Torrash swings his torch low to the ground, attempting to scare and burn as many of the foul rodents as possible.

Torrash sets fire to some other rats. Most of what's left of half of them panics and runs around (the remaining half of Rat Swarm 1 runs away from combat, burning, slipping itself in holes and past you)

[Anubis Dread]

If the rats were running away that was fine by Innocent! Though they left some friends... huh, it was kind of a shame to just leave the burn rats where they were when they'd already been cooked. But they'd probably been over cooked, and rat doesn't taste good at the best of times. Oh right, they were still fighting.

Flipping over to the second swarm, Innocent rawred as he 'clawed' at it with his short sword and dagger. Being dressed like a bear was fun!

Innocent manages to cut down in half or wound a dozen rats or so, but a lot of them still keep running around you, trying to bite you.

[kazooka]

Leif was out of practice with his fly swatter, that much was clear. The trick with flies and spiders was that they eventually came to a stop, and were easily targeted. Leif hardly even knew where to direct his bolts at the horde of rats.

Years of exposure and neglect have corroded the lock on the exit grate. Even with the key, a successful DEX check is needed to open the lock, or otherwise, a STR check to force the grate open.

"Let me try it" Veran asks for the key and tries it on the lock.

Veran opens the grate quietly. As he peeks outside, a group of cultists is searching the stream banks for hiding townsfolk. He notices them approaching without being spotted in return.

The raider's group consists of 2 cultists and 6 kobolds.

You all get a surprise round.
Roll initiative.

More than happy to be done with the rats, Belak switches his torch for his sword, and prepares himself for another engagement with the enemy.

[tomafox]

Veran signals the others that they have company and indicates how many there are and where.
He quietly slides out of the tunnel, drawing his crossbow and shooting one of the cultists from behind.

Leif had expected to move furtively through the city avoiding combat and rescuing survivors, as they had done on their way into the redoubt. This was beginning to look more like a running battle through the streets.

[Anubis Dread]

Those rats had tickled! But they'd scared Squeakers, so that was no good. These guys were definitely bad guys though, and not random rats that... all decided to attack people with fire. Huh, did they eat fire or something? Or they just stupid? Innocent guessed as rats they wouldn't be very smart. Squeakers was smart to an extent, but Squeakers was trained. These rats were wild. Wait, did it count as being wild if they lived inside? They probably lived off of scraps and things, so they wouldn't really be wild because they lived around and off of humans. Then again nobody claimed they were pets or livestock. Was that enough to be counted as wild?

Frowning in thought, Innocent idly nocked and shot an arrow at one of the cultists.

Remembering how well the kobold's worked attacking together, Torrash decided to try and eliminate them first. Charging along with Belak, Torrash pulls out his longsword and hacks at the nearest kobold that hasn't already been attacked.

So Leif shoots Kobold 2, freezing his legs, but he's still standing.

[Anubis Dread]

Yay, they were winning! Sort of... there were more kobolds than them, so they were losing? But they seemed to go down pretty quick.

Shrugging, Innocent shot another arrow.

Leif's turn.

[kazooka]

The battle was chaotic, and Leif only had a vague sense of what was happening caught through flashes of blades on armor. Leif thought he had managed to hit one of the kobolds with his fly swatter, but he wasn't entirely certain. He was also beginning to realize that his "fly-swatter" was a little more dangerous than its moniker had suggested. While he was aware that it was used by some mages in hazardous situations, he had chosen it largely for its inability to damage its surrounding environs when killing spiders.
