The party sees the meal being prepared and decide to slay these murderers before they can devour the poor soul. Whilst there isn't enough room to set up a true ambush, the party know they can get a few shots in before the rats see them. Waiting patiently they wait for Jacks signal to attack. Taking an arrow and notching it Jack pulls the bow and takes aim at the biggest rat ogre. [attack roll + surprise = 12= hit] It isn't the best shot he's loosed recently, infact he nearly missed, but he just about manages to strike the massive target weakly in the thigh. [Damage = 5 - 2 = 3] With a great squeak of rage the rat loses interest in the meal and turns directly at his assailants!
Not waiting for the rats to recover Billy throws his torch at the closest rat [attack roll = 14 = hit] and manages a better shot than his ally. The rat flails at the fire, not taking any actual damage but he is clearly too scared to even try to fight back at the moment. [skips go] The rat ogre rushes forward to meet the charging heroes, his big talons gleaming in the firelight. He meets Boris's charge head on! [attack roll = 14] His momentum carries him straight into Boris nearly knocking him off his feet, whilst Boris does his best to defend he isn't able to fend the huge rat off and he painfully receives a blow to the midsection. [damage roll = 9 - 4 = 5 damage to Boris - 20 health] Swinging wildly with his mace [attack roll = 14 = hit] he catches the rat in the chest and forces it away from him. [damage roll = 12] It grunts with pain and is more wary of the big badger than he was previously.
The second rat who was turning the spit turns and rushes over to a pile of weapons and grabs a sword. He spins warily and looks ready to fight!
Simon takes advantage of Billys distraction and tries to attack the blinded rat. [attack roll = 13 = hit] After all the practice he's had recently with stabbing vulnerable animals Simon has no difficulty stabbing at the helpless rat, though a quirk of fate causes it to flail in fear aside from a fatal blow. [damage roll = 6 - 2 = 4 damage] Whilst he doesn't kill it, he does give it a painful slash.
With his smaller legs Humphrey is last to make it to the rats. Ignoring the one flailing at the fire he rushes towards the furthest rat. Locking eyes the cowardly rat quickly moves to put the fire between himself and the valiant mouse! Without a whisker of fear, Humphrey doesn't check his speed, instead using his spear he vaults himself over the fire before bringing it round elaborately mid air to impale at the rat! [attack roll = 12 + 2 stunt points = hit + mighty blow] With all his weight behind the blow the spear passes straight into the bowls of the shocked rat before continuing into the dirt. [damage roll = 7 + 5 mighty blow - 2 = dead] The rat groans in agony as Humphrey yanks the spear out with a great sucking noise.
