Mouse strikes a defensive pose while Gerik fires an arrow at the Rat wizard. The arrowhead sinks into his knee, knocking it out of joint and he falls to the ground with a howl. Muttering to himself, the wizard pushes the kneecap back into place and rises once more, testing it gingerly. He hurls a sub-audible sonic wave that blasts Kira and Gerik back against the wall. The other rat man tries to sink his teeth into the meditating Mouse, but the monk moves just the barest minimum required to avoid the snapping teeth. The rat man's fetid breath has an almost-recognizable scent to it. It brings to mind something from below the boards of Menlo's place, during a period of great turmoil, great sickness.

Lin sighs with relief as the big brute staggers back to the group, and she quickly walks up next to Suane. Dwayna's holy light fills her as she guides the holy deity to heal Vindig's wounds, even removing some scars as the man is bathed in divine healing energy.
The Healer smiles as she looks at the fully refreshed brute. He almost looks cleaner, somehow, after Dwayna's touch, ready to take on the last of the vile rats. Satisfied, Lin turns her eyes on the particularly ugly one standing right in front of Vindig and Uther. She knows Dwayna will not let her harm the creature, so instead she places Her mark on it. Her feet part from the ground almost a foot as she twists in the air, pointing Dwayna's holy symbol at the creature and making a shimmering round mark appear directly above it. When she settles back down onto the ground, Lin notices one of the group still has not returned. Even worse, the little thief has disappeared from view! "Kira!" she screeches, blood draining from her face. Mechanics Show The following rolls include: +1 HP (Healer's Brooch), +1d6+2 HP (Pacifist Healer), +5 HP (Healer's Lore) In Effect

Uther snarled and braced himself to get burned as the Flame Loon stepped up next to him and hurled more fire about. The snarl turned into a nasty grin as the odd man with the coney hit his target and Uther rocked back onto his shoulderblades and flipped himself aright. "Oi, ye be right rum what fer on the flash and boom ye barmy loon."
The murderer darted forward at the smoldering ratwoman, "Fret ye no more there me nipper lass fer it be old Uther 'ere to sing ye off to the pit." Uther flipped his long knife from one hand to the other before suddenly jamming his free hand out at the creature's eyes and the hand with the thick blade downward into soft belly and pelvis.

Grasping knives in both hands, she brings one up and jabs it into the ratman's shoulder while with the other she slips one into his side. She then pushes him towards the monk and shifts with him to keep the enemy between them.

Sorry for my absence. Going from doing diddly squat during the summer break to working full-time threw off my time management as you can see ;( The little thief at his side goading him on, Gerik whips out a pair of arrows, stepping in front of her while nocking them. He lets them fire off at the same time, both of them finding purchase in the shoulder and chest of the rat man, respectively. "Hm. It seems that under pressure, I can shoot better," he notes, while still reeling and lightheaded from the tense battle.

The rat is besieged on all sides. His eyes dart around but, recognizing that he's stuck in a bad position, he spins back around and launches himself at the mouse. Maybe a little snack would boost his spirits. Taking a quick nip, the rat licks his lips and his eyes start to jitter a little bit. The arcane-infused rat lets burst another wave of sound. Uther and Kira both find themselves stumbling away from the source. Blood seeps from beneath the bandage around Uther's eye, while Kira finds a small trickle from her left ear.

Vindig quickly sizes up the two remaining ratmen. One is close to death, life hanging by a thread - the other looked in good health and was thrashing amongst his new friends.
There is no challenge in putting the weak one down. Vindig sprints into the room and between the two rogues, huge hammer raised to his side during his approach. When he gets within range he swings the hammer sideways - Uther's hair riplping from the passing air as the hammer swings just above his head. The head of the massive weapon lands with a sickening crunch in the Ratman's chest. Vindig pulls back his hammer with an audible squelch as the ratman looks down incredulously at its crushed ribcage.

Kira dazedly wipes away the trickle of blood crawling slowly down her neck from her ear. She waits for a moment to see if her ears will quit ringing. When they don't, she shrugs and pulls out more daggers. Running towards the cowering rat man, she punches one of the blades into him, the other going wide due to her being off balance.
mechanics Show Stat block Show
As the final rat falls, Kira already begins to feel an itch at the site of the rat bite. The skin is red and aggravated. But she doesn't have time for that at the moment. Her first thought is to the other humans still milling around, waiting to see if the assailants continue their slaughter. As the confusion mounts, it becomes clear that the crowd just wants to go home. Eventually, everyone settles down and a grizzled old farmer seems to be volunteered forward (or did everyone else move back?) to act as spokesman.
Mechanics Show Enemies are all dead. Short Rest.
Kira rubs at the bite, annoyed that one got that close. She moves forward to greet the old man once she sees that he seems to want to talk instead of fight. "My name is Kira. I won't hurt you as long as you don't make a move against me. Why are you here? Who brought you here? And what is all this about?" She waves a hand at the cells around them and the bodies of the slain ratmen.
Gerik stays quiet, intent on listening to the old man's response. He sheaths his last arrows and reties the quiver onto his hip; it had nearly fallen off when his legs had buckled in the battle. Leaning on his massive bow, he catches his breath. Something still felt different about him. Was it the experiments? Had they changed him? The questions run through his mind as he stands near the old man, facing the newcomers.
The mouse takes a moment, noticing the fight is over, to hold up the prayer beads around his neck and whisper a few words. He closes his eyes and onlookers can tell he's focusing on some form of spiritual endeavor.
As the last rat man falls and the confusion subsides, Vindig throws his arms wide into the air.
"Rat men gone! You, now FREE! HAW! Next time though, you be helping the fighting, yes? Is good though, left more for Vindig!" He turns his back as Kira begins the questioning, knowing that leaving the talking to his smaller friends would bear more fruit. He clomps over to the strange mouse man, who, to Vindig, looked to be cleaning his necklace. A massive, heavy hand claps down on the thing's shoulder, interrupting his prayers. "Friendly mouse was brave! Others squeak in fear, Mouse fights for freedom!" He points over to Gerik, who can't help but notice the comically oversized gesturing. "Bow Man too. Vengeance you will be getting for the chains. Join Vindig and friends!"
Suane readies another arrow on the string, turning towards the rooms entrance, then waits on what the old man knows before deciding on any further action.
"Everyone has a different story, but it all boils down the same. We were lured in - I was promised a job as head groundskeeper. Easy hours, high pay; shoulda known it was too good to be true. Then that one," he points over to the fallen Pinched Man, "brought us down here and locked us up." He turns several times, looking the room over as if trying to makes sense of something. "I think he was trying to turn us all into..." he points again, this time to one of the wererats, "that."
"There were quite a few that were staged outside when I was brought in. Are they still there?"
The mouse jumps a bit when Vindig's hand clamps down on his shoulder, but he calms down quickly. "Thank you." he says, letting go of his prayer beads. "But I am not overly concerned with vengeance. I only wish to make sure that whatever was happening here is stopped, and then I have my own quest to get back to. I have been sidetracked long enough. I may have missed her already."
Suane shoots a quick look at the old man.
Do you know what they did to try to turn you into ratmen?
The farmer shrugs apologetically. "It was a bunch of magical mumbo-jumbo. He'd strap people to the table, pull out some rats, do some sing-song stuff, and then...then there was screaming. The people came back...changed. The more times he took them, the more rat-like they became. The ones that were led out had each been worked on for months."
She nods. That probably won't be easily reversible. If any of you should begin to feel a sudden change in your condition try to tell us quickly before any harm can be done.
She looks to the rest of her original group. You think we should go on and look for what we came for or better retreat for the moment?
Vindig nodded at the Mouse. He personally would have torn down the enitre building if he were treated in such a fashion, but to each their own.
At least Mouse fought with us instead of cowering. On listening to the farmer, Vindig looks down, frowning at the rat-man with the concave chest; a bloody mess was all that remained from where his hammer had struck. "Rat men made do this?" A twinge of guilt felt at killing the men, who had once been innocent, quickly turned into rage. "Men who do this, they DIE. Hide like babies, make others fight, lose selves." He hefts his hammer in both hands and looks to the stairs. Vindig heads for them, and moves to ascend them unless anyone stops him. "Vindig CRUSH baby-men! Be killing the rat men no more, I think, if can do."
"Hold on a second there big man," Kira calls weakly. She is beginning to feel a bit woozy, and not liking it one bit. "If you go charging in like a raging bull, they'll hear you and some of them may get away. You don't want that, do you? We want to get them all...make them all pay."
The little thief wobbles a bit, unsteady on her feet. The bite throbs and burns. She turns towards the healer and says wearily, "Lin? I think I got a problem..."
Suane leaves the thief to Lin and with a last quick look at the entrance turns over the adjoining rooms for any kind of information on what they did exactly, having somewhat of a bad feeling.
"You." Gerik points at the rogue, noticing her favoring a leg. "You were bit, weren't you? I saw." He coolly makes his way over to her. "These experiements seemed to... have an effect on me. I'd hate for the same to happen to you, after being bitten by one of those things. Lin, I believe she called you. Can you help this woman?" He holds her arm, stabling her as he notices she is wobbling a bit.
"And yes. Vindig, you are called. I seek retribution for what they did to us. The only reward deserved of such men that experiment with free life so casually is a hasty death. I'm a woodsman. I am used to the quick death of creatures. But what they did to us... this is nothing of the sort. This was cold-hearted torture, with no respect to these peoples' lives, including mine." "The effects of the experiements I am still figuring out, but I have no doubt you'd find that having a few more arrows volleyed into the fray may be quite relieving. This last battle was a close call. Looks like you could use my help."
Lin bites her lip as she studies the wound on Kira's arm. Begging her Patron for some help, she holds her breath for a moment before her eyes widen. There's nothing Dwayna can do for her friend - it's some sort of curse. She racks her brain for any mundane treatments, something to treat the wound and anything lingering inside. Melora was always better at the poultices. She had to Kira to turn back, and now.
"Sir," she calls to the farmer. "We didn't see any of those Rats outside. Are you sure...?" She's trying to keep the edge of worry out of her voice as she wraps the wound up. Hopefully Kira will feel better thinking that Lin did something. Sometimes a good attitude is all it takes to fight off infection. At least she hoped so, because that's all she had to go on right now. "They were staging and arming - I'm sure of it. Looked like they would be heading south toward Blue Rose." Lin looks up, her eyes wide. Then she starts nodding slowly to herself. That'll do. "Kira, listen to me, this is important. We need you to get back to Blue Rose as fast as possible. Skinner must be warned. Then, you might as well get Melora to look at that." Lin leans in close, feeling guilty about exploiting the rogue's emotions like this, but hoping to close the sale. "Kira, Graeme, Grayson...all of them, are in danger."
Kira leans on Gerik for a moment, grateful for the help. The ratman had bit her on the arm, but she was still weak kneed from the last thunderous blast that had knocked her against the wall. She stood still while Lin carefully wrapped her wound, but she could tell that the healer was more worried than she let on. Kira knew something bad had happened to her.
When Lin leaned in close to ask her to turn back, the little thief hesitated for a moment. If she could stay on and help erradicate the threat here, at the source... But feeling the way she does, Kira knows that she would be no good in a fight. She might barely be able to make it back to Blue Rose on her own. That thought frightens her -- that she might not get home to Graeme or her brother. She hates feeling weak, despises it, but she knew she would need help. She looked around to see which of her companions would think the least of it and settled on Tim. "You and me, then, burn boy. We've got to go to Blue Rose and warn them like Lin says. Otherwise, the whole town could be in danger of turning into these things." She looks to Lin, who nods slightly. Bending towards the healer so that their heads nearly touch, she whispers, "How long do I have?"
"Oh...I'm sure you'll be fine. Took months for anything to happen to those others," she says, not really sure if her facts are straight, but needing to sound sure for her friend. Some of the former prisoners have found the window and are making their way out.
"Well, come on Tim. The sooner we get started, the sooner we get to Blue Rose to warn everyone." Kira nods to the others, feeling somewhat guilty for leaving them, but that was overshadowed by the joy welling inside of her at the thought of seeing Graeme again. "Take care of yourselves."
The little thief heads to the window and pulls herself through, following the others into the night.
The mouse is busy with Vindig and Gerik as the girls go over Kira's leg. He looks up at Gerik. "You were here longer than I. I never saw these experiments. What are we in for? The spirits here are mad with rage and pain, but I can't get a straight answer from them."
Vindig stops mid stride towars the stairs to lay a hand on Kira's shoulder as she begins to hoist herself through the window. When she turns to him, he levels his eyes on hers and makes a muscle with his bicep.
"Kira strong. Stronger than little rat man bite. Vindig see you at this pretty flower house." He frowns as he watches her leave. He couldn't protect all of the little ladies, especially if they split up.
"I can't say I know. I was taken by a few burly men, stronger than I, and thrown into the cell. Was it... a few weeks ago? I couldn't know for sure. But you... you take the form of a rodent but speak and stand like a human. Were you this form before the experiments? I'm curious."
As the small rogue pulls her way through the window, he calls out to her: "Luck be with you, milady. May we meet again." Gerik looks at the window for a moment after she is gone, a little worried for her wound. It looked bad. Can't do anything about that now. He turns to the massive figure beside him. "Well, Vindig. Shall we and the rest of your friends find these terrible men? I've got quite the bone to pick with their sorry hides." He grins.
Vindig thinks of the wound Kira had taken, and the innocent men - twisted by torture - he had killed. His response is unusually flat for the big man.
"Vindig break bones and strip hide. We be going now. If we need to do the sneaking, tell Vindig, but no need. Rat-men-makers feel fear before feel death."
Now hold on for a second! We don't even know who was involved in this and who not, we might just be killing innocent household staff here, especially if their "army" is already on its way to Blue Rose. The ones responsible might very well be leading it.
Vindig turns cold, hard eyes on Suane.
"Say Rat-men-makers. They die, and quick if lucky. Vindig no feel pity for these peoples, but no kill little weaklings that serve to live. They know though. They share this. Vindig will hurt them, bad, if have to."
As the party heads cautiously upstairs, they hear some shuffling as of furniture being moved about. It seems likely that your foray into the basement did not go unnoticed.

Uther merely glared at everything and everyone. It would do little good now to point out that the shrieking and screaming and bellowing had, without a doubt, alerted any and everyone in the house. So much for his implicit instructions to do this quietly and focus on the reason they were there. Not a bunch of filthy squeal and nippers. There would be a bloody and permanent accounting coming soon if the black-hearted little man had his way. 'What fer play the kettle and stewpot and flip and squat in the brighters now.' He gave a murderous squint at the new additions to the crew and kept far to the back. Other than Weeper and possibly Singer the whole bleeding lot could soak the beams in the hot crimson. He moved amongst the fallen looting from the bodies and insuring that any that lay upon the ground were well and truly dead. He spent a few extra moments on the pinched man and slid his rondel blade up into the man's diaphragm in case the man had not already expired.
Rising from his task, he cleaned his blades off absently with his no longer new cloak and listened to the sing-song and pattering of the party and the no doubt tainted former slaves. Uther spat at the dark luck of the departure of Kira and the Loon and his hellish coney. Not that he'd given a pair of godsballs about the lot he told himself. He paused for a brief moment and stared at the window they'd exited through before wiping at some wetness on his face. He then crept quietly up the stairs slipping his hood back over his head and his dark scarf over his face, ready to release his hate and rage out. He didn't much care on what.

Uther glowered hatefully and darted into the empty room, his good eye taking in the adjoining room quickly. Spying the crossbowman laying under the table for cover Uther leapt upwards and did a forward flip landing lightly upon the oval table, his dark cloak billowing and swirling about him.

The hammer wielding man gave a low groan of pain as the quarrel sunk into hss belly twixt navel and nethers.

Sorry, I was checking this every day and then right when I let off and missed a few days, a surge of posts happened. Gerik rushes into the room that the cross-bow wielding man with the harsh accent is shouting and firing away at the enemies in the room. Sliding to a stop beside the table, Gerik knocks two arrows and fires them at the injured man. Due to the stressed angle in order not to hit Mouse, one of the arrow just misses the target, but the other slams into the warrior's shoulder. Mechanics Show Move: Walk to C10 Standard: Twin Strike on Brenen. Misses 15 AC, Hits 27 AC for 11 damage. -1d20+12=15, 1d20+12=27 -1d12=11 Combat Block Show

An arrow joins the bolt in Brenen's gut and the big man grunts in pain. He looks like he really wants to lie down, but doesn't dare lower his guard with the mad Mouse in front of him. He is offered some release as Dernal fires a bolt back from under the table and darts to a new hiding place. Mouse manages to dodge the worst of the attack, but is disheartened by how close it was and is afraid to take too many risks without looking over his shoulder.

Vindig sees the little mouse-man rush forward into the melee.

Vindig charges in and slams into the back of the desert warrior, drawing a grunt from the whirling soldier. Luckily, he has support and a whip lashes out from around the corner. The leather feels silky smooth, obviously well-oiled and lovingly cared for, as it wraps around Vindig's throat. The smell of the lard used to keep the leather supple is oddly appealing to the savage warrior though drastically out of place. Mouse is harried by a pair of meaty paws, dodging one but unable to avoid the other. Vindig's movement is restricted from the lasso around his throat and he is unable to dodge the two calloused fists headed his way. Mechanics Show Note: In looking back, you notice that Lin is gone. She must have changed her mind and felt that Kira was in too bad a shape to let her make the journey without a healer. Vindig: Hits. Did not have THP before the attack, so no bonus +2 to damage.

As Suane sees Vindigs throat being yanked into the unknown, she decides to yank him back through the dimensions. She walks forward a few steps, not quite happy to be in the midst of the fighting, then loses an arrow at Brendan, concentrating on the poath it makes and sending Vindig down the same way.

Suane slinks to an alcove and fires an arrow into Brenan, who is beginning to look much like a porcupine run over by a wagon pulled by rhinos. A ripple of some magic sends Vindig slipping in and out space momentarily and he finds himself across the room and able to breathe easily. The house Sergeant stalks ahead, spotting the bard cowering in the corner. He picks up a massive, solid wood chair, with an impressive ease that is a show of strength by itself, and then hurls the chair into the alcove. Suane ducks and the chair explodes into a shower of kindling. The noise from the explosion is deafening and everyone stops in a moment of shocked silence before Uther resumes the violence.

The Mouse leaps up in the air and lashes out with a split kick, one kick for each of his attackers. His back paw conects with Brenan's jaw, but his other attacker is swifter, and avoids the blow. The move is still a success however, as the mouse uses the split second distraction to dart behind the cloaked man. "The big human's name was Vindig, at least I think that's what he said." he thinks. "Vindig! Here is one for you!" he calls.

Mouse drops the stalwart Brenan like a sack of flour. After all those bolts in him, it seemed he just needed a little unbalancing to convince him it'd be best to sit for a bit. Sulaja doesn't react as Mouse follows through with a kick and watches Mouse closely with his eyes as he circles around. Right as the monk comes to a rest, Sulaja's short swords are there to meet him, first one, then the other. Mouse seems them coming, but they are placed with such precision, such inevitability, that he finds himself falling right onto them.

Gerik sees his mouse-like companion take quite a few blows but stay standing. The hunter launches an arrow at the enemy next to him, hoping to disrupt his fighting stance and bring him to the floor in pain.

Vindig bristles as he sees Mouse beseiged. He appreciated the way the small warrior jumped into the fray with bravery.

The shock of Sulaja's swords turns the mouse's cold resolve into hot fury. He whirls around, pointing one paw at Sulaja while the other clutches his prayer beads. He calls out, "I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know the name of the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!" As he calls, his beads begin to glow, and a rattle begins in the floorboards of the house.

Uther's good eye narrowed and he fought off the wave of blackness threatening to carry him away to oblivion and away from the pain. He gave a violent snort to clear his head and the result was a bloody spray of snot as Singer whispered something too quiet for the murderer to hear. It was clear that she had affected the anvil-fisted soldier in front of him however as the man gaped and looked about as if he could not see him and a malevolent smile twisted to life across Uther's face.
"Ah there be a fine lass, old Uther can ken to the dark of ye being all mead and sugarcane on him but don't ye twist them locks now." muttered the rogue as he dropped into a street bravo stance.

Uther spun his blades in his hands and thrust both of them upwards seeking the vitals under the man's sternum. "Feather me yon steel-dancer next archer."

As Mouse leg whips most of the combatants, Uther pieces Donthar's diaphragm. The big man slumps in a bubbling whisper. The specter of death renews Uther's will to live, and the rogue has that gleam in his eye again. Sulaja rolls with Mouse's kick and leaps up onto the table. His first cut over Vindig's head and Suane thinks to yell a word of warning, but with the lasso around the wild man's throat, she sees that there isn't anywhere he can go anyway. She flinches internally as Sulaja's second blade opens a scrape along the top of Vindig's broad back.

Gerik targets his next two arrows at the foe who seems the weakest and ready to fall, to thin the numbers. However, from his angle, he risks hitting the mouse-like ally as well as Vindig, so he does not take the shots. He grunts in frustration as he misses his window of opportunity.

As Gerik's careful aim allows the desert warrior to duck the projectiles, something Mouse is unable to do as Dernal fires another coated bolt. The bolter ducks around the corner, unwilling to put himself in harms way. Fighting the intruders was just a job, after all.

Vindig grins as he feels Sulaja's blade rake accross his back, completely ignoring the whip about his neck. He brings his hammer down with a roar, but Skoroff tugs at just the right time to pull the big man off balance and allow the swordfighter to sidestep the blow.
"STAY STILL SO VINDIG SMASH!" He winds up his hammer and pulls it accross his body. Ribs crack like the whip as its head smashes into the swordfighters side, and Relend tumbles out of the way of the beserker's follow-through. Mechanics Show Note: Battle Fury Stance ended last turn.

As Dernal seeks to fall back, Suane plants an arrow solidly in his shoulder, causing him great pain. As Vindig's hammer drops the desert warrior, Skoroff yanks hard on the lasso, causing rope burns to Vindig, but at least the lash falls loose and Skoroff pulls it back. Dernal takes the chance to swings at Vindig, but the big man's head is pulled out of the way by Skoroff's yank. He winds up for another blow, but Suane yells, "Vindig, look out!" and he allows himself to stumble back a step, giving him room to reassess.

Uther's face twists into a cruel grin as he stalks forward flicking his wrists to send rivulets of blood from his blades to either side of him. The lone amber eye in his skull shines brightly with glee and pleasure as he feints low causing Relend to seek to protect his groin as the murderer's other blade glints and comes back dripping scarlet again from a wicked upward slash at his foe's throat and face.
Uther dances back with a chortle and his boot lashes out to catch the dying Donthar square in the teeth. "Archer..Singer...send ye their bowman off to the black pits for old Uther hey?

Gerik slides into the room, arrow ready, and releases it at the enemy in the far back of the room, who is untouched. The arrow catches him in the front of his knee, causing his leg to buckle from the force. By the time the man hits the floor, Gerik already has another arrow out, ready to fell the rest of his captors.

The spirits of the damed continue to rely on the mouse monk, for the most part. They seem to fear manifesting without his rage. In more than one way, the spirits follow this Mouse, who has yet to give you his Name. As Vindig prepares for his next strike, he hears a dozen voices in his ear. Each of them tells him to strike true, indeed, the voices urge him on to greatness. Vindig may not be used to hearing the dead, but with the mouse near, he hears them now, urging him to be their champion, to avenge their wrongful agonies, their horrific deaths.
(Mechanics: None)
Ancestor worship was the way of life in Vindig's tribe, and rather than surprise or fear the voices of the dead only drove his bloodlust to new terrifying heights. He scans the room, searching for instant vengeance, and his eyes alight on Skoroff.
The big man jumps onto the table easily and lets out a deafening roar that rattles the glasses and tableware still standing apon it. He brings his hammer back behind his head and jumps in the same fluid motion, still yelling as he brings the huge hammer to bear on the warrior... Until Skoroff akes an arrow to the knee, stumbling to the ground just as Vindig's hammer begins its downward arc. Dernal's eyes register sudden realization of his exposure and imminent death only moments before the beserker's hammer destroys his head like a ripe melon. Skoroff finds himself covered in the brain matter of his comrade, with the huge warrior standing over him. Bloodsoaked. And smiling.

The two remaining combatants look visibly shaken as Vindig stands up, covered in gore. Skoroff pulls a jagged knife and swipes blindly as he backs away.

Vindig raises one hand to his face and wipes blood down his cheeks in a facsimile of warpaint as the shellshocked Skoroff looks on. As his standing foe regains his composure the big man starts to sing, a deep, gutteral funeral durge. It is stilting in common, though the more intuitive of the party realize its probably not the song's native tongue.
He swipes at Skoroff in a roundhouse manner, the followthrough leaving his midsection exposed. With each swing he accentuates the song.

Gerik's whites of his eyes show when the burly man tries to pummel him, but Suane shields the hunter from vision and the mouseman leaps onto the table, giving the man a painful double-kick that sends him reeling away.

It is with great sorrow that I have to put this game on hold. As some of you know, since this game was started I've changed jobs to one that has a lot more travel (on the order of one week out of every three) and I've had a second child. I don't have enough time to give this game the attention it deserves. I hope to restart it in the future once things settle down. Mouse's kick sends Relend reeling backwards, slamming his head against the wall , causing him to crumple to the ground. Gerik turns quickly, firing at Skoroff rather than Relend. The first arrow pierces him in the chest and Skoroff also collapses, bleeding onto the floor. The team makes their way upstairs and rummages through the office they find there. Finding the book that they were sent after, the group prepares to make their way back to Blue Rose. Suane notices some other planning papers on the desk. She shows them to the others. Vindig recognizes the makings of battle plans, Blue Rose the obvious target, while Uther finds some additional maps with areas much further Northeast. Mouse finds notes on the state of the army that has been unleashed and is appalled at the size of the force - both because of the number of people twisted through the Pinched Man's experiments and the carnage awaiting Blue Rose when the army arrives. Gerik notes that the paths indicated are not the most direct, but will allow for the army of Ratmen to get extremely close before they are likely to be discovered. That means that there is a chance for the party to reach the city before the Ratmen. Hurrying out of the house, the party soon catches up with Tim, Kira, and Lin. Gerik takes the lead to get everyone back to the House of Names quickly and safely. After delivering the book to Skinner and explaining the situation, the party is dismissed while meetings are arranged between the heads of Houses to discuss the coming invasion.
