R5T14: Now that her allies are supported, Maeni steps down off the table and shoots a ray of fire, now that she's sure that no books will catch fire. "Beware the other one behind!"

Because it took her some effort to get off the table, she takes some cover with the table there and hits the SW corner for the rat swarm to the south for 13 fire, which crisps more than a few rats.
Spoiler: Maeni

Took a move action to climb down off the table. To not hit the table or Akbar, the best you could was just barely catch the swarm to the south.

R5T12.5-11: The swarm to the east proves just how adept they are at climbing as they surge up and onto the whole eastern side of the table, biting and getting Flair for 5. The swarm that Maeni just hit with fire likewise goes up the table, and now the massive library is swarmed with rat as Corbin takes 6 and Akbar takes 4.

R5T5: Seeing Akbar and Corbin really getting chewed up, Bangs sends forth healing through his collection to give them both 3. He then moves up to the center, stepping onto a chair and up onto the middle table.

R5T4: Once again, Zoo feels a wave of fear wash over him, trying to turn him from the battle.

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R6T25: Akbar...there are rats covering the top of this massive table (including you). What do you do?
Spoiler: Akbar ...

roll a Fort save in the OOC vs. DC 12 or be distracted. I want you to roll there so you don't have to double-post, but you know how to run your action based on the result of that roll. A fail = nausea; a success = unaffected.


Corbin & Flair...
Spoiler: Corbin, Flair
Show
See Akbar's note above. Roll Fort save OOC, and use the result to help guide your IC action so as to not double-post.

Corbin on deck, Flair in the hole ...
