    Fortuna follows Arodea down the ladder. Seeing Nyda and Lynera at the door she waits with her rapier drawn and breath held, partly from nerves, partly due to the stench.

    The door opens to reveal a large room, the floor coated in dirty salt and sawdust. The light of Uly's glove illuminates the gloomy hall, revealing bits of masonry that have been chewed or clawed away on the wall and the narrow animal tunnels beyond. Steel rails are mounted in the ceiling, with a few lonely iron hooks dangling from them. A pile of stained pillows and moth-eaten blankets lie in a ten-foot square depression in the floor to the Northwest, which has some kind of chain-based pulley system beside it. They can make out the faces of at least four rat-faced creatures, no higher than a knee, skulking around, giggling to themselves. Something is attached to one of the hanging hooks - a creature with about the mass of a human, but shapeless, made of rolling flesh that bears nothing more than a mockery of a face. Its evil eyes blink up as the light starts to pour in.

    Fortuna's blood runs cold as the door swings open to unveil the grotesque scene now before them, "What the hell is that... thing?" she utters breathlessly as it stares back at them. Is this what happened to the body parts that were never found? Had the rat creatures... created this thing?

    "Y'know what, it doesn't matter! Don't be afraid- we made it through yesterday, we'll make it through today! Let's clean this place up!" Finding her courage, she tightens her grip on her rapier as she points it at the hooked monstrosity. Even if she couldn't fight like a real hero, she could at least act the part.

    These little wererat thingers would seem to account for the footprints. Having drawn her sword and opened the door at the same time, Lynera moves into the room just far enough to see everything, then sidesteps over to take a swing at the horrifying meat piņata. There's a word for this thing in Infernal, but she always mistranslated it as, 'lemur,' on her exams.

    Kyra grumbles something from within her helmet, but is silently glad for the rescue from the unending question of whether it was appropriate to continue silently following, or if she should have been speaking. She had assumed it was fine, but there was always that touch of worry...But now, it was back to marching forwards and killing things. Just as it had yesterday, a flash of green goes across her armor, and she moves forwards swiftly, placing herself such that her polearm threatens any of the odd rat-faced creatures that would advance into the melee.

    Lynera's opening strike manages to tear a hole through the blob-like monster that's hooked to the ceiling, but Nyda finds that her blow practically sinks into the beast before simply sliding out. Arodea runs in after Kyra, moving into position to take on some of the rat-faced creatures in the room.

    Uly shifts towards the doorway, her head just barely poking out. "They're," she says, her voice trembling, "Grimples." A few ragged breaths escape her lips as her mouth starts to twist into a grin. "They-" is all she manages to get out before she starts laughing joyously.

    One of the creatures darts to the structure at the back of the room, giggling to itself as it points ahand at the group surrounding the hooked beast. They suddenyl find the floor beneath their feet coated in a slippery green ooze. Kyra finds herself about to fall flat on her behind, her legs taken right out from underneath her, but suddenly finds just the right position to keep herself up with the shaft of her polearm. Lynera manages to keep her feet, as does Nyda, while the Dretch doesn't seem to have lost its balance at all.

    A second, near the wall, suddenly darts through one of the tunnels and emerges a little ways away.Its body jitters, then lurches forward, as a stream of vomit shoots out of its maw and splatters Nyda, Lynera, and Kyra - two of them manage to hold their breaths, but the stench overwhelms Nyda, who finds herself Nauseated.

    One of the others attempts to gnash at Arodea, but she's able to deflect the attempted bite from the tiny creature by a hair's breadth. The other attempts to toss a rock at Fortuna, which nails her in the shoulder, but it doesn't hurt a great deal. The last one does nothing aside from start to tug on the pulley system, muttering something to itself.

    The chained monster fruitlessly attempts to claw at Lynera, finding nothing but air as she dips out of the way.

    Fortuna doesn't know what the 'grimple' at the pulley is trying to do, and she really doesn't want to find out. Turning her blade to it with a glare, she bolts forward and with a spin blasts her go-to daze spell at it.

    "GriIIIimples??" Lynera says as she catches herself slipping on the slick green stuff. "They... cast the most annoying spells in the world, apparently?"

    She ducks and slides under Kyra's polearm to more effectively gang up on the bait monster, having noticed Nyda's trouble hitting this thing's weak spot.

    Lynera's blade nimble strike mauls the tethered beast, leaving it reeling back with an inhuman shriek just as Kyra manages to jab it through the center of its blobby mass. The groan turns to a wheeze, as the creature falls still, black ichor pouring from its wounds.

    Arodea attempts a swing at the creature that tried to bite her, only for the tiny creature to hop over her blow with another cackle.

    The chain-pulling grimple suddenly halts as Fortuna's finger falls upon it, swaying unsteadily on its feet.

    The rest of them shout something to the others at the sight of the hooked monster falling, One points at Lynera - her weapon suddenly becomes coated in a slippery substance, but she manages to keep her grip with ease. Another points at Arodea, causing the armored woman's weapon to slip from her grip and clatter to the floor. Kyra manages to do the same, despite her weapon becoming similarly coated.

    The only Grimple not to have attacked moves up beside the dazed one, grabs a rock from the nest in the depression, and chucks it at Fortuna. It slams into her other shoulder.

    "Alright! Let's send these wee beasties to the afterlife alongside their pet!" Fortuna exclaims as the chained creature goes limp. Especially that little sod with the rocks, she thinks, trying not to flinch as the second stone hits with a crack.

    Rather than strut upto the trio of grimples alone, however, she instead runs to strike at the one harassing the disarmed Arodea.

    Lynera smiles triumphantly as Kyra finishes off the meatball despite the rats' greasiest efforts.

    She slides back on her heel until her boot catches the sticky filth on the floor behind her, which sends her tumbling into a backwards somersault. She springs back up on the other side of Fortuna's sparring partner and secures a flanking position with a horizontal flunge.

    Arodea scoops up her weapon and manages to keep a tight grip on it as she makes her way around the depression in the floor and gets to the other side of the grimples.

    The Grimple by the pulley recovers from its dazing and starts pulling again, this time fulfilling its task as the platform it was holding up through a hole in the ceiling falls to the floor, covers the hole, and reveals another of the groaning, fleshy beasts. The three remaining grimples cackle with delight at the sight of it rushing to attack the first target it sees... Lynera is not too fast this time, as she feels its claws slash across her shoulder.

    Lynera finds herself losing her grip on her greast wepaon as she reels from the blow. It clatters to the ground at her feet, leaving her unarmed in front of it.

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    Lynera takes 3 damage. Her blade is on the ground and she will provoke an AoO if she tries to pick it up.


    The grimple at the far South of Nyda lunges for Nyda, it tiny snapping jaws lashing out at her arms, but she just barely manages to deflect the biting teeth of the mangy mouse. Arodea manages to keep the ones just West of her at bay with a few swings of her sword. But the third that had been stuck there darts behind a table just west of Lynera.

    Fortuna's early blow draws the creature's attention to her, thus exposing its back to Kyra, who takes full advantage of the opportunity and skewers it straight through the head. It crumples to the floor, no less blobby in its death. Four Grimples remain, two just West of Arodea, one West of Lynera, and the other South of Nyda.

    Uly's laughter isn't much of a balm for Nyda's gut, but it is, at least, a constant. Some people take comfort in that sort of thing.

    Arodea takes a swing at the nearest Grimple and slays it where it stands, its giggling cut just as short as the blobby beast below.

    The remaining three grimples look about at the chaos surrounding them, their slain comrades and traps, and let out a gibbering series of words followed by an attempted escape. The one Southwest of Arodea just barely manages to duck another blow, managing to run all the way to the door where Uly blocks its exit.The one around the table tries to dart past Lynera, but her blade cleaves it in twain before it can so much as take two steps. Nyda is unable to even take a swing at the one that had just attacked her and runs upwards, joining its companion at the blocked doorway. The halfling, though still crippled by her own apparent delight, gives a warning slash of her dagger that doesn't hit, but dissuades them from rushing her. For the moment.
