Searos's cleave attempt sliced another rat in half, but his next swing merely pushed the rat out of the way and out the door. Cortae's sword gutted another, and Nikandros's ray of frost froze one in its tracks while his cat happily ate another. Nikandros, however, is swarmed and bitten by three rats just after he gets his spell off ((3hp)). Luthor's chain scattered rats right and left, sending three careening into a wall.<br/><br/>Two rats swarmed Brother Anthony, both biting him ((2hp)) before he can shake them off.  Lyell is bitten twice again as his efforts to fight them off fail ((2hp)), and Kyndal's mace smashes a third before it, too, can attack. Anya's rat decided he liked the taste of her toes so much that he went for another ((1hp)). She did get a lucky kick at it, smashing the hapless creature between her foot and the wall and killing it. The last three  rats scampered out the door.<br/><br/>((there are just these 7 rats left))
