Food supplies inside the room were as good as gone. Either they were eaten or tainted by the rats so no one else would want to eat them. It was one big mess. There were gnawed holes in sacks and wooden crates. Some broken bottles on the floor and rotten vegetables. The Vulpi wrinkled her nose to the foul smell.<br/><br/>“Ffffh…!” She heard them before she saw them. The sound of something skittering in the room. At first she didn’t even realise what she saw. Merry thought it was a pile of trash that suddenly started moving on its own, squirming and writhing like a living being. “What the…?” Then she understood what it was. It was a pile of rats! They were gathered together like they were one being. Merry didn’t know if they were tangled together from their tails, held by some sinister magic or what caused this phenomena, but it was creepy.<br/><br/>Her instincts screamed at her to shut the door and quickly. Instead she gripped her staff tighter and bit her teeth together in a silent resolve. The rat swarm saw the adventurer group in the doorway. Their tiny red eyes stared maliciously at the adventurers. Then the swarming rat group swooped towards them and because Merry was the one standing in the front, she was their first target. Merry smacked with all her might, which wasn’t that much, at the rat swarm and it felt like she hit something half corporal as the swarm spread around her staff like it was made of jelly. “Aihh!” The Vulpi screamed and stepped back when she felt tiny teeth biting her through her sock.<br/><br/>Being too focused on the rats in front of her, Merry didn’t notice there was another rat swarm in the room too.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Rat Swarm 1 = 7 HP<br/>Rat Swarm 2 = 8 HP<br/></div></div>
