[GFRP] RATS!

Rats! Here is the thread to RATS! If you'd like any changes, please PM me.

@ChickenBonanza @IcedOutPenguin  @SpiritOfWrath 
Reginn , Galath, Teshan, and Hilda arrive at the fortress town of Honeywood, outside the town walls, a pit burns. Corpses, burning to prevent the plagues that killed them from spreading to others. As you walk inside, the town seems depressed, and everyone looks rather thin. As you spend mere moments inside, you see a pack of rats spring from the sewer, and charge at you- as though they can smell 

[ChickenBonanza]

A poor state this place was in. Reginn shook his head in a reserved expression of sadness. The rats had grown so bold.

He’d turn the ground in front of them into mud, to harden around them as soon as they’d step near.

Teshan looks around to the surrounding people.

”While that’s going on, do you have any of the infected? I can cure them, if you wish.”

He waits for the rats to near him.

Galalth draws his bow and sights at one of the rats

Rats surge into the pit, squealing as their brethren behind them trample them.

A rat sprang towards his neck.

He holds a hand forward, purging of the plague in its blood with a searing heat. It was, needless to say, not pleasant.

Reginn commanded the mud up and around, attempting to envelope as many rats as possible. Hoping to keep at least one alive.

You watch the filthy plague rat scream as its blood boils. It dies, rather unsurprisingly.

You cover them in mud as the horde surges towards you. Many rats are caught in it, squealing violently. A couple more catch onto you, and flow around the pit.

The arrow lands cleanly between it's skull. It dies silently.

MORE RATS appear

Reginn sighed as the rats scrabble their way up his robes, like climbing curtains. In an almost defeated fashion, he sat down on the ground.

And covered himself in a rapidly solidifying orb of mud.

The rats scrably against the orb, some getting caught and others not.

It flies true again, killing another

You charge forward, ready to grab some rats.

Hilda raises her hammer and places it against the ground. The rats that haven't already left the main swarm are suddenly caught within a shimmering dome.
"That's some mighty rats." She kicks one away.

He purges as many as he can, stepping in the chaos.

Slowly, the mud orb began to move, toward the thickest source of tiny vibration that could only belong to a rat swarm.

The orb’s state was constant change, pliable then not. Spikes grew on its surface only to be crushed as it rolled.

A fine pink mist appears around you, from all the boiled blood. Your Patron is pleased.

Many. MANY rats die.

Are you using arcane magic or sacred magic to do this.

The horde thins, breaks, then the few remaining rats flee underground.

A man runs up to you, "Adventures, I assume? Good that you've arrived."

Teshan nods, huffing. “Greetings. Do you have any in need of cure?”
