Okay Cladius dies from the horde of rats.
You have enough equipment that you could pay for a raise dead casting, or
You could also reincarnate him, without selling equipment.
Or Cladius can make a new level 1 character
Dax Thrua, and Newt may make an AoO against M (8)
Planswalker you took damage a couple of turns ago, please list it on your sheet. 3 points
Dax Thrua you also took damage. Also list it on your sheet please. 2 points.

assuming we start off anywhere, I'll have myself start on K7 and roar on J7, cast magic fang on Roar and have him take a 5 foot step and use his poison spray facing G10 which should catch both of the rats *.
Poison spray
SpoilerPoison Spray (Ex): When threatened, a swindlespitter
sprays a corrosive poison in a 15-foot cone from its mouth.
Contact; Fort DC 12; initial damage blindness for 2d4 minutes;
secondary damage 1d4 Con. The swindlespitter can
spray this poison once every 1d4 rounds. Swindlespitters
flee from blinded opponents if possible. The save DC is
Constitution-based.Last edited by Dramiscius; 2011-07-30 at 02:48 PM.
