Cresting the rubble pile, you charge in, easily dispatching the remaining two rats. The woman gives you a smile of thanks before hurling a bag of fine powder in your faces. As you cough and blink, you can feel the powder burning at your sinuses. At the same time, from high on the walls, three figures lean out from sheltered alcoves and begin firing arrows into your midst.
Tamis and Bob each take an arrow, and immediately feel dizzy as some substance coating the barbed shafts burns in their veins. Then, with a squaking frenzy, another 5 of the giant dire rats charge out of the tunnels, led by a wererat in hybrid form. The wererat's rapier dove into Tamis' arm, and again she felt the creeping numbness spreading from the wound.
Everyone needs to make a DC15 Fort save or take Con damage.
Tamis needs to make 2 DC18 Fort saves against poison or take Con damage from the first, and Con damage from the second.
Bob needs to make a DC18 Fort save against poison or take Con damage.
Tamis takes 5 damage from the arrow, and 4 damage from the rapier.
Bob takes 6 damage from the arrow.

The three wererats in the walls are 10' up with partial cover.
I am beginning to think that we have been deceived!

"I hate deceivers and lairs, time to put this one to the sword of truth."

Tamis grins against the pain, trusting in her natural Dwarven stubbornness to fight off the poison. She takes a massive swing at the Wererat, anger carrying her blow.
Wesley sees the ambush may turn sour soon.
He guides his dog back a step and casts. Tamis, Trihedron, Eva, Bob and Wesley's dog find themselves hasted.

Eva easily drops the nearest rat and grins at the "helpless female", who pales visibly. The woman swung her sword at the giant, but not very effectively. Another rat disintegrates in a ball of fire as Abroshqualmie's spell takes effect. The wererat managed to shake off the effects of Bob's spell, but took a massive blow from Tamis as he was distracted. Trihedron moves up the rubble wall to see what the noise is all about.
The wererat recovers and lashes out at Tamis with blade and teeth. Both connect, hard, and Tamis reels back with blood streaming from the blade wound in her side, and her cheek laid open from the wererat's teeth. Then, another rain of arrows came down, one piercing Bob's left hand.
Tamis takes 20 damage total, and needs to make me a Fort save.
Bob takes 6 damage

"Time to face your judgement."

Haste effects
The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with one natural or manufactured weapon. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.
Tamis grimaces against the pain, the blood streaming down her arm from her cheek but feels little effects from the poison, her stubborness helping fight off the leeching effects of the wererats bite.
"That's it I have had enough of damn rats."
Don't forget bless
Wesley rides his mount over the top of the pile and fires two scorching rays at the two rats in front of the lady.
Both rays hit the rats, and Wesley retreats back to the other side of the pile. His dog is moving extra fast.
Abrishqualmie's ball of fire burned one of the large dire rats to cinders, while Wesley's burning rays took care of the others. One of the wererats in the nearest alcove fell to the cave floor, peppered with arrows from Trihedron's bow. His lycanthrope skin was just not tough enough to turn aside so many powerful arrows. Evangline growled at the deceptive woman before her and smashed her to the ground with heavy blows. The woman tried to rise, but the barbarian's final blow crushed her to the ground for good. Bob tried to strike the wererat leader, but his crystalline sword had little effect on the wererat. Tamis, however, had better luck. The wererat's head flew through the air, landing to roll on the cave ground for a few feet, severed by the dwarf's mighty blow. Up in the alcoves, the remaining two ambushers looked at each other and then bolted, scurrying through tunnels at the back of the alcoves.
Looking up from the storm of combat, still blinking the itching dust from your eyes, you can see that this hallway appears to be a nexus of smaller tunnels, with a half dozen or so tunnels intersecting in this open space. There is also a wide staircase to the west, leading down in to the darkness.
Congratulations! That was a nasty ambush, and yet you made it through fairly well.
Loot list:
does anyone need more healing?
BoB in a very sincere voce turns to Abroshqualmie
"Abroshqualmie Gnome friend I'm am indeed of need of healing, my wounds are most deep, But Tamis who stayed by my side I fear is harmed far worse then I, I know that channeling the divine power is quite tasking if so please for are sake heal her first............
*changing to a lighter tone*
.....Also not to alarm you Tamis. You may have bin infected with lycanthropy from the wererat but I'm sure Abroshqualmie can take care of that and most of are poising right"
*with a hope full smile*
"Can I take a short bow and 15 arrows? I forgot my good bow at home."
*he says with a small frown*
"We fell prey to our own will to assist" - Trihedron pipes in - "For a moment there I grew suspicious of the way we were being drawn out, but it was too late" - she shakes her head, then turns to her companions - "Well done to all, we fought back the trap against dire odds"
As Bob shows his will to take the bow and some arrows, she nods - "Of course friend, take it and put it to good use. I will take the remaining arrows."
does anyone need more healing?
"I am well" - she retorts - "Only a lingering, sickening feeling from our run in with that monstrosity back there" - she indicates, referring the monster that moved out of the toilet.
"As for these items" - she indicates the gathered loot - "Mayhaps we can ascertain their properties?"
.....Also not to alarm you Tamis. You may have bin infected with lycanthropy from the wererat but I'm sure Abroshqualmie can take care of that and most of are poising right"
*with a hope full smile*
Trihedron turns an alarmed look on her sister - "You think that is possible..? How are you feeling sister?" - she asks, approaching Tamis.
"I think we should get this stuff checked, never knowing if a cursed item is in the lot."
Once the evil doers are dead abrosh channels
Wesley examines items with detect magic.
Noticing Wesley examining the items, Trihedron moves closer - "Anything useful?" - her eyes are still watching their surroundings, wary of any additional attackers, or the ones that escaped.
Cloak = cloak of elvenkind
rapier = +1 rapier
"A cloak like mine that lets you hide and a magic rapier!!"
Wesley hands over the items to others, as he has little use for them.
"We ready to head on? I will probably want to replenish spells at some point, but for now I have some rays left."
"I could use a Shortbow, but all of these are too small."
Tamis jumps a little with shock as Bob mentions the risk of Lycanthropy. "I feel fine. I could feel some of those rapiers and teeth were likely poisoned, but dwarves are made of sterner stuff then most of you, and I don't feel any effects from that." Tamis laughs nervously before looking over at her approaching sister. "Thank you for you concern sis, but really, I'm fine. A couple of rats aren't going to mess with me."
Trying to take her mind of the risk of lycanthropy, Tamis looks over the items. "If that cloak truly does what you say it does, I wouldn't mind it. I suspect I'll still be out front, and anything to keep me out of sight would be most welcome."
Tamis starts to climb back over the pile of debris. "Be right back. Need to go grab my bow, no way am I leaving that thing down here for someone else!"
Abrosh takes time and looks over everyone's wounds
Feel free to look at everyone's health status with that roll.
Abrosh sees that some of his comrades are still wounded, though all seem free of disease. He summons his healing magics again and channels it
