As you proceed down the narrow passage, you are attacked from two directions! A swarm of normal rats comes charging down the hallway by Chadwick. They pour through the bars blocking the passage and swarm over Chadwick.
From behind, Trolkarl, Gneuman and Erbert are surprised by the attack of a rat-man armed with a dagger. Stealth check = 26 (nat 20) vs Passive Perceptions. It attacks Trolkarl finding success with its dagger and a vicious bite from its filthy mouth. Dagger To Hit = 20, damage = 3. Bite To Hit = 14, damage = 4. Trolkarl is grievously wounded. "DIE!," it shrieks. As you spin to face this threat you notice something familiar about the rat-man. It is wearing Scampus' clothes. Weird.
Erbert spins around and sees the rat - man, striking Trolkarl. He recognizes the dress and says “Scampus. Should’ve known we couldn’t trust you, you rat bastard.” He recalls what worked against the goblins and the rats, he reaches deep and says in a strong voice, ambienne! and focuses on a point 20 feet behind the wererat, hoping to put him to sleep. Unfortunately in his surprise, he doesn’t cast the spell in his best form, distracted in his anger. 9 hit points of sleep goes his way.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
I assume that the only viable attack for Hoid will be the swarm (too much restriction to move toward the rat-man-betrayer). Posting an action for Hoid to be applied after Gneuman, assuming his kung-fu does not end combat.
Hoid attacks the swarm. Hit: 23 (18+5), damage 9 (6+3).
Hoid yells, “Move into the intersection, try to surround the rat bastard and give room for the paladin and his newly acquired friends to dance!”
Not sure what Gneuman is doing however here are my actions on my turn:
I communicate to Gneuman and Erbert, "Be aware, i am going to attempt to disorent Sampus". I mutter under my breath (Thunder), casting Thaumaturgy (originating at Scampus head). Loud Thunder Claps are generated , lasting a minute in duration, or until i cease the event.
Gneuman squeezes by Erbert on his way to shove Scampus to the ground. Athletics = 18 vs Acrobatics = 20, 6 (disadvantaged). Scampus loses his balance and falls to the ground, [status]Prone[/status].
Hoid presses the attack against the rat swarm attacking Chadwick with success.
Scampus snarls at Gneuman, "You will all die today!" He strikes out at Gneuman with his dagger. To Hit = 18, 14 (disadvantaged) hits. Damage = 3.
Kragen fills the air with a thunderous cacophony around Scampus.
The rats continue biting Chadwick. To Hit = 22 (Nat 20, of course). They find All of the tender places for 8 damage. Chadwick collapses, again. On his initiative, he succeeds his first stabilization check. Stabilization check = 12.
Erbert's yearnings have come to fruition. He catches Scampus square in the chest with his Fire Bolt. Scampus screams in pain and the air is filled with the foul odor of burned rat hair and flesh.
Gneuman follows through with a solid strike from his staff. Scampus seems unaffected by the blow, however.
Hoid is now up. The rat swarm has moved into his square to attack....

Chadwick is up....
Trolkarl

Chadwick up first, then Trolkarl....
Chadwick
Chadwick will do his best Fred Astaire on these critters heads.

Chadwick strikes out at the rats swarming over him. Killing several. They continue to attack.
Trolkarl moves, casting [Condemn[/spell]. He attacks the wererat with his sword, missing.
Erbert is up
((Oh crap….))
Erbert spins around and sees the rat - man, striking Trolkarl. He recognizes the dress and says “Scampus. Should’ve known we couldn’t trust you, you rat bastard.” He recalls what worked against the goblins and the rats, he reaches deep and says in a strong voice, ambienne! and focuses on a point 20 feet behind the wererat, hoping to put him to sleep.

Erbert reacts and casts Sleep on the rat-man/Scampus. No noticeable effect occurs.
Gneuman, then Hoid.

The rat swarm moves on to attack Hoid.
Trolkarl is up
Bonus action: Angelic Blade Boon
Action: Attacking Scampus (with advantage if he is still prone) : 10, 21
Damage: 6 + 2 from the ABB = 8
Forgot the radiant damage from hex/ condem +5
Trolkarl’s sword slashes at Scampus. He shrieks with surprise and pain, “How can your weapon hurt me?! I can tell it is not silver.”
Erbert is up.
On your knees, Scampus! Darkbane is merciful. Submit and find redemption.
I'm not sure if I'm within striking distance, but if I am:
1) Staff strike 11+5 = 16
2) unarmed strike 6+5 = 11
If not, I try to close distance.
Erbert, then Gneuman’s attack.
((Sorry for the delay..))
Erbert yearns to smell burned rat flesh, he turns to the rat man / Scampus and launches a fire bolt at him.
Fire bolt : 18 to hit, for 9 points of fire damage -
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Erbert's yearnings have come to fruition. He catches Scampus square in the chest with his Fire Bolt. Scampus screams in pain and the air is filled with the foul odor of burned rat hair and flesh.
Gneuman follows through with a solid strike from his staff. Scampus seems unaffected by the blow, however.
Hoid is now up. The rat swarm has moved into his square to attack....
Hoid attacks the rat swarm. To hit 21 (16+5), damage 7 4+3).
Hoid continues killing rats in the swarm.
Scampus turns to run, screaming in pain and anguish. “Go away! Go away!,” he cries out.
The rat swarm changes somehow. There is a rippled wave that runs through the swarm. The rats now seem to be scattering rather than an organized mass.
Trolkarl and Gneuman have Opportunity Attacks….
When did Scampus move from prone to upright?
