet and there is no longer a flanking situation is the only balm. What do you do?

    The rat swarm that was on Alpha on deck, Omega in the hole ...

    Since Alpha is immediately following Omega, go ahead and roll either an Autohypnosis or CON stabilization check for Alpha.

    CORR: Alpha shocked in surprise by the attack takes the blow and starts to lose his focus, but grits his teeth as his psionic energy releases itself to ward off the pain, giving him a few more moments of consciousness as he fights through the pain.

    Beta growls out loud at the wererats, his claws flashing as he questions his options. He turns to Omega and then back to his foes. He drops his stance and yells out, choosing the only option he has left after hearing Alpha's pain over the collective. "Who among you is the leader of your group! We want to speak of terms for surrender!!!"

    Over the collective, the statement is relayed to all the conscious members at the same time, and Delta responds back over it immediately. "What are you thinking Beta? They'll kill us all before letting us leave!!!"

    Before he gets to continue, Beta interrupts him. "They'll kill us anyways. We weren't equipped for this, and we really should have been before making this excursion. At this point, the only thing we can do is negotiate with the knowledge that letting us live will allow them all to live. It's the only way I can think for more than one of two of us to survive."

    Omega follows after Beta. "I agree. We need your skill with words to save us all. Only you can do it."

    R6T26: Delta sighs, and as soon as the conversation ends, he moves around the corner revealing himself to the wererats and calls out. "Will your leader negotiate with us? We'd rather avoid a loss of life on both sides."

    "Delta,"
    teeps Paxre. "Get rid of that pit."


    R6T25.9: The shrieker stops a hair after Delta, but a second or two might be needed to determine if the wererats heard the message or not.

    R6T25.8: Rats continue to swarm around Alpha and he takes 2 and is disabled.

    Omega presumably delays for a response.

    R6T20.3: In the split time before a possible response from the enemy, as he is disabled and swarmed by rats .... what does Alpha do?

    Rat swarm on Gamma on deck, Delta's frog and Delta in the hole (though it is assumed that the latter will delay for a response) ...

    R6T20.3: Alpha's focus begins to fade as the swarming rats continue to overwhelm him, and with the last bit of his ability, summons up his power to relocate himself to safety. Once he appears closer to Delta, where he feels he may be safe, he coughs hard, spitting up blood, and collapses forward, his consciousness failing.

    R6T19: Gamma's swarm moves across the muck and continues to swarm him for 2 from rat nibbles, but with his great dwarven resilience manages he brings his concentration back to fighting trim (no longer nauseated/ distracted).

    R6T17.91: Delta's giant frog attacks a wererat fruitlessly ...

    R6T17.1: The wererat who previously was facing Gamma (before the latter moved to the south of the muck) pauses ...

    R6T17: Gamma, you witnessed one rat pause ... likely for direction from a leader ... you are swarmed ... and Alpha just dropped. What do you do? If you cast a spell, it might be seen as a hostile action before the intent of any spell might be known.

    Girrigz launches himself across the spanning feet to Delta and bites the Epsilon Elite's de facto leader along the abdomen for 10 (max)!

    The pit's bottom lurches and rises up until it blends with the stone and muck above and disappears. As luck would have it, Beta (prone) and Omega are now on the N side of the small channel, on solid ground, while their two opponents are standing in the muck.

    R7T25.8: With Alpha gone, his bunch of rats sniff new prey and splash through the muck and onto the N side to encompass Beta and Omega. Beta slashes along his level at the floor, and his claws do 3 mod as he carves through a couple rats. Omega whallops a large group for 8 (and 3 NL) and that is enough to finally break up the swarm into fleeing rats! Only the rat swarm on Gamma is in play (as far as swarms go).

    R7T20.5: Omega, you are not in the muck ... next to prone Beta ... and facing off against two wererats. Negotiations have failed. What do you do?

    Delta, Beta, and Gamma are delaying ... any actions for them?

    R7T20.5: Omega turns to Layl, charging his strength into a punch that he aims to launch into her gut, the dark power releasing out to try and disable her for a moment. It is a solid hit, and the force generated by the guru's masterful strike does 2 mod as he focuses his ki forth into the strike as well. But even with their augmented physique, each and every one of Girrigz' band are survivalists that have made a living in the toughest conditions with the worst food. She easily withstands Omega's stunning strike.

    R7T20.4: Now sure that the negotiations have failed, Delta backs away, taking the expected attack from Girrigz as he gets as far away from him as possible.

    "Where are you going, little one?" Girrigz hisses and then bites low to graze Delta in the stomach for 5 (min).

    Once safe, Delta launches out his thoughts among the collective. "Paxre, Epsilon Elite, we need to get Alpha back up. We may still be able to break them by taking out that leader." As he speaks to his group, he holds out his hand, a shot of magic leaping out of it to attempt to strike Girrigz squarely, but not before the sniper - readied for something like this, shoots Delta in the buttocks for 11. The sniper once again is exposed, and takes time to reload rather than hide or reposition (though he does have cover from the rocky wall).

    He tilts his head in a smile. "Was that supposed to weaken me or something, hmmm? Know your enemy. We're rats. We don't weaken."

    R7T20.3: Alpha continues to bleed ...

    R7T20.2: Gamma focuses and controls his energy, trying to spread it out to save the young elan's (second) life, but in trying to take care from being exposed (and the constant gnawing pain of the rats), he loses the extraordinary amount of healing energy he attempted to channel through his mental powers.

    R7T20.1: Beta lashes out at the nearest wererat, more as a distraction if anything as the enemy dodges, and Beta vanishes, appearing a few feet away, where he safely flips up to his feet, now ready to fight once more (10' from Layl, which she can close w/ 5' step).

    R7T19.9-.7: The three wererats that were delaying now burst into action. Gamma's opponent fails to get through the armor. Layl tries to acrobatically get around Omega; she gets into position less adroitly than desired, but Omega misses her with his AOO. Omega, now flanked by Layl and her friend try to bring the pain. She stabs him deep in the very lower abdomen, almost the groin itself, doing 10 and disabling the guru. Her partner misses with his blade, but his bite .... doesn't. It is a critical strike, combined with his sneaky survivalist tactics and hatred of humans that does 24 as Omega's right rachial artery is torn from upper to lower arm, killing Omega outright. His veils all unshape, and the psychic feedback of Omega's death careens through the collective to Gamma. Gamma saw this horrible blow just in time to steel his mind and body against the shock; Omega is obviously no longer part of the collective, but neither is Gamma harmed from his loss.

    R7T19.5: Paxre, until now you had been delaying. There is no "dial tone" for anyone's life except for Gamma (which you don't know), and way out in the hallway you don't know about Omega's death. What do you do?

    R7T19.5: Paxre has no illusions that he can take out the big one. And with too many enemies in the other room, it's not likely he can even take out one rat ... or that it would matter if he could. He uses his cloak of darkness (still active) to sink back against the stone. "No way I'm going in there. Gamma, some healing coming your way. Send it where you can. Get out of there."

    As the healing comes his way, Gamma circles it around towards Alpha (9 PE), trying to get him back up. "We're not getting out safely. There's no way I can run out well, although you, Delta, and Beta stand a chance. The only way I could escape is if we break their morale"

    Alpha regains consciousness, and "hears" the above.

    R7T19: Gamma continues to get gnawed upon by rats for 2.

    R7T9.9: The wererat that felled Omega starts and hisses in pain as he takes 7 mod in his upper left arm and Muhrbala - appearing - flies up out of reach. This wererat is beginning to look winded - definitely in the red.

    R7T9.7: The wererat that was facing Gamma - even though in the muck - makes a brilliant tumble out of Gamma's reach onto the south side, past Delta, and is now flanking Delta with Girrigz and hamstrings the half-elf for 9, and putting Delta in the red. (Red means last 1/4 hit points ... not negative hit points.)

    End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

    R8T27: It is as bad as it could be - cruel timing. No sooner does a wererat come in with a good flanking strike on Delta, than Girrigz takes advantage of this and stabs Delta deep in the stomach with his silver rapier. It is a sharp pain that quickly dulls as the wererat leader runs Delta all the way through to the hilt. His hate-filled eyes look deep into the half-elf's own. Girrigz almost bites for spite but stops and sniffs for a second. "Too bad. It seems I already sealed your doom with my last bite."

    Delta's excellent mind has trouble understanding this until his last thought is that had this mortal wound not occurred, he would have been reduced to a wererat's miserable existence. It goes dark, and the Epsilon Elite's de facto leader is gone.

    Gamma's compassion and fortitude can only take so much. He receives the psychic feedback of Delta's passing as the loss of life continues. Gamma loses 4 pp (power points) and he he reels in shock (sickened, sheet updated except for ability check modifiers).

    "You!" Girrigz points to the sniper. "Drop it, draw it, and get in it!"

    R8T20.5: The former sniper does just that. He drops his crossbow, and rushes down and leaps across the muck while drawing his short sword. Gamma manages to swing and hit him but for no effect. Likewise, the wererat can't get past Gamma's armor.

    R8T20.3: Alpha, now that you are awake, what do you do? A wererat is right next to you (and probably doesn't yet realize you have regained consciousness), and Girrigz is 10' from him. Delta lies in-between them, and from the shock of his rictus, wide-open eyes, and dilated pupils, you are pretty sure that your friend is gone. What do you do?

    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?

    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?

    R8T19.5: Paxre, seeing a chance to do a little more harm, goes all out. His katana is stopped by the wererat's masterwork studded leather. The first claw almost gets through the armor, but the wererat dodges the second claw.

    R8T19: Gamma takes 6 (max) from the rat swarm, but his reduced conscious state has the odd effect of making him hard to distract with physical pain ... he's already distracted by grief and mild confusion.

    R8T9.9: Muhrbala speeds like a dart down the tunnel and behind Layl. With a flanking opportunity, he manages to get her in the left elbow for 2 mod. That's all Murray needed. "Ow," she says, somewhat surprised ... and then she begins to fall. Murray did this mid-flight and moves behind the other wererat. In the span of half-a-second that wererat lashes out with his short sword but the flying creature is no longer there ... but with a critical hit he accidentally stabs Layl in her mouth, piercing her tongue, for 10 mod and 1 CON.

    R8T9.7: In the other room, the wererat looming over Alpha hisses. "Die, damn you. Why won't you die?!"

    He stabs Alpha in his arm for 8 on a crit, and the sword is stuck in the elan's arm (with the wererat) still holding. This time, however, Alpha's racial resilience cannot help him. The rat nips him in the haunches for 4 (min, incl min sneak attack). Alpha is now bleeding out ... and the short sword is still stuck in his arm.
    Spoiler: All in the Timing :(

    Since this opponent got him on an AOO the first time on Alpha's action, initiative hasn't come back around to Alpha for him to regain his IA on this wererat's actual turn.

    End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

    R9T27:
    Girrigz sees the short sword stuck in the "dead" ... human? (Doesn't smell right.) He shakes his head. "Quit playing with your food!"

    He turns to the only other hero left in the chamber. "Now dwarf, let us see if I can't pry that tin can off of you."

    He easily zips across the water to Gamma, flanking with the warpriest's other enemy. Gamma, already having trouble seeing, doesn't really notice the blurring effect so much on the wererat leader. He whips downwards to make a surprising bite on Gamma's left shin and calf for a crushing 18, bringing Gamma into the red.

    R9T20.5: Now, also with flanking, the other wererat things he has a chance, but his short sword is unable to find a weakness.

    R9T20.3: It is small comfort, and likely to not amount to much, but for what little bit can be helped Alpha's mind protects his body and he ceases to bleed (though a sword is still stuck in him and he is unconscious).

    R9T20.2: Gamma swings wildly towards Girrigz, the only enemy he can see clearer than the others, only to have his swing stopped by a masterwork chain shirt. Hopefully he can distract them long enough to let Paxre and Beta escape, but he doesn't see himself surviving. As his final "words," he broadcasts these to the remaining survivors, his final thoughts. "Paxre, Beta, save yourselves, and live your lives for our sakes. Take the life that was not squandered here and do something worthy with it. I expect to meet you in the afterlife after you've lived a long fulfilling life, both of you." With his final words spent, he prepares himself for the end of his own life, having already accepted it.

    R9T19.5: Paxre's not giving up the kill against an enemy that's about to fall, is flanked, and he might face again later. He does a full attack, but the muck-brook has a greater effect on him since he's smaller and with the wererat's dawning realization that he is in a bad way, he is parrying like Blackjack himself.

    R9T19: The rat swarm only does 1 to Gamma. As a cruel cosmic joke, had Gamma survived this battle, he actually would have fallen ill to filth fever from the diseased bites. He is not nauseated.

    R9T9.9: "Pax," comes Murray's teep-voice. "Alpha, Omega, and Delta are dead. Gamma will fall with the next blow, no doubt. Beta ran away. I'm ready when you are, but let's tooth these two before we're done unless you think it's good to stink around. I'll follow your play."

    The wererat is stung in the left knee for 3 mod from the pain, but the poison does its work and the wererat falls.

    R9T9.7: Alpha's last enemy removes his short sword from the finally-finished foe and jumps into the muck-brook, getting right up behind Muhrbala.

    End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

    R10T27: Girrigz stabs Gamma in the upper right brachial artery to kill him outright. The connection to Gamma is severed, and Paxre knows it.

    Girrigz ... then gets up next to the other new combatant behind Muhrbala. It went from a turkey-shoot for the little guys, to a mess of trouble.

    R10T20.5: Things are going from bad to worse as the other of Gamma's opponents squeaks to the rats and then ends up behind the other two, ready to fill in.

    Too excited to color your speech.
    R10T19.5: "I won't be denied the kill, Murray. Keep them occupied. I'm gonna make sure we don't face these two rat-finks later."

    Paxre easily slits the throat of the one that just fell. Two dead wererats.

    R10T19: The rat swarm goes into the water and swims down to envelop Paxre, doing 3. It's only now in this battle that Paxre senses some faint hardiness in his body that might help resist the disease and distraction.

    So, your Harrow reading actually gives you a +1 on all CON-related checks during this encounter. Also, don't forget your Harrow points if you want a boost. I will let you roll a Fort check for Disease (first), followed by Distraction (second). Do so OOC.

    Paxre feels a slight tingle as he gives himself over to mystic forces for a second. He can manage bravely despite the rats.

    R10T9.9: Muhrbala dares. Instead of facing the new threats, he goes to finish his kill (as he always does). He attempts a coup de grace on the female wererat, but not before an AOO from Girrigz and his companion. Both miss. Murray does 6 mod, though he's not sure if that did the trick or not.

    R10T9.7: The wererat accidentally pricks his skin with his short sword, but not enough to hurt, and he misses Murray with the bite.

    End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

    R11T27:
    Girrigz stabs at Murray and it almost looks as if his rapier would have skewered him, but there's the odd effect that Murray suddenly seems to be just offset of the weapon? A second time and the same thing. His bite is barely stopped by surprisingly hard pseudodragon scales.

    Pax is fine. Dramatic irony: the wererat that was dying has finally bled out and is dead. Good job Omega/ Beta.

    R10T9.9: Murray attacks Girrigz with his tail and swoops around behind him. Both of the other wererats miss on AOOs, but Girrigz is confounded by the little guy and count counterattack.

    R10T9.7: The wererat that was next to Girrigz withdraws forward so he is now threatening the partially-floating, vaguely humanoid-shaped rat swarm.

    End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

    R11T27: Girrigz spins around to attack. His bite actually connects for 8 (max).

    R11T20.5: The wererat in rear rank crosses diagonally to now flank Murray with Girrigz and misses attack.

    I screwed up, but I'll give it to you instead of retconning so you are torn apart. You were distracted, but managed to just barely hold out your concentration so that you drop your concentration (which includes holding your ki for vanishing trick) after the attack. Lucky, lucky you ...

    R13T19.5: Paxre, already distracted, loses his concentration and becomes visible, but is otherwise too nauseated to do anything.

    R13T19: Paxre takes 3 from the swarm ... and is distracted again.

    R13T9.9: Murray pops up into view behind Girrigz but Girrigz is wily and is not taken by surprise. Because Paxre is distracted and not threatening, Girrigz is technically not flanked either. Even with all that, Murrray still manages to catch him in the back but can't penetrate his lycan resistance.

    R13T9.7: Flanking wererat can't hit Paxre.

    End Round 13, Begin Round 14 ...

    R14T27: Girrigz doesn't give up his strategic position against Paxre, but he can't get his jaws on Paxre.

    R14T20.5: The wererat on the perimeter drops into the water. He re-emerges in the main branch, holding Girrigz' sword.

    R14T19.5: Paxre takes out his quickdraw shield.

    R14T19: Rat swarm does 3, continuing to distract Paxre.

    R14T9.9: Murray hovers and disappears from view.

    R14T9.7: Paxre is too squirrely for the wererat.

    End Round 14, Begin Round 15 ...

    R15T27: Girrigz bites deep into Paxre's shoulder for 20. In addition, it opens up a hole in the armor so Paxre suffers a -2 for this round, and the wound bleeds for 3. Paxre is barely standing.

    R15T20.5: The other wererat goes over to Girrigz to put his leader's rapier into his hand. Murray, who hadn't entirely fully disappeared, pops fully back into vision and stings the wererat but it's not enough. Girrigz now has his rapier again.

    R15T20: Back in the main chamber, the sleeping wererat continues to snooze.

    R15T19.5: Paxre, what do you do? You are bleeding heavily but only have 1 hit point and you are nauseated.

    See IC for Paxre's death and monologue.

    R15T19: Rat swarm will tear open Paxre, but otherwise is no longer a functional part of this battle ...

    R15T9.9: Muhrbala screehes and hisses, and then hovers at full defense.

    R15T9.7: Wererat closes (non-flanker) and misses.

    End Round 15, Begin Round 16 ...
    R16T27:
    Girrigz misses.
    R16T20.5: Flanker misses.
    R16T9.9: Murray has disappeared, but then pops right back into view as he stings the flanker in the chest for 6 mod, and he falls unconscious in the muck.
    R16T9.7: The non-flanker steps into his fallen friend's place.

    R17T27: Girrigz stabs the now-exposed pseudodragon for 28, 3 bleed, and bewilders him so that he suffers a -2 AC against Girrigz' attacks.
    R17T9.9: Murray tries to use judicious amounts of stinger venom to staunch his own bleeding, which provokes an AOO from both flankers (miss). He is successful and stops bleeding.
    R17T9.7: Flanker successfully bites Murray for 6.

    R18T27: Murray's displacement protects him against both of Girrigz' thrusts, and then Girrigz does something unexpected. He then bites ... and crits. For 26, 3 bleed, and a ruptured abdominal cavity.
    R18T9.9: Murray, badly wounded, goes to flee. Girrigz misses, but the other wererat hits for 10. He goes 60', and then tries to staunch his bleeding again. And just barely succeeds. Because of the water, or even taking a few steps to get up onto the walkway, the enemies won't be able to get to him without him just barely making it out of there. With only 2 hit points left, Muhrbala lives to fight another day.
