Sputtering and coughing, Navek surges up onto his butt, and eventually to his feet knocking and shaking off a few of his weaker hanger-ons. "Off me you blasted, mangy curs!"He brings his battleaxe down on thinning swarm (1). Sucking in a deep breathe after, catching his Second Wind. Well, more like Fourth Wind at this point, but details details. "Don't suppose any of you got any oil on hand?" He asks.
Meat Clever: 21 Damage: 8.
Bonus Action: Second Wind for 5.
Future Reaction: Fighter ProtectionFeature to impose disadvantage on the 1st creature to target an ally within 5ft (which I assume include everyone but Lora?)

Lorarila peeking down the stairs from the top to see the horror of the swarms of rats covering everyone. It takes her a second to absorb the scene, deep in her mind she wondered why vermin was attracted to these people. Aiming at the swarm covering her friends and blasting firebolt.
swarm 1 and swarm 2 - Both swarms flooded over Navek, finding their way under his armor. The huge number of rats overwhelming the goliath and managing to bite into several vital arteries, sending him falling down onto the hard stone floor.
Mo - Mo ran over to the swarming pile of rats covering Navek and managed to cleave a handful of them in half with a quick and heavy blow (6 damage to swarm 1)
swarm 3 - Crashes into Mo, quickly crawling up his legs and burrowing into this skin and through his leather armor (crit for 15 damage) but he was able to shrug off some of the damage and stay standing
Thimbol - Thimbol, who was staying close behind Navek drops one of his daggers into the swarming sea of rats at his feet and is able to pull out a healing potion. Thimbol quickly opens the bottle and dumps it down Navek's throat
swarm 4 - Completley envelop Thimbol in a tornado of rats, but he is able to keep them from getting under his armor and biting his flesh
Sayre - Moves up next to Navek and takes two hard swings at the rats covering Navek (Swarm 1), The first swing catches a huge number of rats, sending pieces of rat carcass flying through the room, while after pulling her dagger out of the pile of rats, she has to quickly flick her wrist to remove the bodies from her dagger like meat from a kabob (11 damage to the swarm total).
Navek - Jumps up sending rats flying off of him in every direction. After spitting a rat out of his mouth, he will take a bit swing with his axe, cleaving more of the swindling swam (swarm 1)(4 damage)
Lorarila - manages to hang back from the group and out of the churning mass of rats. She points her finger and sends out a bolt of fire, hitting the remaining rats remaining in swarm 1. Igniting them and causing them to fall off Navek in smouldering clumps.
****Where people are***** So I don't have the time at the moment to modify the picture but I will tell you where I thought everyone was on the grid and you can act accordingly. Please note that the rats are actually sharing the space with the players... they have a reach of 0 for their attacks and they have the ability to move through other players squares... so if they are attacking you.. they are "standing" where you are
Navek & swarm 2 (rip swarm 1) were all located in square i9 since he was checking the door when the yell happened Mo and swarm 3 were located in square i8, since he ran downstairs and attacked the rats on Navek Thimbol and swarm 4 are located J9 because he said he was right behind Navek and close enough to give him a potion without moving. Sayre I would say took a step forward and moved to J8 so that she could attack the rats on Navek (I assumed when you were all in the basement that she was behind Thimbol and Navek) Lorarila is back on the staircase at J7 **************************** Round 2 ****************************

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Swarm 2, still hanging on to Navek will continue to bite and scratch at him. Finding the flesh under his armor very easy to access, they dig in and continue to dine on this walking meat buffet. Attack: 16 Damage: 5
Swarm 3 will regroup after a number of its rats are cleaved apart and impaled on Mo's blade. The rats will continue to take advantage of the thinner armor and continue to bite through his skin and attempt to scratch their way into his body. Attack: 21 Damage: 11

With Navek back up, Thimbol would reach for the dagger through the swarm of rats at his feet. As he straightened back up, dead rats would drop around him as he notices Mo cleaving through federal, thinning them out.

***Swarm 3 is at half health, so it will be dealing 1d6 damage instead 2d6 when it attacks***
Swarm 4, still swarming on Thimbol will leap over to Sayre after they were unable to successfully find any easy to access flesh.As they land on Sayre she does a great job of brushing them off and is able to prevent then from landing any lows on her
Attack: 3 Damage: 5
****I don't think any AOO would happen as it moves from Thimbol to Sayre because it has not moved out of anyone's attack zone but If I am wrong feel free to swing away****
"Shite! Damnit Mo! Get off'em!" Navek scrambles to brush enough rats away to feed Mo one his own potions, healing him for 8 Hp. "Come on, Big Fella. Up at 'nd at'em."He says as he readied his shield again to brush and ward off more rats from his companions.

If you use the combat tab, it will calculate the damage for you, even on a crit. it makes it easier in ya

Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
(After Lorarila, can we get a recap of where everyone actually is? I feel like we're all directly on top of each other.)

Navek & swarm 2 (rip swarm 1) were all located in square i9 since he was checking the door when the yell happened
Mo and swarm 3 were located in square i8, since he ran downstairs and attacked the rats on Navek
Thimbol and swarm 4 are located J9 because he said he was right behind Navek and close enough to give him a potion without moving.
Sayre I would say took a step forward and moved to J8 so that she could attack the rats on Navek (I assumed when you were all in the basement that she was behind Thimbol and Navek)
Lorarila is back on the staircase at J7

With Navek back up, Thimbol would reach for the dagger through the swarm of rats at his feet. As he straightened back up, dead rats would drop around him as he notices Mo cleaving through federal, thinning them out.
Wanting to finish that swarm off he'd take a swing with one of his daggers at swarm 3
Attack swarm 3: Attack: 17 Damage: 5
Sneak attack: 3
(Two weapon) (on phone)
Noticing a few left, he'd take another swing.
Attack: 12 Damage: 4
**So I'm down. I have 2 health potion on me though.
***Swarm 3 is at half health, so it will be dealing 1d6 damage instead 2d6 when it attacks***
Swarm 4, still swarming on Thimbol will leap over to Sayre after they were unable to successfully find any easy to access flesh.As they land on Sayre she does a great job of brushing them off and is able to prevent then from landing any lows on her
Attack: 3 Damage: 5
****I don't think any AOO would happen as it moves from Thimbol to Sayre because it has not moved out of anyone's attack zone but If I am wrong feel free to swing away****
Sayre is up (Mo is Down if a 13 hits... I had to edit the other post because I forgot disadvantage), then Navek and Lorarila
Sayre is thinking hard about the life choices they made leading up to this basement....
Sayre attacks the swarm 4 again handaxe 7; dagger dmg 5; 14; dmg 3
Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
Swarm 4 takes 2 damage as Sayre is able to stab through a few of the rats with her dagger after failing to connect with her axe.
Navek is up, Mo is down. Swarm 3 is at half health and swarm 4 is lightly injured... Swarm 2 is looking just fine... kind of hungry still... but fine.
"Shite! Damnit Mo! Get off'em!" Navek scrambles to brush enough rats away to feed Mo one his own potions, healing him for 8 Hp. "Come on, Big Fella. Up at 'nd at'em." He says as he readied his shield again to brush and ward off more rats from his companions.
Future Reaction: Protection no Jutsu against the 1st attack against an ally.
