Somehow, I don't think using two different descriptions of 'swarm' is a good starting point.

Per the swarm subtype, that damage should be doubled I'm pretty sure.

Ah, so an area affect does +50% damage, unless the area affect does not allow a save, in which case it does double. Good to know.
So, to recap, everything in the hallway, other than us, is dead? And Akemi, whom we have not heard from this round, is through the portal with Skizzorz?I forget, are those 5' squares on the map?
No, there is still a rat swarm covering Axejack.
Oh yes, you are totally covered in rats. Don't let them get in your beard, you'll be picking out corpses for days.Go ahead and post your AoO in the thread then. With the combined forces, you kill it. After which it is still Berid's turn.
