Adventure 1: Trouble in the Waterworks.

Regrouped, you make your way further down the eastern passage, eventually, you reach what seems to be a large collection bassin with a huge drain. The water is lazily draining down the drain, indicating that whatever is located beneath this room must be reaching capacity. The source of the splashing become soon apparent as you notice another 6 giant rats in the brackish water. As soon as they notice you, they hiss and make their way towards you, just like the last ones did...

Combat is about to begin.

Current Initiative:
Cassi 16
Liroc 13 (roll 6 tie-breaker)
Malingad 13 (roll 1 for tie-breaker)
Coring (pet) 13 (roll 10 for tie-breaker)
Giant Rats 13 (roll 4 tie-breaker)
Novyn 12 (INT 15 for spells) (temporarily unavailable).
Herradine 8
Nunri 8

Once again, we have quadruple equality for initiative, so I'll ask those at 13 to please roll a d10 to break ties. While I wait for your rolls, I'll prepare the combat map.
To speed things up, I think I'll also try the following house rule: If a tie-breaker roll still result in a tie, I'll give priority to PCs over NPCs/monsters.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot, after last fight, I noticed some combat modifiers listed on p.31, including combat penalties for partial darkness and darkness which were not listed on p.56 (total darkness combat penalties are still listed on that page) for some odd reason... I'll try to remember those modifiers, and also remember that if you're attacking an enemy which isn't in an illuminated/brightly illuminated area, you'll suffer a -25% penalty (for partial darkness), or a -50% penalty (for dark).

Combat Map

Please place your counters on the map. You should be in or around the red dotted circle.

On an unrelated note, I found out I could put a picture as background, which means it cannot be accidentally selected and moved or re-sized. Go ahead and try selecting the sewer battle map, you can't. This should make combat more practical. Wish I had known that during my Pathfinder/Ravenloft game...

Conditions: Thanks to light shining in from the streets above through various grates, this section of the sewers is in Partial Darkness (-25% to vision-based Perception tests, -25% to attack rolls). Liroc and Cassi are carrying the party's sources of light, illuminating the sewers in a 3 meters radius for human characters. Malingad and Nunri both treat Partial Darkness as Illuminated (see rulebook p.31 and p.56).

Cassi and Coring are up!
