I guess I could retcon for opossums
Oh; I'm a f#~+ing burnout......one guy allready rolled init.
So it's their roll.
You guys won initiative.
Rholf ignites the sunrod and tosses it ahead of them , then readies his hammer for a fight.
Yeah; it's the right one.
It might be zoomed down for you; IDK.

Doesn't seem to bother the rats.

Ah, sorry. In my phone, I saw the smaller map in the upper left corner and didn't realize there was more map to the right. On my laptop, it's all there.
"Light'em if you got'em!" Edwin calls out in a strong, low voice with a dock workers heavy slur.
He pulls a clay jar from beneath his coat, and tosses it into one of the swiftly nearing swarms of furry fury. Meanwhile his eyes are searching for more, dangerous, vermin than these,...
But he is obviously far too engaged with the current foes to worry about suspected bloodsuckers.
:)
The rats shriek as they get burninated.
And keep on coming.
selfspoiler:
Alinya sits in her room as a pot of tea chills next to her and the lamp oil burns low. There had, perhaps, been a knock on her door earlier, but she was engrossed in tomes, scrolls, and transcribing new forms of power into her spellbooks.
She looks up as a chill presentiment crosses the back of her neck. Briefly she wonders where her companions are. Probably enjoying the common room or a nearby tavern. Safe enough without me, I'm sure.
There's a commotion outside. In the alley next to the inn.
Sighing in exasperation, Alinya closes her book, carefully marking her place with a strip of leather, and puts down her pen. Rising, she pulls the cord that rings the bell that summons the servant to attend her.
"There seems to be some unseemly ruckus occurring outside my window. Do I need to attend to it myself?"
You hear fervent conversing, between two at least people.
Then the unique tintinnabulations of blade on blade, the jingle bells song of the black back alley.
In other scenes,.....
Larissa and Leik are up to bat.
another fire flask!
previous one hit burns more!
self spoiler
Leik adds to the mayhem, a glint in his eyes now.
Larissa.....
Alinya cracks open the shutters on her second store window and peers out. Perhaps she can stop a robbery or other petty crime? Exciting!
She can't see where it is from her window; it's around the corner.
She rarely asks for a room with a view of the yucky alley.
Having no effective weapon to use against a swarm of rats, Larissa concentrates on the potential of other threats.
The rats surge forth.
Edwin and Leik are attacked by the burning rats.
damage plus 1 from burning.
Rholf is also attacked by another set.
They seem to be crawling up Leik and Rholf as well. And attaching to them and sucking their blood. A mass of greedy red eyes considers them hungrily.
Rholf and Leik each gain a negative level.
-1 to roll to hit, skill checks, etc, and 5 less hp each.....
self spoiler:
Group's attack.
Leik lets out a sound, you're not sure if it is a cough in pain or a maniacal laugh as he grabs an alchemist's fire and smashes it on the rats on him. The little man becomes engulfed in flames.
fire
fire on the previous burned rats
Seeing the rats behaving like little vampires, Larissa channels the power of her goddesses to harm the creatures besetting the party.
self spoiler:
rat 4 at max.
Leik immolates himself and the rat swarm. Larissa destroys them, and they turn into mist and seem to be heading toward a coffin in the pile of crates.
She seems to harm the ones on Rholf and the one to the upper right as well.
Edwin and Rholfy
Well, if I can't see anything from here, I shall just have to go and investigate myself.
Finding that she cannot see the source of the commotion, and also that the inn staff seem to be sadly tardy in replying to her call, Alinya throws a cloak over her grey traveling robe and heads downstairs into the common area of the inn.
She looks around for a burly stableman or well-muscled bouncer.
"VAmpiric rats?!? That's a little low, even for blood suckers, isn't it?" Edwin says tauntingly as the remaining rats regroup.
The detective pulls out a different clay flask, takes aim, and tosses it at the remaining swarm not currently chewing on his friend.

There's a tough guy. Swordsman. A customer.
That's about it. In the tavern, eating a hunk of beef on a fork.

Rholfy!!!
Infuriated at such an indignity, Rholf manages to contain himself, and channels to singe the little buggers...
Channel positive energy:

rat 4 at max.
Rholf destroys neither of the two rat swarms in his range.
His swarm as well as the other two morph up, rats climbing into a stack roughly human shape as they shift into humanoids; gaunt, dead, with sharp teeth and claws. And red beaming eyes.
Rolf's foe misses with a wild swipe of his claws.
v4 doesn't do anything.
v3 attempts to dominate Leik; DC 14 wil save......
group's attack!!!!!
vs DC 14

Alinya approaches him, drawing up to her full, diminutive, height and assuming an imperious expression.
"You there, my man. Yes, you with the sword and all the muscles. How would you like to earn yourself a few gold? I need some temporary protection while my companions are about their business. Can I rely on you for some body guard duties?"
Larissa will stop alongside Rholf as her body transforms to golden light.

He continues munching on his side of beef as he asks "how much?"
Good thing you're not hiring him for charm school lessons.
Right on. I moved her "behind" him, because to the side of him would put her in the vampire's reach.
I'll put her there then.
