With another of the monstrous rats slain and no more to come, at least not in the blood tinged air of the midday at this moment, it seemed overtly apparent that they were one more victorious. Liberating the farm from the clutches of the wilder things was no chore and these creatures made that leagues apparent. They had wounded the paladin and the monk alike, thankfully no long lasting wounds, but they were still filth ridden creatures and their bites were a threat in that sense all its own. Without a healer as the priest of the temple who they set out for in this task, one could only imagine the destruction even this minor threat could be had the commoners and whatever they scrounged up for weaponry come this way. It would be their bodies littering the pained earth and lying in the disowned field, surely.

The goliath quite likely felt a surge of pride at felling the last rat before anyone could so touch it, the beast killed in expeditious order by the time she had even spoken again. The elf, however, was not quite so impressed as they were still rats after all and worse things wandered these woods. She shuddered at the thought of wolves and what blinding terror that would be, let alone anything from a bear to more arcane creatures. At least their lives were not nearly at stake or that of those more noble creatures and so when she finished plucking her arrows from the ground, she spoke up again.

"If there's this many rats out here and in their burrows, there's bound to be as many and more inside this house, probably tunnels even." She brushed the hair aside from her face and gave a warning glare to the two injured men, then most of all to the last man who was arguably at fault - as far as she saw it - for this particular escapade. Although truthfully, it likely could not have ended all that much better in outcome for them should de Brey not have startled the savage rodents and upset their defense with his reckless behavior.
