Boko holds up a fist and pauses. She says, “Qivys, this way, perturbed.”And she walks toward where she hears the sound. (It’s been a long day.) For a few steps. And then she runs. (It’s been a loooooong day.)

Thwack
Picking up on Gerrard's concern for Qivys, Thwack begins to talk to their absent friend as if he was standing next to him. "Where you Quivers? Messy room here. Maybe you too heavy to climb to roof?"
While he waits for a reply he scuttles down the stairs to the lower floor.

No stranger to telepathic communication, Qivys responds: "Came through tha front door an' fightin' a bunch of rats." he replies.
Qivys, seeing he is being swarmed, calms his breathing. A slight light radiates from him as he grasps his Holy Symbol and speaks a phrase in an ancient tongue, casting Word of Radiance on both his actions attacking as many of the rats as he can see.
"Rats? I come help. I hungry. Where is?" Thwack replies to Qivys, his mouth beginning to salivate at the thought of of fresh meat. He turns to the others and relays Qivys' predicament. "He got rats! You want eat some too?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A burning radiance erupts from Qivys, enveloping all the rats climbing upon him and approaching him. The two already-thinned swarms are eliminated; the others are badly weakened.
The others descend the staircase and gather around the southern interior door to this Gallery-turned-Scullery-turned-Crime-Scene (your full turn – Dash), only to find it hastily barricaded with a barrel of water and a wooden wedge. It'll take another round for two of you to clear it and open the door. (i.e. it'll cost the party two actions - one to move the barrel, the other to remove the wedge.)
Reaching the door, Gerrard wastes no time in grabbing the barrel and rolling it aside. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he wonders why the barricades are still set up since the occupants of the protected rooms already seem to have been slaughtered, but he has no time to ponder that mystery at the moment.

Thwack
Impatiently waiting for his bigger companions to remove the barricade Thwack shifts from side to side, occasionally turning a circle like a dog waiting for a treat.
As soon as the door is open he rushes inside. If he spies a rat within 60ft he will point at it and 'shoot' it with his finger pistol.
Initiative 16
(His finger pistol is him throwing a Psychic Blade. I'll wait to resolve the damage until DM rules what's happening)
A burning radiance erupts once again from Qivys, and the rats fall in heaps all around him. Only four swarms remain of the initial twelve, one badly thinned out by his divine magic. Peri and Thwack may act.
"What in the... What're you doin'?!"He runs through the scattered rat corpse ring to get to Qivys and tries to rid him of his infestation. He stomps the rats scurrying on the floor, smacks the ones trying to climb Qivys's back, and flings some against the walls.

"Oh I thought I'd come inside ta take in the ambiance an' enjoy the local wildlife." Qivys remarks to Peri. Qivys will go with another round of Word of Radiance

Gerrard:
As soon as Gerrard hears of Qivys’ predicament, the young noble races back down the steps and towards the interior door to the front room.

Thwack
"Rats? I come help. I hungry. Where is?" Thwack replies to Qivys, his mouth beginning to salivate at the thought of of fresh meat. He turns to the others and relays Qivys' predicament. "He got rats! You want eat some too?"
He will head in the direction Qivys indicates.
A burning radiance erupts from Qivys, enveloping all the rats climbing upon him and approaching him. The two already-thinned swarms are eliminated; the others are badly weakened.
Swarm #3 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 9 Hit:1 piercing damage
Swarm #4 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 20 Hit:6 piercing damage
Swarm #5 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 16 Hit:5 piercing damage
Swarm #6 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 11 Hit:6 piercing damage
Swarm #7 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 17 Hit:2 piercing damage
Swarm #8 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 7 Hit:1 piercing damage
Swarm #9 (much-weakened): Bite Attack: 7 Hit:6 piercing damage
And more rats! Swarms #10, #11, #12: approach from another cell.

Boko also arrives and helps remove the wedge. "Qivys?"
If Qivys hears Boko he will respond.
"In here fightin' a bunch of hungry rats." he calls out.
Again Qivys will call upon the light to grant him power and cast Word of Radiance with both his actions.

Thwack
Impatiently waiting for his bigger companions to remove the barricade Thwack shifts from side to side, occasionally turning a circle like a dog waiting for a treat.
As soon as the door is open he rushes inside. If he spies a rat within 60ft he will point at it and 'shoot' it with his finger pistol.
Initiative 16
(His finger pistol is him throwing a Psychic Blade. I'll wait to resolve the damage until DM rules what's happening)
(Forgot the CON Saves last time! But for this round: 14, 14, 4, 13, 16, 15, 7, 7, 19, 17.)
Gerrard and Boko manage to get the door open. Through it, they can see Qivys completely covered in biting rats.
Peri and Thwack may act.
(And the second set of saves: 9, 10, 8, 1, 4, 15, 19, 16, 17, 12.)
A burning radiance erupts once again from Qivys, and the rats fall in heaps all around him. Only four swarms remain of the initial twelve, one badly thinned out by his divine magic.
Peri and Thwack may act.
Peri:
"What in the... What're you doin'?!" He runs through the scattered rat corpse ring to get to Qivys and tries to rid him of his infestation. He stomps the rats scurrying on the floor, smacks the ones trying to climb Qivys's back, and flings some against the walls.

Thwack
Peri runs past the kobold as Thwack unleashes not only one finger pistol, but both.
Finger Pistol Attack: 13 Damage: 9
Finger Pistol BA Attack: 18 Damage: 8
Sneak Attack dmg to first hit 12
Thwack's odd finger pistols seem to actually do a little better than Peri's feet. The rats are easy to hit, but there are just so many of them...
Nevertheless, the vermin are down to two swarms, one of which is down to just a few rodents.
Bite Attack vs. Peri: 12. Hit: 6 piercing damage.
Bite Attack vs. Qivys: 14. Hit: 3 piercing damage.
Everyone may act!
"Oh I thought I'd come inside ta take in the ambiance an' enjoy the local wildlife." Qivys remarks to Peri.
Qivys will go with another round of Word of Radiance
Word 1: 7
Word 2: 9
Boko moves to where she can get within 5 ft of rats and not people and casts thunderclap for 5 damage on a failed con 17 save
(DC14 CON Saves x2: 14, 14; 9, 4)
(And two more DC17 CON saves: 16, 10)
