Events

(These take place during episode XIV & XV of the main story and they follow on exactly from the end of the previous session)

Having more or less announced the company’s presence to the huge rat which was half out of the tunnel in the far wall Esme proceeded to set her shield and slide the socketing axe form her belt and march forward at a steady almost drilled pace. Everyone else took some time to react to her action and even the rat towards whom she was heading did no more than regard her advance with casual interest. The first to react was Siskin who rushed forward to engage before Esme followed by Leon, who swore and moved quickly to a jog followed by an alarmed Nyadryn who accelerated into a blind sprint shouting at Esme to stand away as he closed with the still unreactive rat. Esme seemingly ignored him and accelerated herself to quickly close the last few feet.
