Seeing Droth fixed on another enemy, Gem shouts a quick warning. "Lookout!" Droth dodges easily away from a large, ravenous rat. "Hit it!" she segues from defense to offense, and bringing his weapon easily to bear in the same motion, Droth cleaves through the swarm, sending rats flying in all directions. Gem then quickly drops her sword, equips her throwing hammer and sends it flying dangerously past the swarm nearest Gurdain, nearly almost hitting it! Seeing Rorin still seems to be getting pasted, she cheers him on. "Keep working the flanks, Rorin. C'mon, it's easy work for easy pay!" she cracks. Rorin feels his fighting edge returning.

Rats (1d20+6=15) Triggers retaliation from Bast: MBA (1d20+10=21) Enough to kill it. (minimum 6) Gurdain watches as Bast smashes the group of rats in front of him as they move to attack him yet again. Looking around, he decides to give Rorin a hand as he seems to be fairing far worse, but the squirming bunch is thin enough to evade the swing from his blade. The others notice that there are several rats hanging on him and gnawing at some fleshy bits they've found, but it doesn't seem to register with Gurdain at the moment. mechanicsShow

Gem drops her throwing hammer and picks up her sword, moves away from the combat, then charges back in at the single remaining swarm of rats, her sword flashing high overhead. Down she swings with fatal accuracy, completely and utterly destroying... one very large rat. So cleanly cleaved in twain, the poor creature does not even squeak. The rest of the swarm now regards her with frenzied hunger.

Of the 250 or so rats that errupted from the bag when it openned, Darwinian sellection has weaned them down to about a score. These top-of-the-litter rodents, aware of both the plentiful supply of meat surrounding them and the large hostile creatures capable of inflicting great harm and death, each attempt to grab a handy meal, then scatter.
