I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
OA vs Rats Cha vs AC (1d20+10+2=29) Finally. Damage: 2d4+10=16 in half would be 8. I think Basts extra damage gets cut in half as well, leaving him with having dealt 6 damage, but either way, our two attacks are enough to finish the critters. Short rest, again! (Does this encounter count towards a milestone?) Gurdain times his swing with Bast, Catching up the last of the rats between them, leaving only dead rats littering the graveyard.
Too little, too late, the alpha rats' attempt to flee with dignity and a mean (even if it is cannibalism) is thwarted by devastating sweeps of Bast and Gurdain's blades. Hundreds of tiny critter corpses surround you, but none so much as twitch--not even the cooked ones. Around the rest of the battlefield that has served for centuries as a final resting place for Middlethatch, some gruesom bones and remains protrude from the ground, but most have crumbled to dust or are just putrefying puddles. Within just a few minutes, you start to feel much better. Vitality and power rush back into your systems as the adrenalin starts to fade.
Floating map and move as needed. Outer wall is 5ft tall rough-hewn rock, DC 10 athletics to climb. Darkest squares are open graves 5ft deep, slippery mud (something about a recent rain storm?). DC 15 athletics to climb out Thin light boxes are grave stones--they can provide partial cover/concealment to someone adjacent to them. Medium gray rectangles are doors into crypts. The doors into the central crypt are open, and there is light inside.
You are both rational and emotional. You value creation and discovery, and feel strongly about what I create. At best, you're innovative and intuitive. At worst, you're scattered and unpredictable.
Bow down, my subjects, for I am your master! Yesss.....Show
Gurdain kicks through the piles of deceased rodents and walks back into the crypt where he props himself against the wall, looking at the empty bag in his hands. I s'pose it w'sn't a tot'l loss...After a few minutes he tucks the bag into his belt and then heads over to the decending stairs. 're we ready?
Rorin watches Gurdain kick the rats around with an audible "Ew". But with the rats dead and the way forward open, it's time to finish things. That is, once another thing is taken care of.
"You know, when I signed up for this, I didn't sign up for rats, I signed up for undead. And I'd wash that bag before putting anything in it, must be at least a pound of... You don't wanna know... In there."
Rorin had 7 hp at the end of the fight, so he's going to need to heal... For three surges to reach 34 HP. Waiting for another surge is probably a smart move...
After the last of the rats are killed, Gem staggers off to tend her wounds. Exhausted, she spends a few more quiet moments leaning against the outer wall of the crypt, applying a wound patch and letting the medication do its work. In a few minutes she is feeling much better. As her companions compare wounds and continue scouting for loot, Gem hands out her few remaining wound patches, one each to Rorin, Droth and Bast. "Put these on the worst of your wounds, you'll see. They're very effective." After checking their wounds, she congratulates both Bast and Droth on their conduct in the surprise battle, then she spends a bit more time treating Rorin, making sure he's fit to fight again before she's ready to explore the crypt.
ooc: inspiring words plus wound patch results: Droth spends a surge, gets a surge plus 13 hp Bast spends a surge, gets a surge plus 14 hp. Rorin spends a surge, gets a surge plus 11, spends another surge, gets a surge plus 8.

Twirling the gore off of his halberd, Bast goes over and rests near the others. "well that was unexpected." Nodding thanks at Gems healing and help, he makes sure the others are ready to go while munching on a piece of hard tack, before even suggesting to go down.

Thankful for the healing, Rorin quickly rushes past Gurdain. It's better if he goes in first.
"Let's not be rash here, give me a moment to scout. They'll be fortified down there, charging in will just put them in a better position. I'll go in, take a quick peak, and then come back out. Then we rush in like idiots. That sound good?"
Instead of using all those surges, I'd suggest using the inspiring word Gem grants for a bonus heal of 21, pretty good all things considered. From there, he only needs one surge to reach max HP again. So save the patch for the moment.
Droth too slow on the pickup to catch any of the fleeing rats walks over to the bigger piles and finds the crunchier roasted furbags, he picks one up and take a large bite out of it. Mumbling with pieces of rat flying out he states "Rat good. Want?" he asks the group.
Making guttural sounds and picking up a few more of the meatier chucks laying about, he sits to recover from the battle. Taking the wound patch from Gem he applies rather brutishly on his major cuts, and tries to bargain with her holding out a rat for the patch.
Once he is feeling like his rough and tough self and a full stomach of rats, he's right back next to Gurdain waiting to go down the dark stairwell. Listening to Rorin, Droth ponders the situation "Tiny human look first? Droth help?" He awaits further instruction from the group before continuing on his death march.

There is a faint light from the steps leading down into the crypt. From the chamber down into the vault, the humidity grows quite high. Once down, Rorin and any who follow find a 25x80 foot chamber. The walls on the north and south sides have niches for storing bodies stacked three shelves high. Eight large biers stand in the middle of the room. There are only a few fragments of remains here. Whatever family was buried here, their rest has been disturbed, and their souls violated. Perhaps most disturbing, however, is that there are three shelves that have bed rolls and camping matresses in them. There is also a small lantern stove, and other assorted camping gear.
