    Zarron sees the monk hit herself in the head for no good reason and leaves abruptly. Mystified, he starts to shadow her stealthily.

    Stealth
    (1d0+5)[6] 12 total, as rolled in OOC. Probably not enough to beat her passive perception.

    Zarron is unable to determine if the death was directly or indirectly from the plague.

    There is a small graveyard on a nearby hill outside of town where you lay the person to rest and Mathias conducts a simple service.

    Zarron finds his curiosity overpowering his thirst, and so he continues to shadow the monk who seems to be looking for something.

    Taara hears something behind her- she turns and looks, descending into a crouch, thinking it might have been a rat. She stands in disappointment, noticing it was only the night elf boy.

    She turns back around and continues going about finding a rat or two. "What is it?" she asks Zarron, facing away.

    Taara continued looking, deep in thought. This boy was new to her entirely- he obviously wasn't like Kaj, who was a leader and was stoically quiet, nor was he exactly like Maut, who was always asking questions boastfully. Chand is the closest to this Zarron- jumpy- but they weren't exactly the same. This confused Taara: everyone she had met since she left the forest was the same as one of her three friends in some way, or at least the same as one of her masters.

    She sighed as she turned over a rock or something, looking for rats. "Where are you from?"

    Elyn: "I was on a trip with my son over to some of the farms to the east to do some trading. When I got back a few days ago I found the town already beset by this plague. After applying what little medicine I know it became apparent that we would need help so I sent my son to Qsen for aid."

    Mathias: "The day before yesterday I came into town with my mule on a routine supply run for the monastery up the path that heads up into the mountains to the east. During the trip I noticed some unusual activity among the wildlife. It might have been my imagination but I think the creatures of the forest might have been fleeing from something in the mountains."

    Ellis thanks the people for their answers, and finds some of the others in their little adventuring party. She locates Zarron and Taara first, telling them I talked to some of the villagers who're still up. One of them mentioned that, as he was returning to Tamor, the animals seemed to be fleeing the mountain.

    It's not much, but if that's the source, we might do more good there than here.

    "Qsen ma'am," Zarron replies. He doesn't press for a reply when it appears that she is lost in her own thoughts.

    Instead, when the Goliath arrives, Zarron is eager for some action. "Yeah let's go beat up those rats. They were so loud last night. Are there any cats here who can help kill them?"

    Taara cracks her knuckles and begins doing some warm-up stretches, in silent agreement with the others' sentiments. This thing in the mountains was intriguing, but also creepy. She doesn't like creepy.

    She stands from her stretches, jumping in place with her feet together to work up a sweat. After a little bit, she stops and pulls out her bow and sets her quivers right. Taara approaches and stays near Trunksplitter until they find rats, where she'll let him charge in while she shoots from the back.

    Zarron points to the fruit tree right in front of the closest field. "Can you give me a boost, Mr. Trunksplitter sir?"

    Ensconced above the tree leaves, Zarron has a bird's eye view of the situation. Taking out his pan flute, the bard starts to play, forcing a bit of magical force into the effort.

    Instead of music, what instead comes out appears to be a cacophony of cat screams and yowls, continuing unabated and increasing in volume as time passes!

    Trunksplitter at first starts, trying to see where the cats are. As soon as he realizes that it is the young bard who does it, he waits, his hammer at the ready, to see if rats are going to come out.

    He is in a mood for some bashing.

    Zarron is in a tree mid field about 40 ft due east of the shed next to the Inn on the map.
    Other characters are in the vicinity of the shed unless they would like to specify otherwise.

    Zarron has acted in the surprise round, the other characters can act in whatever order the players happen to post in.
    One swarm has been dispersed and only a few of the larger tougher rats from it remain. They are 20 ft east of the tree.
    Swarm 1 is about 90 ft NW of the shed, Swarm 2 is about 80 ft NE of the shed.
    I can post a proper battle-map if it would help.

    Not wanting to get in close where the rats might bite her, Taara decides to shoot an arrow at the rat swarm Ellis and Trunksplitter were trying to kill. She moves closer so she's confident she's in range. A haze seems to try to take her over, as she pulls back the arrow like had happened to Domorn, but she shakes it off and looses it into the swarm of rats.

    For round one of combat:
    @Zergrinch, Zarron is 180 ft away from the rest of the party so the intended targets for both Bardic Inspiration and Vicious Mockery are out of range.

    Barely has he gotten comfortable in his elevated vantage point, when Zarron spies his allies leaving him to fight a swarm much further away.

    "Hey! Don't leave me here!" he yells out.

    Unable to do much of anything else, the bard secures his pan flute, brings his rapier out, points it threateningly at the nearest tough rat, and yells several invectives at it.

    After which, Zarron descends from the tree and rushes towards the party, giving the swarm in between them a wide berth.

    The rats try to fight back but cannot keep up with your footwork.

    Zarron nearly jumps out of his skin as an arrow whizzes just over his shoulder and impales one of the rats against the ground. He stares wide-eyed at the wood elf monk, the rash part of him wanting to berate her, and the rational part of him not daring to say anything lest she shoots a hole through his chest.

    Ellis stays quiet, leaving the others to banter against the animals, as she swings with her hammer.

    Many more rats fall to the ferocious assault. There are only a few left and in their panic they are unable to retaliate.

    Zarron's psychic attack causes another rat to flee in terror with a migraine.

    Taara's arrow skewers one rat.

    The rats have not rolled above a 5 yet on attack rolls.
