Nature, see if they’re looking to attack or just following: 19
The rats are massing in the open, which isn't normal under usual circumstances. Many of them appear to be very curious about you guys, but they don't seem to be massing to attack, so far as you are aware.


[color=00aeef]“Hm, wonderful.”[/color] Victoria confirmed his worst fears and BlackBerry near chewed upon his feigned happiness, dripping with sarcasm. [color=00aeef]“Always a pleasure to have happy guests dropping in unannounced.”[/color]

He let Kosara to do her work to apply the spell; twisting around slightly to avoid being in the way of her movements. This time, he learned not to look at the object as the light burst from it. Staring down at it he couldn’t help but think to himself, with a small smile.

[i][color=00aeef]I have a magic weapon. How delightful. The others will be so pleased to hear of this back home.[/color][/i]

BlackBerry knew the effect was temporary but while it lasted it did make him a little be happy nonetheless. He just didn’t realise how temporary it would be as he watched, feeling somewhat disappointed, Kosara quickly move the magical light over to Maritas shield. The light disappearing from his shortsword as it bloomed from the shield. It made more sense though as Marita could still wield the shield for light and defence in a fight, which would be a darn-sight more useful that he could have done with the sword against their foes.

Wanting to stay useful he turned back again towards the fog behind the group to where Lady Kathryns thrown torch had landed, loudly, a few moments ago. His stomach dropped in time with his jaw. That was a lot of rats. In the spluttering torch light there was no where for them to hide. No Mercy from the sight of their writhing, scurrying, bodies crashing over each other.

A strained whisper escaped. [color=00aeef]“Oh no.”[/color] He dropped into his usual fighting stance and grabbed his shortsword ready to fight.

But when nothing more came from the rats, aside from the panicked squeaks or argumentative squeals to each other, they hopped in and out of the circle of light from the torch he came to realise something.

[color=00aeef]“I…I would wager they’re not here to attack us. At least, not yet anyway.”[/color] BlackBerry locked eyes with one, that squealed and then ran back into the darkness. Repressing a shiver he continued. [color=00aeef]“Rather more likely keeping an eye on us, for now. Reporting back to their masters, no doubt.”[/color]
