Round 2 Begins!

Bartigan draws his long sword with practiced ease. You can’t help but notice that the blade glows with a familiar light. You know you have seen a blade like that before.

Bartigan slashes at the lead Wererat with an anxious blow!

Magic Long Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Potential Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

The Wererat lifts its blade almost blocking Bart’s attack!

The Wererats move seeking to work around the both of you as they hack at you both with their brutal swords!

Wererats 2 and 3, and 5 and 6 take 5 foot steps and gain flanking bonus!

Wererat 1 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Wererat 2 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Wererat 3 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Wererat 4 on Leoran: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Wererat 5 on Leoran: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Wererat 6 on Leoran: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

You both fight with the deadly skill of those trained in Galadan, blocking and avoiding all of the incoming hits! The Wererats have never faced opponents such as the two of you before!

Leoran is up!

Leoran addresses the Wererat's before him. "We're not here to invade. We're trying to leave this damned city before it's destroyed. If you have anything or anyone you care about down here, you should be more worried about them. Send someone up top if you don't believe me. The only thing blocking our way out is you and we will go through you if we must."

Leoran turns to focus his attention to the Wererat on his left and slices at him with a powerful blow. The Wererat below Leoran on the map.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Critical Threat!
Threat Confirmation: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Critical Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

The Wererats head comes clean of its body just as you finish your sentence!

Round 4 Begins!

Bartigan slashes at the injured Wererat before him!

Magic Long Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Potential Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

The creature hisses as it blocks his incoming blade!

Bartigans fighting style seems familiar. Roll Knowledge Nobility vs. DC 15.

The Wererat’s surge forward, some fanatical devotion seems clear in their eyes!

Wererat 1 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Wererat 2 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Wererat 3 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Wererat 4 on Leoran: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Wererat 5 on Leoran: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

You both continue to block and defend with incredible skill and precision! Leoran’s words and your apparent skill seems to give the Lycanthropes a moment of consideration!

Mistake above. This is Round 3, not 4. Leoran is up!

Knowledge - Nobility: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Leoran turns and attacks the next wererat with a mighty swing of his blade.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Critical Threat!
Threat Confirmation: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Critical Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

You make a mental note to explore Bart’s fighting style at a later time.

You slash through the next Wererat! Your magical blade slices through the monsters torso, cutting the cursed thing in half!

Round 4 Begins!

Bartigan stabs at the injured Wererat before him!

Magic Long Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
Potential Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Bartigan’s magic sword runs the Wererat through! He retracts his sword quickly, and the beast is dead before it hits the ground.

The remaining three Wererats continue to fight even though down to half of their numbers! ”You have entered the domain of the Rat King! Trespassers will pay the toll!”

Wererat 2 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Wererat 3 on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Wererat 4 on Leoran: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Threat on Bartigan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17, Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Bartigan narrowly parries one blow but is slashed across the back viciously by the others blade!

Leoran attempts to evade the incoming sword but the Wererat reverses his stroke cutting a gash along his leg!

Leoran is up!

Leoran addresses the last Wererat near him, loudly enough that the others can hear. "Are your lives really worth the toll?" Leoran attacks.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 Critical Threat!
Threat Confirmation: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Round 5 Begins!

Bartigan expertly slashes at another Wererat!

Magic Long Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Potential Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Bart slashes a deadly gash at the Wererat before him! The hideous creature hisses as he and his remaining ally withdraw into the shadows of a nearby tunnel! Bart let’s them go awaiting your orders!

The encounter has ended and you are victorious. Take 1800 EXP, and choose your next move!

"We should get a move on! If we follow the flow of the sewage, I'm hoping it will lead us toward an exit." Leoran says, as looks around to try and determine where the sewage is headed.

Bartigan nods his head and the two of you move off following the flow of water.

You follow the flowing water through the darkness of the sewer avoiding the piles of trash, debris, and nastiness. You move carefully trying your best not to get too much of the filth on you with little to no luck. You wander for over an hour through the myriad of connecting tunnels and walkways with no end in sight.

Roll Perception

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

The ground beneath you suddenly gives way!

Roll Reflex Save vs. DC 20.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

You reflexively spread your legs out, catching yourself on the edges of the open grate. You look down as you see water draining down a deep dark hole!

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

”Close,” Bart says as he begins looking for any trapped walkways.

You continue walking through the maze that is the sewer systems of Beliai. You are both covered from head to toe in the slime and muck of the surface world above.

Hours pass, with no seeming end to the myriad of twisting tunnels and passageways.

Fatigue begins to wear on the both of you.

Action?

"Let's stop a moment and get our bearings. I had hoped we would be out of here by now," Leoran says to Bart. Leoran looks around to see what his options are and if there are any exits back to the surface nearby.

Roll Perception Leoran.
