<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Closed Quest:</strong> That’s a Big Rat</span><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/M5bomIF.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Jasper Hulfort (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333483.msg15884537#msg15884537)<br/><strong>Race and Occupation:</strong>Human Lumberjack | Woodworker<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time:</strong>Temple of Casta, Basement | W1D2 Castalin - Mid-Morning<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Merry, Alyssa, Wilhelmina<br/><strong>Current HP:</strong>13 HP -> 10 HP<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Merry's attack on the Giant Rat looked like it would at least provide a distraction for him and Alyssa to compose themselves and prepare to tackle the creature as as duo, but... Upon approaching the creature, each Butterfly seemed to pop harmlessly. "You told me about those things... How attacking them destroys them or something? So then that thing..." Jasper was putting two and two together to realize the Giant Rat was a more irritating creature than it needed to be. Alyssa was keeping things together, still ready to go, but her movements still looked a bit awkward. Whatever those other Rats did was going to keep wearing on her.<br/><br/>"Hey, we appreciate it Alyssa, but don't completely disregard your health on out account. We can't enjoy ourselves if any of us go down before we win." Jasper crossed his hatchets and charged in after Alyssa. Once he got close, Jasper realized how dangerous the fumes emanating from the Giant Rat were, feeling as if his body was starting to singe and tingle as if exposed to acid or some other corrosive substance. Alyssa's pelt would probably help her mitigate some of its effects, but the poison in her body was another issue entirely.<br/><br/>The Giant Rat loosed an earsplitting screech from the heavy gash delivered by Alyssa, before its diseased mouth opened to try and snap its razor teeth down on her leg. Instead, Jasper slammed one of the Hatchets into its mouth to keep it from closing, before using the other to bash the side of the creatures face once, twice, three times, and then one final, heavy crack to knock the first hatchet out of its mouth. "Eat<em>that</em>, you oversized sack of disea- Oof!" Jasper winced as the Giant Rat whirled around and slammed its overgrown, mottled tail into him and cast him across the humid ground.<br/><br/>"Ugh... Careful near it, those fumes are toxic." Jasper groaned from the floor, rolling over onto his back and sitting up.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Giant rat = 13 HP - 10 HP<br/></div></div>
