Alrighty, some things happened since the last battle. After searching a room, Dengar found some rotten cheese, which was given to Greedo to carry. Upon searching another room, a small hole is discovered in the wall. So, Greedo puts the cheese in front of the hole. The floor rumbles and the wall explodes as a huge crazed rat bursts forth, followed by a battalion of smaller rats, driven to distraction by the odor of the cheese! It was time for a boss battle!
That Fat Rat was immune to the effects of 4-LOM's lute and was unaffected by Dengar's charm. So, the party concentrated all their firepower on the Fat Rat. The Fat Rat attacked Bossk and IG-88 and Greedo, and Zuckuss was slinging Heal Wounds as fast as he could, all the while taking out the group of Killer Rats with Stink Bombs. He and 4-LOM double-teamed on the Fat Rat, with 4-LOM unleashing a full blast (as his mana would allow) of Energy Blast, and Zuckuss letting it have it with all the Acid Splash he had. That was summarily followed by Dengar stabbing with his spear, Greedo thrusting with the cutlass, Bossk taking a swing with the bastard sword, and IG-88 letting loose with one of his jackhammer hits. Lather, rinse, repeat. The Fat Rat finally goes down, though he almost took Greedo, Bossk, and IG-88 with him. The rest of the rats were wiped out with a Stink Bomb and a swing from Bossk's bastard sword.
After that, 4-LOM gained a level (level 5) and learned Terror. Zuckuss cast Heal Wounds on the injured party members, then they hoofed it down to the basement to, uh, "procure" some items from the trader, Queequeg. So, Greedo makes his move... and steals some items. Those items, once reviewed and either traded to another party member and equipped or deemed useless, were then sold back. Greedo pilfers some more and snags three Heavy Heals! Greedo also stole himself some leather goods, so now he's decked out in leather. He stole a fur halter, but no one could use that, so he sold it back for a measly amount.
Next up is exploring the new passageway the party has uncovered! Well, it was explored, but we forgot to save, so we need to explore it again. At least it's mapped out and the party knows pretty much what to expect to find in there, aside from random enemy battles.
