Upon seeing the horde of rat flow from the pipe and barrel Gillain does a swift strike with her spear but, the shaft of the weapon strikes the door frame, causing her to miss.
Dmitri at the rear of the party can barely make out the cause of the disturbance past his peers. He pushes his way past Bob and Ermren to engage the rats directly. He slashes at the closest rat with his longsword.
Bob was a creature that lived underground yet the squeaking mass of furry bodies and biting mouths sends him sprawling back as far as he can away from the coming tide of rats (move action to run as far away from the rats as the room will allow, so long as Bob stays within 30 feet).
He casts Produce Flame and the moment the flame leaps into his hand he hurls it at the swarm.
Dmitrileaps forward and swings at the mass of rodents. His sword cleaves through the mass and several rats did, rat gore and blood is flung across the room, hitting the wall.
Toi stomps on the mass of rodents. The nimble rats part and the 1st stomp misses, the sound of metal striking wood echos through the room. Toi stomps again and is able to kill some of the rats.
The rats swarm Dmitri after his attack and start biting and scratching at him. Hit: 8 Damage: 6
Dmitri takes 3 damage.
Gillain strikes with her spear but, due to the others being in the way she can only thrust. Gillain strikes and hits twice, killing the remaining rats.
The floor is covered in blood, gore, and the bodies of many rats. The party seems to sigh collectively when the pipe in the room starts shaking and rattling. There is the sound of wood splintering and part of the ceiling bursts open. Rats start falling from the ceiling by the hundreds. None of you have ever seen this many rats anywhere. The rest of the party acts against the massive hoard of rats.
Bob casts Produce Flame launching a small orb of fire into the mass. The smell of burning flesh fills the room and some of the rats squeak in pain.
Ermren uses the tip of his staff to thrust into the mass killing a couple of rats as he does.
James casts Sacred Flame and more rats are set on fire, squeaking and burning as they go.
After the attacks, there are still survivors among the rat hoard and they seem angry.
Part of the surviving hoards directs their attention to Gillain and try to overwhelm her by climbing all over her. Hit: 5 Damage: 6
The second part of this new hoard attacks Toi. Attack: 7 Damage: 5
Dmitri takes the inconsequential bites and scratches in stride. <4/10 hp's remaining>
Dmitri renews his assault on the horde of vermin, as their numbers continue to swell with the rats cascading from the attic. He spins about to dislodge those who clambored about his person and strikes at them with his longsword once more.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gillain finds the rats revolting, and can hardly bear having them near her. Her armor does a decent job but still they manage to bite and scratch her!
”Argh! Get them off us!” she says through gritted teeth, now positioned entirely amongst them. She stabs and jabs her spear as best she can, desperate to get rid of the vile rodents...

Bob curses in Dwarvish as the pesky critters scamper about him. He was unperturbed by their filthy fur, skittering four-legged gait or their worm-like tails, but he wasn't about to let them sink those vicious little fangs into him. He hurls another ball of fire at the a knot of remaining rats, hopefully before they inflict any more wounds - superficial or not - on his friends.
Dmitri swings his sword through the mass again and cuts a path in the midst of the new mass. Rat bodies and gore again fly across the room and onto party members as well.
Toiagain stomps on a few more rats, squashing bodies under her mechanical foot.
The rats, few in number left. start to scatter after many of their number die.
Gillain slashes at a few rats that were on her and they leap off and try to flee. The slash from her spear slices through a couple more of the rats. Gillain finds she cannot use the shaft on the rats, mainly because of her position in relation to the walls of the small hall, which is less than 5 ft. away, and the rest of her party in the path of the spear arc, and the rats crawling on her.
Bob flings another small ball of fire at the fleeing rats, hitting one and killing it.
Ermren's staff burst into Green Flame and he swings it at the remaining rats, only a couple but, misses.
Arcane words come from Jamesand flames erupt from his outstretched hands burning the remaining rats.
Combat is over. (Actions/Reactions and next moves please)
After the rats disperse Tio will help Gillain with the remaining rats on her and her armor. “Hold still...if you keep squirming I can’t take them off.” Tio will grab the rats throwing them across the room.

Even Bob struggled with the utter filthiness of the rat swarm's aftermath. He sighs and starts to flick the most offending pieces of viscera off of him when he realizes he had rat guts in his beard.
"ALRIGH'! That bloody tears it!" He spends several moments desperately ridding his beard of filth and angrily points at the nearest door. "We're gonna march through this blasted monument to man's folly and arrogance and get to the bottom of all this... this..." He flaps his arms as he searches for the right word. "...spooky shenanigans!"
