Rats are omnivorous animals who will gnaw on anything. While they generally aren't dangerous alone when there are lots of them they work into a frenzy and may attack creatures much bigger than them.

Goblins are fond of them as a food and often raise lots of them in cages, feeding them scraps and such. Farm-grown rats very rarely have any disease in their bites, but ones in the wild may.

Giant rats are quite common and are easily slain.

Dire rats are bigger than normal ones and are thought to be the equivalent of rat kings. The bite of a wild dire rat carries a nasty disease.

Smaller rats will form swarms in battle and these are tricky to fight. Area or close attacks are best to deal with them.

The stablehand quickly ducks into one of the stables to keep out of the fight.

John Mulberry

John steps by Baldrej and pulls his longspear from its holster.

"Don't worry, this happens all the time though typically there aren't so many. Although, we can sell them to Sticky afterwords..."

With an expert eye for such matters John sends several quick pokes into the swarm of rats ahead of him and glares at it as if his stare could hurt it more.

Moving up to J14 and taking a Reaping Strike on the swarm at J12... heh heh, Subspace. The swarm is also Hunter's Quarried and marked, taking a -2 to attacks that aren't targeting John and incurs an AoO from him if it does. Even if I miss they still take 3 damage.

John moves forward and strikes at the rat swarm, his spear missing the rodents within but scaring off a few of them. The remaining rats in the swarm hiss and charge at him.

The rat swarm (1) at J-12 heads for John and swarms him. [underlined status shows swarm on same square]

The rat swarm (2) at I-11 goes to K-15 their eyes staring as they swarm toward Tesi.

Asheron notices the rodents swarming in and quickly fires off an orb of force at the giant rat at K10.

[Dragoon]

Dyne avoids the attack from the giant rat in front of him as he calmly states to the human behind him, "Stay there, we'll keep you safe." He retailates at the giant rat with both weapons.

Not moving, using my mark and attack on the rat in I15. If you want I can re-roll, but would rather use the rolls I already did.

The stablehand looks in terror at the fight and backs away into the corner, he pulls out a little dagger to defend himself.

The horses whinny and back up to the rear of the stable, making things a little easier for the others... thought perhaps a bit late.

[Randel]

DM as Baldrej

Baldrej looks at the situation as it begins to get ugly.

"This looks like a job for a HERO! Breath of Justice!"

He takes a deep breath and breaths forth a burst of frigid cold air that hits John and all the rats surrounding him.

Surprisingly, the dragonborn paladins attack was horribly ineffectual and only resulted in a cool refreshing breeze hitting the rats... though John gets some mushy snow in his hair.

[Darkantra]

John Mulberry

John runs a hand through his now damp hair and glares at the paladin.

"Oh that's great, did you descend from a shaved ice dragon?"

Grumbling his way through it, John swipes his spear crosswise and attemps to slash at the two rats in front of him before stepping out of the swarm.

The wizard snaps his fingers and a crack of thunder hits some of the rodents, launching them away from the group. The two Dire Rats are shaken by this sudden attack and work to get their bearings (because I'm feeling too lazy to have them attack). One of the giant rats and the corpses of the two recently slain rats EXPLODE and some of the bloody mess hits John.
