Musktooth no fear!" the figure shouted, but there was a clear shaking in his voice, a tremble that betrayed a fear of an end. "Musktooth no go back to Master! Musktooth no pet! No! Bite them! Scratch them! Kill smooth-skins!"<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/afadb5e8-25f6-4c2c-a81f-ba801e9b4650/dbyvqjd-f959d3f2-5acd-4f0b-83f4-96172377a5ac.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2FmYWRiNWU4LTI1ZjYtNGMyYy1hODFmLWJhODAxZTliNDY1MFwvZGJ5dnFqZC1mOTU5ZDNmMi01YWNkLTRmMGItODNmNC05NjE3MjM3N2E1YWMuanBnIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.v_N0lzd0M78NN5PGktN3nI-UGedTv8HyrTvTnS2wIA4)</div>With that final command, the skittering in the walls reached a fever pitch as the voice simply faded off into the distance, no longer in earshot. Then, suddenly, a furry beast came bounding out of a nearby hole. In the flickering light shining off of Orlith's sword, it became plain to see it was a sort of unnatural, deformed rodent. A rat perhaps, but far bigger (roughly two foot tall and four foot long from snout to tail), with bloodshot red eyes, disgusting matted fur and long razor sharp pincer like front teeth perfect slicing through flesh.<br/><br/>Orlith being the closest, the rat bounded up towards her with surprising quickness and tried to lung and bite at her exposed leg (8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=138155)), but in the last moment Orlith shifted just so the creature missed entirely and skidded away, rolling over twice before finding it's balance again and standing firm against the much larger Ifritian.<br/><br/>Chaos erupted in the chamber as<strong>five</strong>more of the beasts emerged from their tunnels, three to the left side of the spherical room, and two more to the right.
