[lostsole31]

Once the party makes their way mostly up the stairs and within 5' of the rats, that's it, the chittering gets really loud and they surge forward to swarm - be it hungry, protective of territory, or pushed by supernatural menace!

Round One Begins ...

R1T25: Othello, your silver crane has helped get you moving before the rats, but now that battle is on you your stance has dropped. Shield readied, waraxe in hand. What do you do? To step up 5' is actually worth 10' of movement because you're moving upstairs.

R1T25: Othello steps forward and lets loose with a battle cry that immediately boosts everyones confidence and he swings his axe at the nearest rat. He kills several, in fact, doing 6 mod to the group.

R1T23: "Rats are disgusting creatures..." Razvan says before he utters brief spell components and launches a green glob of acid at the rats further up the stairs, killing a couple for 4 acid to the group.

R1T22: The rats surge foward. Othello swings ineffectually before he and Abrax are swarmed. Othello takes 4, and Abrax takes 3. Othello's nerves are steel, but Abrax is freaked out by the rats (distracted).

R1T15: Zauberei sees the swarming of the rats and says, "Multiple opponents calls for an area of effect."

He wants to move forward, but realizes the only space that is "open" has plenty of rats in it. Seeing as Othello and Abrax were wounded, he protects those two and Hargrimm from his burst, but he has not the focus to protect Razvan (whom he knows should be fine), and the burst still will wash over Marius (and unbeknowns to Zauberei over Paula as well). The swarm takes only 3 negative energy as they are shadowed by some of the stairs and the two heroes. Marius and Paul likewise see the dark storm coming and resist it so that Marius takes 4 NE, and Paula takes 3 NE.

Still, it was a tactical maneuver, as none of those in the party (except Paula, whom Zauberei doesn't notice) have taken damage from rats or dark energy beyond the fortification Hargrimm has given them, where as the rats have no such protection.

R1T13: Hargrimm, you feel ... icky. Zauberei protected you, you an tell, but dark energies still washed over the party from him. Still .. the rats. What do you do?

R1T13: Hargrimm gives a queasy burp from the sensation of negative energy surrounding him. He shakes off the feeling and drops his staff, freeing up his glowing hand to send a vortex of light into the swarm. The light blasts into the rats for 9, scattering several.

R1T10: Abrax, because of time spent investigating and moving, your enhanced senses has gone away. You are having a freakout right now with the rats and can't concentrate on anything really useful.

R1T9: Marius swings his hammer down at the swarm with unnatural speed, as the gloom and doubt within him surge outward toward the rats. The head of the hammer is enough to kill enough rats dramatically, that with everything else natural and unnatural thrown at them thus far, the rats scatter up the stairs, down the stairs, down the side of the stairs, and into nooks and crannies to get away from the pain of the people that came to intrude on their home.

R1T23: "Begone foul creature!" Razvan shouts as he draws his pistol quicker than the eye can follow and lets loose with two quick shots. The first shot misses, Razvan used to hitting targets the width of a man, but his second shot hits and he leans his focus into it to maybe be more destructive, and yet all he hears is the sound of ricochet and the scythe seems undamaged.

R1T9: The scythe attacks Abrax. Though not yet aware the boar-headed man's sixth sense kicks in as he does a hard block to the haft of the scythe.

Spoiler: Hargrimm

Show

When Hargrimm thinks about the effects, he realizes that this is a construct, not undead ... BUT it took damage like undead, which means it is a "haunted" animated object. So, while a floating object, it is animated by negative energy so positive energy effects are particularly effective against it even though they would normally have no effect against animated objects and constructs normally.

"It's not undead, but a haunted object. Takes damage like undead, though."

R1T6: Othello will try to move east in an attempt to flank and strike out with his axe. On his way, though, the headsman's scythe catches Othello's foot for 4, not really causing any real wounds. Though he swings and misses, a straight up fight is more Othello's speed as he calls out, "Ha-haaaaa!! THIS is more like it!"

He does sense evil in the direction he's currently looking.

The temperature in the whole area drops to freezing, and Othello breathes out a puff of moist, warm air even as he takes 6 negative energy damage as something is trying to steal his living warmth and strength!

R1T6: Hearing Othello's scream, Marius moves into Othello's room with his lantern held high to see what is the matter, and he tries to understand what exactly is going on. He sees that most of this barred off auditorium now has a rime of ice all over (the blue area of effect). The danger seems spiritual in nature, so he keeps his light in hand and scans the room carefully with it, attempting to discern a source or solution to the problem. Such a problem does, in fact, make itself known as Marius takes 1 cold. The instant the bite of cold occurs, he calls on his inner sense to successfully fight off any strength-sapping or hypothermia that might come with it.

R2T18: Paul moves up some to keep her master in view. Not seeing him and not understanding the danger she moves into the room, and behind him and near the wall, but takes 6 cold +1 STR.

R2T13: Razvan steps up warily to the door to the east where Othello seems to have found new friends. "Now, what is all this screaming about...?"

In moving, Razvan senses undead in the area. With his eyeballs, however, he sees a significant area of frost and Othello with mist coming from his mouth, and a little bit of Marius the same as well. Razvan seems to think he might know what this is, and for good measure sends a disrupt undead randomly into the room, but not seeing a "source" nothing happens with that.

R2T9: As the others yell and run into danger, Abrax takes a second to center himself, again entering into a deeper connection with his senses. He moves toward the door, allowing those senses to extend into the room ahead of him. Getting inside, and still sensing nothing unseen compared to his normal senses, beyond a cold area in the space where he finds himself. Now that he is there, he takes 3 cold, but resists any other effect.

Not an unusually warm day, except that for the season (Calistril, a la February).

Moving in just now and having his body moving and his blood pumping must have helped, as he only takes 1 cold.

R3T7: "Fine! If we can do little to harm it, then let us retrace our steps, and perhaps we will come across some way to cleanse the area further on... Everyone out..."
Othello waits until everyone is out and safe before backing out himself, taking 5 cold as he begins the well-known "Conga Line of Heroic Doom."

R3T5: Marius, you realize you just took Zauberei's light away. Anyway, what do you do? Just wait for everyone to muster outside with you?

R3T5: Having warmed his spirit by the light outside, Marius swivels around to see nobody has followed him and so heads back into the central room with his lantern. Noticing an ongoing commotion in the cold room he left, Marius urges those still in there, "Weapons won't work: only heat or maybe healing magics. For your sakes, please fall back." To practice what he preaches, Marius scans the room for cloths he might convert into torch material, but the mold and fungi in this whole opening section long ago ruined any cloth.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T18: Paula squeaks in annoyance as she now skitters back the other way to be with Marius (in the same square).

R4T15: Hargrimm, what do you do?
