Flux quickly goes to grab as many kitchen knives as he can fit in his coat. Fully knowing Glowkindle saw that, Flux says "There's no problem with me using these, is there? It'll make this go quicker, and maybe you can make some giant rat stew afterwards." (OOC: how many knives would Flux be able to grab? And for stat and fight purposes, would I consider them daggers?)
Flux, if no problems arise, coldly walks past Glowkindle and into the darkness.
Torrel enters the cellars, looking around. Glowkindle nods in the affirmative towards Brin as he enters the hatch. Flux is able to take the knives with no problem, though Glowkindle looks shocked. Flux tucks 5 knives into his coat. Use the knives as daggers, but roll an extra D20 every time they are used in combat, to see if they break.
As you descend the staircase, the wooden stairs creak, and you enter the cool, dry air of the cellar, infused with the smell of beer and damp fur. Somewhere in the darkness you hear the scrabbling sound of claws on floorboards and a faint squeaking noise. As you go down the steps, you see that much of the area is taken up my barrels and casks, and there is a clear dirt space ahead, littered with workmen's tools. Through the gloom you can all make out a hole in the wall opposite the stairs. Torrel, looking around, notices some shadowy shapes out of the corner of his eyes. Torrel looks closer, and sees a bunch of rats surrounding them. Initiative rolled.
Map for first round above, let me know if it doesn't work.
Initiative
Bryn: 22
Torrel: 21
Kathleen: 17
Rats: 16
Flux: 1
OOC: To make it so no one is only posting an initiative score, I will roll the initiatives through the characters sheets you submitted. Feel free to do any roll through the character sheet, but copy them over here so we know them. If you have access to roll20, feel free to move your token there. Otherwise, describe it and I will move it. Also feel free to take your turn out of initiative order, but do not post a new round before I resolve the previous. Things will take affect in initiative order.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bryn will take a shot at the first rat he sees to his left with is crossbow, Attack: 14 Damage: 10 then move 10 feet, two squares straight ahead, dropping his crossbow and drawing his short swords, anyone got a light?
Since they are not in an open field where she needs massive range, Kathleen will use her crossbow and move into the room (1 square: northwest. West of Flux's starting position) to make sure that the party has a easy way out should they want to back up. She will then release her arrow, aiming for the closest rat to her (closest rat on the east side. The one on top of the barrel)

Bryn now considering the reality of the situation swings at rat #3, Attack: 10 Damage: 8 with his main hand short sword and a backhanded slash at rat #4 with his offhand short sword, Attack: 12 Damage: 2aye ye bast@*@ rats! Take that!
"Oh no! Flux, Bryn Are you okay?" She says, concerned. She wants to help Bryn out by helping to clear out the rats but can't because there is a rat right in front of her messing up her aim. Quickly holding her heavy crossbow in one-hand, she draws her rapier and lunges at the Rat's head.
Rapier vs Rat7: 19 Dmg: 7 Pierce
(FYI: I am making the rolls in the character sheet because forum dice roller is kinda buggy)
Flux fails to hit rat #6 with his dagger, but his thrown knife works better. As the knife flies past rat #5 it hits an artery, leaving the rat heavily injured. The knife sinks into the barrel behind the rat and bends concerningly far, before it pops back to normal.
Bryn swipes at rat #3, but the rat jumps back and he misses. He then uses his other sword to slash at rat #4, and hits the rat's side, hurting it.
Torrel misses the rat, his quarterstaff sweeping past it without hitting anything.
Kathleen lunges at Rat #7 and hits it straight in the head, killing it.
Rats
Rat #1 - Dead
Rat #2 - Lunges at and bites Torrel, dealing 6 damage.
Rat #3 - Tries to bite Bryn, but misses when Bryn turns to attack another rat.
Rat #4 - Lunges at Bryn and bites him as Bryn slashes at him, dealing 3 damage to Bryn
Rat #5 - Falls head over tail in an attempt to jump onto Bryn.
Rat #6 - Tries to jump up to hit Flux, but Flux has the high ground and the rat couldn't reach.
Rat #7 - Dead
Rat #8 - Jumps up to bite, above Bryn's head.
OOC: You are doing fine. I would recommend always including damage rolls if trying to hit someone, but in this case it was fine. Also, feel free to describe how your character attacks.

Torrel ( Bonus action ) starts to speak but it's more like a chant ( think Tibetan monk ) " Oh we here seek thee.. Oh fight be deep in blood...." ( Bardic Inspiration ) 6
Bryn cuts loose with a string of dwarven curses as he swings with his main hand short sword at rat #3, 19 to hit and 9 damage. With his off-hand sword he makes a cutting draw on rat #4 as he brings it back into a defense position, 13 to hit and 6 damage. Could use a healing touch if anyone's got one handy, these rat bast@#$ have some sharp teeth.

Torrel suffering from the bite feels he needs to stop all of this and casts Thunderwave 7 doing 10 for everything within 10 ft . those who make there saves take half damage. the noise is very loud .
OOC just to make sure I understand correctly, Torrel cast Thunderwave with a required con save DC 12, that effects a 15 ft cube centered on him and on failed save deals 15 damage and pushes 10 ft away from him, on a save deals 7 damage and no push? I think that 15 ft cube gets a couple of rats and Flux?))

As far as I can tell, that's going to hit everyone. A 5 ft cube would get 2 rats and Flux.

ROUND 1
Map for first round above, let me know if it doesn't work.
Initiative
Bryn: 22
Torrel: 21
Kathleen: 17
Rats: 16
Flux: 1
OOC: To make it so no one is only posting an initiative score, I will roll the initiatives through the characters sheets you submitted.

Bryn will take a shot at the first rat he sees to his left with is crossbow, Attack: 14 Damage: 10 then move 10 feet, two squares straight ahead, dropping his crossbow and drawing his short swords, anyone got a light?
Torrel will delay his turn until they are in range.
Since they are not in an open field where she needs massive range, Kathleen will use her crossbow and move into the room (1 square: northwest. West of Flux's starting position) to make sure that the party has a easy way out should they want to back up. She will then release her arrow, aiming for the closest rat to her (closest rat on the east side. The one on top of the barrel)
Heavy Crossbow: 21 Dmg: 11 Piercing
So the rats are next?
-Archie
Bryn's crossbow bolt flies towards the left, hitting the top of the barrel, but unfortunately not the rat. He moves forward, and draws his swords.
Torrel waits where he is, ready for the rats to attack. (Torrel is currently right by a rat, if that is what you mean by in range.)
Kathleen moves into the room and to the left, passing Flux. As she moves she shoots a bolt towards the right, hitting the rat and killing it.
Rats
Rat #1 - Dead
Rat #2 - Moves right in front of Torrel and attempt to bite him but his teeth close on air.
Rat #3 - Moves to the right of Bryn and bites him for 5 points of damage.
Rat #4 - Moves in front of Bryn and fails to bite down on anything.
Rat #5 - Moves to the left of Bryn and almost bites him but Bryn dodges out of the way.
Rat #6 - Moves in front of Flux and bites his leg for 4 points of damage.
Rat #7 - Moves to the left of Kathleen and fails to bite her.
Rat #8 - Moves to the diagonal to Bryn to the front-right and attempts to bite him, but fails.
Current Position: Screenshot 2024-09-20 124931.png
Flux's Turn
OOC: I have now added numbers to all the rats. In the future please use the number under each rat to reference them.
Flux will lunge past Rat #6, stabbing it with one of his own daggers. Attack: 7 Damage: 4
Flux will then take one of the Kitchen Knives, and will throw it at Rat #5. Attack: 11 Damage: 6 Breakage: 20
and now it's Bryn's turn again?
-Archie
omg i don't think it's possible to get worse rolls XD
nvm. I just realized i rolled the attack for the Kitchen Knive wrong. I had to remove the +4 modifier (because of Two-Weapon Fighting), and re-rolled.
-Archie
Bryn now considering the reality of the situation swings at rat #3, Attack: 10 Damage: 8 with his main hand short sword and a backhanded slash at rat #4 with his offhand short sword, Attack: 12 Damage: 2 aye ye bast@*@ rats! Take that!

when My turn allows Torrel will attack Rat #2 with his Quarterstaff. 6
( please correct me if I'm doing this wrong )
