The rats formed up into formations, protecting their artillery with their lives! The lead battalion scattered a number of tiny metal spikes which, being rats, they could evade without substantial trouble. Might have been somewhat more troublesome for halflings, though!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Initiative order!<br/>Redli: 20<br/>Peach: 17<br/>Ravio: 15<br/>Maize: 13<br/>Rats: 6<br/><br/>Wretched 33rd Sabers #1-4: AC 12, 19/19 HP<br/>Wretched 33rd Cannons #1-2: AC 11, 21/21 HP<br/><br/>No map, but the battle situation is as follows: four Saber Squads with AC 12 out in front. Two Cannoneers with AC 11 in back. The two Saber Squads that also have Canoneers behind them have scattered Makeshift Caltrops in front of them, which act like caltrops but require a DC10 Dexterity check instead.<br/>Rat Discipline means that even though they are a swarm, they can block spaces, so getting at the cannons will require some creativity. Or some blood! Not picky which.<br/><br/>All of you beat them soundly on initiative, so cheers! (Don't worry so much about posting in order, I will resolve things in order regardless.)</div></div>
