<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 Door | W1D2 Castalin - Mid-Morning<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Merry, Alyssa, Wilhelmina<br/><strong>Current HP:</strong>17 HP -> 15 HP<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The rat problem was slowly dwindling, which meant they would be one step closer to completing this quest! Sure, there was more to explore down here  so it was too easy to celebrate, but it still felt like they were making some decent headway. Alyssa had done a lot to remove any potential hiding places for the Rats, as well as having taken out one of the creatures with a well-placed fallen shelf. Jasper himself had taken out another...<br/><br/>Still, it wasn't all smooth sailing. Alyssa wound up for a titanic strike which would have surely felled another Rat, but instead her weapon found itself embedded in the nearby wall, the sound of stone giving way to steel resonating in the dark halls. "That was impressive... Even if it didn't really hit anything, hahah..." Jasper chuckled nervously. With the way she spun and struck out, he was more than a little concerned that she might not have been able to control her centrifugal force and could have potentially spun toward one of them. Wilhelmina could probably patch then up through bite marks, but he wasn't sure about missing limbs...<br/><br/>Merry's assurance, despite all the good and understanding she meant with it, nevertheless made the man shake his head. "No need! It's only a few scratches! And a few bites, but nothing I can't live through!" He forced a proud grin to assure Merry. In truth, he just didn't want to get jabbed with that needle again. Once again, Merry found herself on the wrong end of a rat, the man unaware it had been trying to attack him. "Just a little bit more guys, and then we can go further!" He tried to rouse the others, ducking and racing toward the rat with audible stomps to draw the creature's attention.<br/><br/>Jasper made a lunging swing, but the Rat hurried to scurry to the side before lunging and scratching at his ankle. Only a mild grunt escaped his lips before he swung down with the flat of one of his Hatchets, beating the poor rat and sending it rolling across the floor until it stopped near Merry, stunned but not quite unconscious. "Alyssa, you got eyes on the last one?" He called back to the minotauress.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Rat 1 = 0 HP<br/>Rat 2 = 0 HP<br/>Rat 3 = 3 HP -&gt; 1 HP<br/>Rat 4 = 2 HP<br/></div></div>
