Strange Aeons: Ash's Redoubt [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R4T25: Akbar steps back to where he can see the rat swarms in both rooms, but with the door shut he realizes he can only see the rats in this room. He thinks quietly for a second, and then the rats themselves are swarmed by blinking lights that scurry along the floor like glowing insects.

"Don't worry about those lights on the floor... they're mine and they won't hurt us."

Spoiler: Akbar

Silent image is from your mesmerist side and is a psychic spell. No tongue-wagging, finger-babbling, or trinket-tossing required.

R4T23: Corbin narrows his eyes and aims, trying to peg the ratling with a bolt while it's otherwise occupied chucking books. Unfortunately, its small size and the cover from bookcase (due to height differential) spoils Corbin's shot.

R4T19: Flair realizes there is only one place in the entire world where he wants to be: away from these rats. He high tails it around the table, hoping to interpose it between himself and them.

R4T18: R1 backs up five feet and gets closer to the wall (putting him out of LOS for shooters on the floor, but Maeni and Zoo are fine). It then gives Zoo a fierce look and squeaks loudly.

R4T15: Zoo, that squeak definitely carried supernatural power and terror with it, but your mind is too strong to be duped by such a creature. What do you do?

Spoiler: Battle Tracker
