Lathalas recalls what his human rival, Brucius of the Bat, once sarcastically told him while breaking him out of gaol in Mulhorand: "Remember -- rats carry diseases. Don't eat any." It wasn't funny back then so he showed the Bat what a fast kick was and something exploded in Brucius' midsection.

OOC - Normally, you have to use your movement before your turn ends -- you can move, cast a spell, move back again, etc. I'll allow Alianna a one square move to B1, though, for two reasons ...
1. You're still learning the ropes, unlike the grognards you're stuck playing with.
2. Character-wise, the two wizards would not position themselves next to that rune. Basic knowledge of Arcana tells them that rune is going to explode again ...
Which of course it does ... dealing 7 fire damage to Mithrokk and the rats swarming him. Mithrokk and the rats can make a Dexterity save for half damage.
OOC - Mithrokk and Farnakees have killed some of the rats attacking them, but the swarm appears resistant to physical attacks. In contrast, they seem really vulnerable to the explosion from that rune. The swarm that ran the gauntlet of fighter attacks earlier looks really decimated.
OOC - The second round ends. You can use the map Pao posted as reference, but Alianna is at B1.

OOC: Oh, Farnakees might love some barbecued rat! So, if I set a rat on fire, hoping the rest of the swarm catches fire, that also affects the ally occupying the same square? I wouldn't want to barbecue anyone by mistake.
OOC: I wouldn't want to barbecue anyone by mistake.
OOC: Mistakes have been known to happen.
OOC: It's the DM's call to decide if the swarm catches fire and if an ally occupying the same square is affected as well.
OOC: Alternatively, you might say something like: Alianna calls out to Farnakees to jump away from the swarm and when he does so, she casts Burning Hands on it.
Farnakees wonders about the quality of the latrines here. Rat grease has such an effect on him.... his stomach growls... He smiles at Alianna Garande... Galandel. "Thank You, Next..."

OOC - Rat swarm attacking Mithrokk rolls a save - 12. They take 1 point of damage.
OOC - Mithrokk makes his save, but he still takes 3 fire damage. That's 5 total already. You might have to mix barbecued rat in with barbecued Mithrokk.

The rats roll 4 and take 14 fire damage.

OOC - Lathelas is up at the plate again.
Dex Save for half damage: 11
Lathalas attacks the first swarm.
Shortsword: Attack: 10 Damage: 9
Bonus unarmed strike: Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Lathalas then slide steps to C4.
Like a wild-eyed exterminator, Lathalas stabs and stomps the rat swarm to oblivion.
OOC: Rastaris is up, followed by Alianna.
Rastaris again casts Mind Sliver on the swarm attacking Mithrokk.
The swarm has to save against Int DC 13 or suffer 1.
He remains in A1.
OOC: Thanks for the map, Paolo!
OOC: DM, thanks for allowing the move. Are rats considered flammable?
OOC: Rats can and should be barbecued. (Just not with other members of the party unless there are grudges to be settled.)

OOC: Thanks again, Paolo!
Alianna shouts, "Move away, Mithrokk." She raises her left hand. She traces a figure in the air, murmurs, “Naur pilin’,” and readies her firebolt.
🤣

OOC - Alianna's, it's now your turn.
OOC: Above is damage from rune, right?
OOC: I think the damage is from my Mind Sliver - referring to the rats.
And remember - when that swarm (on Mithrok) makes any saving throw before the end of my (Rastaris) next turn, it will be at less 1d4.
Mike - do you want my to roll already the 1d4 moving forward?
OOC - Nah, just wait till someone casts a spell.
OOC: Damage of 3 to Mithrokk is from the rune. That's 5 in total from 2 blasts.
Alianna shouts, "Move away, Mithrokk." She raises her left hand. She traces a figure in the air, murmurs, “Naur pilin’,” and readies a fire bolt.
OOC: Allianna will ready an action to cast Fire Bolt at the swarm attacking Mithrokk once Mithrokk moves out of the the space the swarm is occupying.
