Day 19 – 9:33 a


Hmm, is this the third action thread spent on the "King"?

The rats head down the passageway and seem to veer south as there appears to be another intersection up ahead.
At least it appears to the three of you with infravision. Besides looking behind him at the light coming in from the openings, Bruard cannot see anything ahead of him but the glow of Jeloon's sword flashing arcs, and (as he emerges from the cramped tunnel) Till's short sword and dagger.
It's dark.

If I may be so bold as to do an action for Bruard?

Bruard pulls down the crystal lenses on his magical helm, allowing himself the gift of infrared sight.

Hah! You know I forgot about that, and it's a really decent magical item too!
I'm sure Greg would be a'right with that.

[Argennian]

Yosef moves up to the others in the intersection and looks them over. "Was anyone else bit? I was again but do not feel any of the symptoms that I did before. Perhaps the ointment's properties are still in effect?" he queries softly as he watches the direction that the rats fled for any sign of them or the rat king.

And you thought you had the one human in our group at your mercy... hahaha!

[We are] inVINcible!

(Which, we all know, is followed by the guy getting soaked in liquid nitrogen and freezing solid...)

[dmw71]

The rats, at this point, seem to rethink their strategy and retreat at full speed, down the tunnel leading east.

"Anyone injured badly? If not, we need to press the attack, I think. We just don't want to be wreckless and step blindly into some kind of trap..."

Jeloon suspects that she hears a discussion taking place behind her, but is already storming off down the tunnel after the rats. "Dats right, bring me to you leader," she mutters as she gives pursuit.

... or someone looking at a basilisk

Good move on the helmet visor. I don't mind at all, but I figured you guys had the 'dark vision' thing covered.

Bruard moves cautiously ahead, his mace in hand, shield in the other.

[Alethan]

Till follows Jeloon.

Day 19 – 9:35 a


\

As Yosef, keeping his voice down, asks everyone if they are okay, the half orc takes off down the corridor. Till with a "hey that's my move" shrug heads after her, with Bruard taking a more careful approach to heading down the passageway.

Yosef, for a brief second, has a WTF, SMH expression flutter through his elven face and continues on after them.

Hey, Till can't have all the fun, right? Besides, "ladies" first.

[rredmond]

Choo got it!
As Jeloon heads down the passageway she sees that the more northern (practically straight passage) seems to open up, possibly into a room/cavern of some sort.

But those rats definitely went south. (I updated the Marching Order).

But those rats definitely went south.

Jeloon will chase the certain rather than the uncertain and head south in rapid pursit of the escaping rats.

[Alethan]

Till pauses long enough to look into the northeastern passage using his infravision to see if he spots anything that way. If he sees nothing, he hurries after Jeloon.

OOC: I have absolutely no problems at all with someone else taking the proverbial bull by the horns. Or rat by the tail, as the case may be. I do it out of necessity as much as excitement/fun. It is nice to not be in the back of the canoe every now and then...

Seriously! It's no wonder I don't know what I'm doing half the time! Only one I MIGHT be able to see around is the elf. And that's only if he doesn't have one of those frilly winged helms on...

[Argennian]

Yosef hurries along with the others, not wanting to miss his chance to be there when the Master of Rats gets what a comin!


OOC: Van is coming with us, right? Or are we leaving him back in the temple?? (FWIW, the minute we pass by another avenue of access to the temple, he could become trapped or ambushed. Just sayin...)

Day 19 – 9:38 a


\

With everyone in pursuit of the rats, they are quick. Even quicker than you thought. They quickly disappear from the edges of Jeloon's infravision as she leads the charge.

Till slows a minute to peek toward the northerly passage. Yosef pointedly does not fix his long flowing hair back into a ponytail as he runs along with the party.

Not really:

"You rat, bastards!" Jeloon curses.

[Alethan]

"Hey! Gotta... remember... to... check out... that last... room... when... we're done... with... the rats," Till manages to say between breaths as he runs after Jeloon.

[Argennian]

Yosef looks to keep the pace behind Jeloon and Till, looking back from time to time to ensure that Bruard is still on his heels.

Although moving with the action, he will try to do his best to notate any changes in his physical condition and well-being due the giant rat bites and will sound off on that if he senses any of the previously troublesome conditions.
