[Melblen_Cairn]

Sunlit radiance burns through the rat, scouring it's soul and uplifting Dunor nearby.

Tulugaq's whispered curses cause the Wererat's eyes to glow with a dismal light. It shrieks, grabbing it's head in both hands and collapses to the floor.

The remaining dire rat leaps towards Dunor, biting and gnashing, but the large man displays his agility again and dodges the snapping jaws of the beast.

Dunor takes advantage of the situation, stabbing his sword into the vulnerable spot on the Dire Rat where the lance of light hit it.

(click to show/hide)

{Standard} Clever Strike against the Dire Rat.
Attack: 1d20(4)+8+2(CA)+2(LoF)=16
Damage: 1d6(2)+2d6(6,3)+6=17 damage

I'm guessing that if that hits, given the damage the other Dire Rats took, it's enough to take this one down. If not, then I'll Shift to F8.

[Bartholomew]

Shandien parallels Dunor's movement, striking the dire rat to ensure its demise.

Just as insurance if Dunor hasn't finished off the rat already.

Move: Shift to F10
Standard: Booming Sword against Dire Rat [vs. AC] (1d20+4+Combat Advantage=20,1d8+4=5); 1d6+1=5 conditional thunder damage
Minor: Aegis of Shielding on Dire Rat

[Melblen_Cairn]

Pulling their blades free, the dire rat falls to the stone unmoving.

Give me saving throws against Filth Fever infection. Failure indicates you are infected and suffer the initial stages which is the loss of a healing surge while you are on that stage.

After the next extended rest you will need to roll an Endurance Check to see if you improve. If someone with the Heal skill tends to you throughout and extended rest then they can substitute their heal check in place of the Endurance check.

Fresco Chamber Fight Ends!

A quick breather after the fight does each of you some good. Tanthalus looks over the woman to determine what is ailing her.

(click to show/hide)

The woman clearly burns up with fever, but something else must also be causing her delirium. Some coaxing may bring her back to reality.

Getting the Woman to Talk Round 1 Begins!

Bluff - Perhaps deceive the woman into thinking she knows you from Loudwater (1 success only).

Diplomacy - Convince the woman she is now safe and to open up again.

Insight - Use to possibly devise what is her mental trauma and what was the cause. (1 Success only).

Intimidate - You might threaten her with consequences of not speaking.

I ready an attack action in case anyone enters the room/

[Bartholomew]

Knowing little besides basic first aids, Shandien moves toward the entrance to keep watch.

[Inspectre]

(Yeah, I think Galadren will spend a healing surge given he only gains 6 HP from a full surge anyway.  Dunno if using the Heal skill to treat the woman's infected bites and untying her will convince her we're friendly, but that's what Galadren will do this round of actions anyway.)

While there was already a crowd around the poor woman, the elf decides that she should add his own thoughts to the efforts to revive her.

"Maybe we should help her outside - fresh air might help after being trapped down here with the vermin."

Approaching the group, Galadren discretely draws his dagger - the last thing the woman needed to see was someone brandishing a weapon at her - and carefully cuts the ropes holding her arms immobile.  He does not yet free her feet, however, as the woman could potentially switch from a catatonic to a paranoid manic state, and flee from them over a misunderstanding into further danger.  This accomplished, Galadren stowed the dagger and pulled out a few spare strips of cloth that he was using for bandages and his waterskin.  He soaks one of the makeshift bandages with the waterskin, and uses it to wet the woman's lips, and if her body reacts with thirst even though her mind was elsewhere, squeezes a few extra drops into her mouth as well.  He then busies himself with using the still-wet bandage to clean out the woman's bite wounds from the rats, following up by using the other strips of cloth to bandage them after they have been cleaned.  He lets the others converse with the woman to try to get her to snap back to reality while he works, and when he is finally done he rocks back onto his heels for a moment to regard his work before backing away and turning his attention to his own pair of bite wounds from the obnoxious swarm of vermin.

Perception check: 1d20(14)+5=19

[Melblen_Cairn]

Seeing the quantity of rat feces around the woman, the bite marks on her flesh, and knowing the devious nature of wererats, Tanthalus quickly is able to summarize what the woman has gone through over the last few days.

The woman slowly begins to focus on the group around her, her breathe that was ragged gasps of horror are slowing as her hands are cut free.

Dunor looking around the room amid all the rat corpses does happen to notice that the alter used to be consecrated to some other deity before it's current service.

The woman stays focused on Theo and begins to cry as she more fully comes back to reality, "Please get me out of here." between sobs still shivering uncontrollably from the effects of the fever.
