"Just stop already" S'ika says under her breath. Seeing Rook cast a spell on himself, she moves a little closer to Sal. To make sure none of the rats get too close to her. After a moment, she says to Sal "Hey Sal, can you do something about that red circle?!"
Nyhwll glances up from his current duties, eyes alert and staring at the section of deck from which the ruckus emanated. He then whips his gaze to meet Kelthese's, brow furrowed.
" I don't know about you, but I've a feeling this is what we signed up for... "
Without much pause or forethought, Nyhwll dashes for the entrance to the belly of the ship, eager to face whatever challenge awaits them.
OOC:
I wanted to offer an apology for the delays in my replies. I will be able to post a bit more punctually now that life's settled down!
Kelthese draws his scimitar and grips his shield tightly before chasing after Nyhwll, ready to fight. All the while cursing his luck that using his favored bow would be a pain if they are going to be below deck.
Still flowing from the red portal, the swarms of unnatural rats move through all the areas of the ship, attacking people and cargo with ravenous teeth! The party's attacks definitely have effect, with the dozens of creatures leaving bodies behind, but ignored by their fellows. Screams and cries of help are heard throughout the ship. As Nyhwll and Kelthese descend the stairs, they are met by the brown carpet of them!
Rook still takes no damage from the swarm, but every one now needs to roll that DC12 DEX against 10 points, this time. There is no need for initiative, so feel free to coordinate as the rats are on Init 1, regardless. The circle seems to be slightly smaller this round.

OOC - does no one want to post actual actions? The Rats go last every round.

Rook continues to look for those in need for aid or simply large clusters of rats to wade into and kill with his frost armor. Feeling a bit silly about it but not having any better options, he begins to slash at the swarm of rats with his unique sword, calling upon arcane energies to punish them further with each strike.
Booming Blade
Greatsword attack: 21
Damage: 12
Potential Thunder Damage on Movement, if that even applies to a swarm: 6
(Got the impression I didn't have to make that DEX save, but just in case: 15 )
Sal will unleash a spray of Magic Missiles at the rat swarm to attempt to stem their numbers. If possible, she will attempt to get closer to the arcane mark she sees on the floor.
Nyhwll eschews the idea of stabbing at the swarm with a dirk and gestures towards the rats in front of him with a practiced flourish... and slams his open hand down to the floor.
With flashing swords and other weapons, the crew and party lay waste to the swarm. Blades slip through multiple forms with each swipe, and the blood makes a mess along the way. Bodies of rats are strewn everywhere on the deck, making movement difficult. Sal's attempt to reach the glowing circle meet with success and she finds herself within arms reach. The swarm's flow seems smaller now, but still flowing from the ring. The ring itself is a disk of red light on the floor, with a gemstone in it's very center.
All players roll another Dex DC 12 save vs 6 points. Rook is exempt.

Sal manages to stave off the worst of the swarm (assuming half damage still, so 15/21 HP). She attempts to reach for the focus of the ritual, the gemstone.
Nyhwll yells in a mix of frustration and utter pain as waves of rats clamber onto his arm, clawing and biting into his arm's flesh as his tunic sleeve goes to tatters. Most are singed crisply off by the discharge of lightning he weaves through his hand, but the damage is already done. Picking himself up, Nyhwll continues through the ship's belly, attempting to find the source of the rats.

OOC - You can cast multiple spells during a round if you have reaction/bonus action or free action as the descriptor. You can only cast multiple spells during your turn if the second is a cantrip of 1 action or less. Out of your turn during a round, you can cast reaction or bonus action or free action if you cast a spell during your turn. A round consists of everyone's turns as a whole.
