(Where did the swarms temp hp come from? Looks like the swarm property says they can't get temp hp)

 You can blame me for that. The tabaxi minstrel has a feature that grants temp hp and by kindling the fantasy that the minstrel leads the swarms with their music, I convinced our DM to make an exception and allow swarm temp HP. The whole setup reminded me in a German fairy tale, “The Rat-Catcher/Piper of Hamelin”.

 I remembered the comparison, I missed/forgot the temp hp part. I'm fine with it, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I was afraid they had simple melee resistances and somehow getting temp hp like we are. That would be a brutal combo to surpass!

Nadir gets a special bonus attack against the ravens, as they didn’t attack her even though they were marked, the normal attack against a swarm nearby (most healthy one).

Bonus: 1 plus Attack: 20 Damage: 8
Action: 3 plus Attack: 20 Damage: 6

temp HP (Nadir): 7 or 7 (horse has 9). 

 That takes another couple down, and the other damages the rat swarm’s temp hp.
