Don't you have darkvision? I think you can attack without disadvantage because this hall in particular doesn't have magical darkness. (The reason the ratmen were unseen during the start was because they were more than 60ft away)

Kk, Runt will swing recklessly at the ratman in front of her, Moving up to it if she hadn't already, and tries to crush it with her hammer.

Attack: 19 Damage: 13 + 7 thunder damage.

Runt hammer connects with the ratman with great effect. The Rat man screeches and squeaks something to it's companions in rat speak.

Val's turn.

The druid tries to end the ratman his friend has already damaged firing at him.

Attack: 14 Damage: 5

Val tries to weave an arrow past Elsara's head to hit the Ratman3. The shot flies wide and hits the ceiling however.

You guys here more squeaking that seem to be coming from everywhere due to echoes. The rats in front of you don't seem to be making them, which could only mean one thing: reinforcements are coming. Rat reinforcement is on it's way.

Ratman6 swiftly moves forward and goes in for a bite just as Runt draws her hammer away from the flesh of ratman3 she hit. Ratman6 then follows up it's bite with a quick jab from it's war pick.
Bite: 13 (Adv:5) Dmg: 3 (On hit: CON save: 15)
War Pick: 18 (Adv:3) Dmg: 3

Ouch! Double Crit: 4 + 2

Total Damage taken: 6 4(Due to resistance)
Correction: The damage of the war pick should not have +2

Ratman4 Steps moves forward to get a clear shot at Runt. It fires two bolts from it's crossbow while Runt is distracted by the sudden vicious attack.
Crossbow1: 23 (Adv: 22) Dmg: 7
Crossbow2: 18 (Adv: 14) Dmg: 4

Ratman5 moves forward and stands behind Ratman6. Almost at the exact moment Runt steadied herself after getting bit, the Ratman5 makes two thrusts at Runt's midsection with it's pike.

Pike1: 14 Dmg:4
Pike2: 8 Dmg:9
Forgot to roll advantage (Pack Tactics). P1:16 P2:15

Any chance you can give us a visual of the situation at this point? Or is it strictly theater of the mind?

As Runt moves her hammer back to strike again, she is bit in her hand by Rat6. The ratman's dirty teeth sink deep into Runt's flesh and blood oozes out. Runt quickly goes to punch the Ratman but the creature lets go and tries to pass his War pick through Runt's windpipe. Runt moves away and the pike ends up taking a chunk of flesh out of Runt's neck but doesn't hit anything vital. As Runt steadies her self and clutches her neck, she notices the sharp metal end of Rat5's pike head toward her. She nimbly manage to dodge both thrusts but it leaves her helpless against the two crossbow bolts that fly toward her. She would've easily dodged the first one if it wasn't so sudden. She takes it right in the chest. The other bolt was too fast and well aimed for her to dodge normally, let alone with so many successive attacks. The bolt gets stuck in her belly.

Total Damage taken: 4+7 = 11

Gendan's turn.

@Northwest

I had exams so I couldn't make any maps. All I have right now is a loose page with crude lines and words like "In range, out of range" and lots of pencil scratches on me.

Sorry, while you are in this mission you'll have to make do with just descriptions. I promise to have working maps up by the next mission.

(How far is Gendan from the Hexed ratman now?)

I'd say about 1 dash + some extra movement away.

Gendan will hurl another Eldritch Blast at the Hexed ratman. Attack 14 for 11 force and 4 necrotic damage. If she hits, she pulls the rat man 10ft towards her (Grasp of Hadar). Then she will continue her charge toward the enemy, keeping along a wall, if possible.

The Ratman3 blocks the attack with its shield. Gendan moves forward.

Ratman1 takes a shaky aim with its crossbow and fires at Runt.
Crossbow1: 11 Dmg: 10
The Ratman steadies his hands and fires the second shot with greater accuracy.
Crossbow2: 9 (Adv:7) Dmg: 5

The Ratman2 moves forward and stands behind Ratman3 and makes two thrusts with it's pike.
Pike1: 11 (Adv:12) Dmg: 9
Pike2: 19 (Adv:20) Dmg: 3

Briggs fires his Hand Crossbow from above. Height Advantage: +40 ft to range.
Attack1:9 Dmg:3
Attack2:23 Dmg:3

The first shot misses Runt entirely but the second bolt sticks into Runt's shoulder. Runt can't worry about it though as the metal tip of the pike sinks into her side. She turns around trying to defend against the second pike attack and ends up with a gash on her arm. Briggs rains crossbow bolts on to the Ratmen. One of the shots is dodged by Rat1 but the second shot hits it in the chest.

Elsara's turn.

(I think Elsara can get within melee to help out there now, right?)

Elsara will ready Riley's Spirit and activate her Bladesong, beginning to almost dance through the area ahead. (+10' movement, advantage on Acrobatics, +3 AC, +3 to Concentration checks). Her blade is then used to slice at the ratman, attempting to alleviate some of the aggro from Runt.

Booming Blade vs. Ratman 6: 9 vs. AC. Hit: 4 slashing damage.

Ratman3 sees Elsara move away and quickly attempts to bite her.
Bite: 5 Dmg:4 Elsara's CON: 22

The teeth sink into Elsara's arm and causes lime colored saliva to mix with the open wound. Elsara immediately feels nauseous. Elsara is Poisoned until someone uses an action to make a DC11 medicine check to remove the poisoned condition.  

Elsara raises a shield and blocks the Ratman3's teeth.

Elsara raises her scimitar and slashes the Ratman6's shield. (Miss)

(To be honest, I didn't even know there was a rat next to Elsara, otherwise I would've had her attack that one. Ah well, guess use her reaction to cast Shield, making the attack miss.)

Ratman3 decides to try and attack Runt since its original target moved away. It tries to stab Runt with its war pick and then bite the half-orc girl.
War Pick: 8 Dmg:3
Bite: 23 Dmg:5

Advantage Rolls: Pick:14 Bite:15 CON save: 14

Ratman3 sticks runt in the chest with its war pick and then pulls the barbarian closer and delivers a bite on the girls shoulder. Runt's orcish blood has a better time resisting the debilitating effects of the rat's germs.

Runt and Val's Turn.

@Poke

(I thought I made it pretty clear since a rat launched an attack on Elsara on the last round. Also, I thought you decided to risk the AoO since you have 19 AC now. My bad, I'll ask for confirmation every time AoO is triggered in the future.)

(It's fine. I apparently missed that one post on the prior page.)

Okay. To avoid this let's see if I can draw a short ASCII map.

= - - - = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = # = =              
    1         23      G                           =

Spacing is 10ft.
