Surprise Round!

The entire group is surprised as a squirming, squeaky mass of of rats with rotting flesh, torn and matted fur, and reddish blazing eyes moves toward them. Their semi-translucent skin shows discolored bones and muscle. Abenor is able to get a sudden strike in for 6 mod among the mass, killing several rats. Meanwhile, the rats swarm over Aasgar (4 mod + 3 STR), Abenor (8 mod + 2 STR), and Imrijka (10 + 3 STR). Not only do they nip and bite mercilessly, but their very bites chill the heroes to the bone, numbing their muscles.

Begin Round One ...

R1T22: "Shadow rat swarm!" calls Imrijka. "Undead rats like we fought under the plague house, but a whole swarm of them now. Spread out, and don't stay in with them." She takes out a flask of alchemist's fire. "Sorry, guys," she says to the dwarf and elf as she backs up to the east, "I'll give a few extra seconds, but this is the best way."

R1T18: Abenor nods his understanding. He also takes out a flask of alchemist's fire and looks to Aasgar with a plaintive shrug before heading south.

R1T13: The unholy terrors continue to nibble on Aasgar to cause 10 mod + 1 STR.

R1T12: Aasgar, what do you do? You are being engulfed and weakened by undead rats.
