Fucking rats.
BR 20 and 10, for 14 and 5 points of damagy goodness. That's the free round, and ratmen first, of course.
Next round - BR 12 and 13, for 4 and 6 points of damage. I'm imagining that puts down the rats on me.
If there is another round after that - BR 8 and 7, for 5 and 3 points of damage (if the rats are AC 7 or worse, since my THACO's 14).
Yeah. I say we go deal with the doggie thing, and maybe expand his chain to keep the rats away from OUR guy as well as this other guy. We've got a Druid around, right? Isn't there some sort of speaking or charming or soothing or something you could do?
Two-headed dogs are natural animals in these parts, right? As natural as spiderbots, I would imagine.
And - I imagine we'll all be diseased after going through this stinking ratty sewer. If we're spending more than a day down here let's go get the cure - otherwise, no point in fleeing everytime we get a cut, since we're likely to get re-infected.
