The frightened, angry rats scampered forward and attacked the first people they came to.  Searos's blade easily parted one from its head, and the newcomer's spell splattered another. One of the sparks from Luthor's spiked chain caught in a dry patch of fur, igniting the rat and causing him to scamper for the door, catching two more on fire on his way. Yet another got caught up in the shifting barbs of Luthor's chain and was drug along for the ride until his twitching body finally fell off.<br/><br/>Two of the rats bit  Lyell as he struggled into his armor ((-2HP)), and one attempted the climb the 7 1/2 inch platform shoes to get at Anya, managing to sink his teeth into her big toe before falling off ((-1HP)). Brother Anthony and Nikandros were also bitten ((-1HP each)). A small group of rats managed to find their way out the door.<br/><br/>((Round 2))<br/>
