Sure enough, the rats fled and there was only the two adventurers and the burned and cut corpses of rats that littered the alleyway. Pele answered Reynault, "You're welcome. Honestly, now I see why you wanted to fight them. Get some practice in so you can be ready to help with the Griffin problem, huh?" 

She then looked over him and she commented "Well, it looks like they didn't get a scratch on you, so that's a relief. We can continue on if you're up for it?"

She looked towards the exit, and then looked down towards the human body that the rats had been feasting on. It is a gruesome sight of flesh without skin and the smell of rotting and burnt flesh could be detected from this body. Pele commented "Maybe I overdid it with the flames..."
