The rats are not surprised and they act swiftly (22 Ini) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=48987). They charge towards the barbarian who is most obvious hostile target! With squeaks they charge!<br/><br/>(Steelsmitter can roll AoO vs one the three rats)<br/><br/>The rats leap and try take a bite on Iona! Two rats succeed (22 and 14) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=48988) get past her guard and take vicious bites (3pts dmg total, roll two fort save DC 11) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=48991) on her! Then party acted; Tigara casting a spell which makes one rats squeak painfully! Moshi fires crossbow bolt but the melee distracted her aim and bolt hits instead flour sack. Iona other hand makes sweep with her glaive and makes a meaty cleaved mess one of the rats!<br/><br/>OOC: Situation; 1 rat dead (perhaps 2 if Iona's AoO connects well, she rolls 50% chance did she off one the rats which hit her). 1 injured rat with 1 HP left and Jonas has not acted yet.<br/><br/><em>Meanwhile.....</em><br/><br/>Ren moves to next area, it's outside a city field where folks are trying hack and defeat pack of wild goblin dogs (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/animals/dog/goblin-dog) which are harassing a farmer who owns rather large farming area. She saw some new comers stumbling about and some running screaming until beasty's programmed AI resets their location and so leave target which moved outside aggro range of them (which is quite far in fact). But some showed competence of players who knew what they were doing.<br/><br/>Ren knows from experience this area is<em>limited spawn</em>zone. Meaning there is certain number of respawns for these dogs until area runs dry and so it cannot be no longer farmed. Each day had around 30 or so spawns and max spawns were 300. So ten days worth of farming material for new players if players focus on this quest. Some players ignored this and wanted explore instead and go look other quests. Once all dogs are defeated all players get their share of XP and gold given by grateful farmer.
