Re: IC II
The companions have just gotten their lighting situation figured out and are preparing to head down the tunnel when a chittering, squeaking sound drifts down the tunnel towards them. In the torchlight, the adventurers see a brown mass approach them along the floor. It is a horde of rats!
Re: IC II
Pesha the Wanderer
Pesha hands off the torch at Kaa's request and accepts the spear, "I like the distance".
As the rats approach Pesha hollers, "Set the torch against them! Set the torch against them!". He digs one of the two flasks of oil from his pack and hurls it at the rats.

Kaa, shaman
"You're up front after this then, Babu. Someone pull a spare torch, we're immolation these things!" Kaa has the torch in one hand and her spear awkwardly clenched behind her shield in the other. Noticing Pesha dig for oil saves her some time though, since she would have herself, and instead she waits to either light his bottle or to toss the torch into the pool when Pesha throws it.
Worst case, she can light the next torch herself, and find it in the ambient firelight of burning oil.

Babu has no torch, so backs against a wall and tries to keep out of the way. He send Bibi up out of the hole while he fends of the rats with his spear.

Re: IC II
Tychon the Blue, Mage
Tychon throws a flask of military oil in the path of the oncoming horde of rats.
If no one is throwing a torch to light the oil, Adtas will, otherwise Adtas will also throw a flask of military oil in the path of the rat horde.

Re: IC II
Round One
The rat swarm pours forth from the tunnel, engulfing the adventurers and covering the rock floor with a writhing mass of brown fur. Harald, Ishanter, Kondo, Pesha, Styr and Tychon are all subsumed by the teeming mass of rodents. Ishanter gives a shriek of pain as dozens of rats bite into her flesh, blood flowing freely from multiple wounds. Mordred is able to ward off the rats and retains his footing.
Babu jabs with his spear but misses. Adtas tosses a flask of oil towards the entrance of the tunnel and Kaa alertly follows it with a torch; rats die in the resulting conflagaration by the dozens! The smell of burnt hair and charred flesh begins to fill the air.

Babu the Monkey
Seeing the sea of rats engulf his companions, Babu screams and chops at the rats, killing a few and trying to drive them off.
Kondo will attempt to climb to his feet, warding off the rats.
Bibi will attempt to get/stay clear by climbing out of the hole. once she is out, she will throw rocks down on the rats.

Re: IC II
Kaa, shaman
Kaa considers tossing more oil close to the fallen, in hopes of catching more of the furry vermin, but realizes that guaranteed burnin is not a cure for potential continued chewing.
"Kūndala, feed!" The shaman gestures wide, throwif out her shield arm to the rats and unslinging the serpent enough for it to move towards the swarms. She reaches for a ceramic oil flask, intent on lobbing it – hard – into the flames when they begin to gutter and fail.

Tychon the Blue, Mage (hp 13/16)
Tychon opens his eyes wide, points with both hands at Adtas's feet, and as he raises his hands up in a grand gesture, quietly exclaims, "subvolo excelsus!"
Adtas's boots turn blue as he levitates above the horde of rats.
Adtas, Explorer
Adtas fends off the swarm with his sword, and levitates out of reach of the rats as soon as he can.

Re: IC II
Round Two
Styr is able to grind a number of the rats into a pulp beneath his boots before the burning oil scatters the rest of the swarm. The surviving rodents, of which there are not many, flee into remote corners and tiny crevices rather than retreat down the tunnel from whence they originated. Ishanter lies insensate on the cold, hard ground of the floor, flesh torn in dozens of places.
A faint squeaking can be heard drifting from the mouth of the tunnel, suggesting that there may be more rats in that direction.
