R1T12: Aasgar does a swift maneuver with a shout to his allies, and then moves south at his maximum speed trying to dodge any attacks. He finds he is able to just hustle without any special movements, as the rats are really too small and in their own way to threaten. He gets up to Abenor, and his friend's presence reminds Aasgar that he is a not just a defensive protector, but an offensive one as well.

R1T11: Lucette, hearing the commotion, squeaks a warning to Cici before hiding back in the folds of her mantle and hood.

R1T7: Bariswort starts shouting in that bizarre language again. He then does what might be the tactically worst thing possible, and double moves to have Abenor and Aasgar screen him .... so now three heroes are all standing together again.

R1T6: Cici's hand glows with her healing hex and she pushes through a bunch of rats to do 10 PE. She then rushes over by Imrijka so each cell of heroes can see each other.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T22: Imrijka adjusts position to get Cici out from in front of her. She tosses the alchemist's fire, but botches the throw and it falls harmlessly between the girls and the rats.

R2T18: Abenor shrugs as he looks at Aasgar and then heads back towards the rats - closing the distance by half - before throwing his flask. He doesn't miss, though honestly it the initial burst of fire is not impressive as it only does 2 fire across the mass, and doesn't catch fire. Aasgar hears Abenor cursing under his breath, because it's a little known fact that Abenor is terrified of swarms of creatures; mainly bugs, true, but the idea of being overwhelmed by a mass of creatures is one of his great fears.

R2T13: The shadow rat swarm acts as expected, going for the closest threat ... Abenor. They surround him, and so completely frazzled by them as he is Abenor swings wildly and ends up nicking himself with his supremely sharp katana for 2 bleed. Meanwhile, from the rats he takes 7 mod + 1 STR.

R2T12: Aasgar, what do you do?

Bariswort on deck, Cici in the hole ...
