Use flesh magic to make the cats needles retractable! Take it with us!
[Mehrik, Flesh Lv1: 6; 1] You make Nidlle's needles retractable. They immediately retract... and never come out.
Nidlle: Needled Skin lost.
"Um Derm... Can i get some help just a little bit?.....Please."
Attempt to create an aura of fire around myself, to repell the rats and to burn those stupid enough to face it.
[Spellcrafting, Fire Lv2: 3] You think you can make a small, scary-looking, expanding halo of fire around your hand. You'd need something to
provide you with the flames for the halo, though, and that's an entirely different question. [Fire: 4] Which you solve by setting the trash pile on fire with a well-placed spark.
[Bruce, Fire AoE Lv1: 5] The rats hanging on to your hand fail to escape before your spell gets them, and get cooked quite thoroughly.
"Nidlle(Cactus Cats new name)! Sic'm!"
[Nidlle's Best Judgement: 6; 6; 6; 6; 6; 4] Nidlle shows the amazing cunning of a predator and goes into the fight immediately aiming for the rats' weak points. You didn't even
know rats had weak points!
[Nidlle, Lv1 Claw: 3][Critical Lv1: 1] vs. [Rat, Lv1 Bite: 5] He mauls at one of the rats cautiously, trying to turn it over onto its back. This strategy doesn't seem to work, and the rat gets a bite out of him.
[Regeneration Lv1: 5] Some whitish-red liquid starts leaking out of Nidlle's wound, but it not only closes soon after, but seems to regenerate as well.
Nidlle: still 40/40 HP despite having been bitten, Born to Kill perk added.
[Rat 4, Lv1 Bite: 4] The other rat, the one not being attacked by Nidlle, approaches [Derm/Bruce/Mehrik/Nidlle D4: 2] Bruce and plunges its teeth into his lower leg. This time, it doesn't try to drag Bruce into the rats' nest... probably because said nest is on fire.
[Bruce, Regeneration Lv1: 2] The wound seems pretty bad. He'll probably need some medical attention after this is all over.
