Zinna eyes narrow as she sees the huge rats come streaming out. " Here are the first to die in these catacombs. Inasyah salutes you. " She smirks and pulls out her wand. Motioning towards the nearest rat with her wand hand she hexes it. She then points her wand directly at it and calls out words of power. A shimmering light appears and a swirling mass of glowing green leaves rockets towards the rat. There is a hissing sound as the beam travels.
Specific Action: She cast hex as a bonus action and eldritch blast at the nearest rat to her as her main action. Hex was cast using her warlock level 1 slot.

Corren finds himself almost immediately surrounded by five rats but he is able to strike at them before they have the opportunity to attack him and skewers one on his rapier. Mradoric swings his staff in a downward arc in an attempt to pummel one of the rats moving toward him but the attack misses and he hits the stone floor instead eliciting a loud cracking noise but he manages to follow up with a knife hand strike that snaps one of the rats spines just as it launches itself toward his face. The rat falls lifeless.
The rats surge forward though one finds sliced in half by Leo's glaive before they can close the distance. The rats around Corren begin to crawl up his legs, one jumps onto his chest as they bite at him. Most of the bites are absorbed by Corren's armor but he does feel some sharp pain as a couple of attacks find their way through (Corren takes a total of 11hp piercing damage this round).
Two rats charge at Leo who swings his glaive wide and misses but follows up with a solid hit with the butt of the weapon on one of the rats. The rats bite at him and he takes 3hp of piercing damage. Zinna is assaulted by a lone rat whom she places a hex on and fires an eldrich blast at it though her attack misses. The rat fails to bite through her armor.
Initiative: Corren--Mradoric--Rats--Leo--Zinna.
Corren curses but continues to attack with the rapier, using the hilt to knock at the one on his chest.
Out of Character: : I will roll it as a normal attack, assuming no grapple/restrained rules have been invoked. And if by some fluke someone else is close enough to threaten his rat(S), he will gladly accept sneak attack damage. I'll roll it in case it matter.
The hilt of Correns rapier punches the rat off of Corren's chest and he skewers it mid flight before it hits the ground.
Out of Character: : I'm not going to grant sneak attack for these opponents primarily because they are aware of Corren's presence and actively engaged with him; Corren being their primary target at the moment. If they were focused on one of the other PC's (For example one of the rats that had attacked Leo the first round) then I think it would be reasonable for Corren to gain the sneak attack.
It is Mradoric's turn.
Mradoric's staff takes down another rat with an audible crunch. The rats swarm and move past the party and quickly up the stairs but not before everyone in the party gains an attack of opportunity on them; four more rats lie dead leaving only two rats to actually flee the scene.
