Still, if the big guy wanted to get eaten by rats first, it might save the buxom Vulpi from some untoward nibbling. It would be a shame for anything to happen to her loveliness that was not perfectly consensual.<br/><br/>Jasper's bravado was commendable, and perhaps it was that Willa had managed to hook on with more experienced adventurers than she had assumed.  If that wasn't the case and the cut woodsman was in over his sexy himbo head, Willa might need to break out the giant syringes.   Either way, she let them all go first. Willa even tipped the red cap she wore to Alyssa as the ripped Minotaur warrior passed into the hall and down the stairs to the basement.<br/><br/>Willa unholstered her customized Markwell Remote Delivery Device. She slotted a syringe of pink elixir into the specialized compartment after checking to make sure it had no air bubbles.  She cranked back a leaver that cocked the hand crossbow, and there were two clicks. One for the syringe and one for a crossbow bolt located below it.<br/><br/>Satisfied she was ready, Willa shifted the IV stand nestled between her shoulder blades to make sure it wouldn't be in her way, and she followed the others down. Behind her, she heard the door shut and a key turn with another click.  That was unsettling.<br/><br/>Willa had just reached the bottom of the steps when she heard Alyssa's warning.  Even with the drift globe casting its light around the room, it wasn't easy to see for those who can't see in the dark.  The globe cast skittering shadows in the deepest parts of the basement, which was really a set of linked storage areas filled with items needed or might be used by the Temple.  The upper level of the basement held clearly labeled shelves containing an assortment of the Temple's most needed supplies such as gauss, pain-relieving hers, and contraception, to name a few.  Willa stepped to the side to have line of sight towards each of her compatriots and scanned the room for danger.<br/><br/>"I don't know, Alyssa. I don't see any…WHAAAAAAAHHHH!” Willa yelled in surprise as a huge rat leaped from a nearby shelf, scattering some bottled filled with who knows what, and landed on her shoulder where it hissed and scratched her cheek.<br/><br/>Three other rats came scurrying out of various other dark places and charged at the group.  Very odd behavior for a rat Willa would have thought had one not been trying to gnaw her face.  Instead of coming up with this pertinent information, Willa screamed, flailed, and finally managed to harang the rat into leaping off her and onto the floor, where it hissed again.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Rat 1 = 4 HP <br/>Rat 2 = 4 HP<br/>Rat 3 = 4 HP<br/>Rat 4 = 4 HP<br/></div></div>
