There is a door, though in the dim light is was difficult to distinguish it from the walls. It swings open smoothly as you push on it. From here Asterion and Uhlskah see the source of the yells, louder now. A scraggly looking wererat in lavish green robes is being accosted by a woman. Half her head is shaved and replaced with runic tattoos. She has a knife to him and he is bearing his yellow teeth.
Kirrian groans "It came out of nowhere. Grindylow.....?"

The woman lowers her blade to turn to Asterion. The wererat takes the opportunity, lunging at her throat. He clamps down and draws blood. (Neither have moved against you)
Asterion on is too on edge to recall his studies and identify the runes.
Uhlskah, with your streetwise you can tell this 'guy' is rich but is no noble or of a well known family or business. He probably deals in less legal services, which can be quite lucrative. You don't have any historical knowledge of wererats in green robes.

The bite feels like it has already festered; hot with blood-flow and itchy.
(Asterion is taking 2 ongoing damage which you will take at the beginning of your turn, and at the end of your turn roll a D20 to save. 10 or higher is a success and you will not continue taking the damage on your turn)
Uhlskah may now act.

As soon as the wererat reveals its hostile intentions, something in Uhlskah hardens. His drow eyes narrow, and flames of shadow spring up around the lycanthrope. Simultaneously Uhlskah calls out Asterion's name, the bard intending to use his bitter sweet voice to give the word power and majesty. But the bright name catches in the elf's dark throat...

Ravastine squints to where the others went, and then down at Kirian. She is loathe to leave him, defenseless. Nonetheless, her mentor taught her to never break a plan that others may be relying on. She waits for the others to call for her.

Ready action: if summoned by Asterion or Uhlskah, she will charge in and a attack something that seems menacing.

The wererat is obviously hostile. And the woman? Does she carry evil intent or is she a victim needing aid? In his line of work Asterion often wishes he could sense evil auras. He calls out, "Ravastine!", a call for aid, not a command. Then in a fluid motionhe thrusts his Starshadow Blade into the wererat.

Asterion takes 2 ongoing damage.
DC 10 Save vs ongoing damage failed (no modifiers?).

Poised to respond, Ravastine rushes in and tries to interpose her armored body between potential enemies and her friends.

If she has time she will strike an enemy.

The dark fire conjured in Uhlaskah eye's reaches for the rat's but he won't let it in. And hisses at the mighty battle cry. Asterion slashes but the rat quickly ducks, in his egotism he doesn't see the second strike. Asterion slips his blade into the rat's gut and it burns with searing white light. Ravastine charges in with her flail but the rat dodges just enough see it tear his robe instead. The rat turns it's attention to Ravastine and bites.

(Yes Ravastine you are able to go after Asterion like a saved action. In the next round you will go before him.)
(Darkfire, Shout of Triumph and inevitable strike failed. The wererat is marked. It took 13 damage.)

Uhlskah drops his crossbow, draws his scimitar, and attacks the wererat. The swish of the scimitar leaving its sheath merges imperceptibly with the crescendoing war cry of the bard, the resonance of which seems to make the blade tremble.

Ravastine continues to hammer at the wererat with her flail, trying to weaken its attacks and focus its attention on her.

Enfeebling Strike - 1[W]+cha (3); if marked, it also gets -2 to attack rolls to end of my next turn
Note: I'm somewhat confused by the 1[W] + cha - does this mean that she is doing the weapon damage + Cha bonus, or is it a normal melee attack (1D10 + Str bonus) plus the Cha bonus? Assumed the latter below.

Uhlkah almost decapitates the wererat, who stumbles back, holding a clawed hand to his bleeding throat. But he is practiced and tough; still managing to doge the flail.

(1[W] mean 1D20. I don't understand it either, but that's what it means. I think you did it right.)
It is Asterion's Turn.

The wererat falls backwards dying/unconscious. After being locked in battle you notice the woman again because the runes on her head glow, then the body faintly glows the same colour.
Uhlskah's turn.

Without taking his eyes off the woman, Uhlskah gives an ingratiating bow, flashing her his most charming smile. "Uhlskah Kilth at your service, madam. It seems this ... creature was causing you some trouble. Pray, how else may we be of assistance?"

ooc: That's a bad roll, but +9 needs to be added, so...
