Elrina rolls away, while Alaria attacks one of the rats?

This was her second turn.

I thought since they were all attacking Alaria, they must be stationed near her...

I hope the outcome won't be something like "Let's go solve a murder. They were eaten by rats." Because that would be even funnier than the harpy situation.

Now I'm thinking I should have taken immunity to diseases instead of magic resistance. However, I don't hang out with rats, unlike some.

Jack attacks (topaz). Rudbeks moves closer to the spider (vertically).
Halmeldir will probably continue attacking, but Arec should confirm.

You should have taken hit points. They are more versatile than magic resistance. Besides, the latter can be obtained from other sources and works in layers.

Yes, I have enough hit points, 2550, plus a ring that regenerates 10% of my hit points each turn.

But magic resistance is essentially a boost to hit points.

You're right. I missed that moment.
Actually, I initially wanted to take the bonus to strength; I didn't even think much about HP.

Basically, Elrina runs away, and Alaria keeps missing > hitting > missing > hitting
It's too much effort to calculate the damage against Alaria; the rats have no chance of winning anyway.

Once the rats were dealt with, the weary inquisitor hurried to help the barely conscious Altina. After bringing the policewoman back to her senses, she cauterized the wounds sustained by the group members one by one.
— As much as I'd like to continue exploring the sewers, I suggest we take a short break and rest on the surface. Take a shower, for example. Have a snack. After that, we can continue the investigation. Because, as it seems to me, we are not capable of continuing it in our current state. Do you agree?

Elrina nodded silently, unable to say anything. She was still shivering, and it seemed like a fever was starting. First, the disfigured body found in one of the rooms, then the attack by giant killer rats, and all of this was happening right beneath the gleaming streets of the capital, where she had been peacefully strolling just a day ago. It was all too much to process, but now she definitely needed rest, and later, she would need to acquire some medicine to treat the infection that these repulsive rodents might carry.

When (if) Altina agrees, we buy ingredients for six omelets (462, with a discount) and eat one each at Alaria's house. Of course, she cooks them while wearing her clothes. Everyone also eats seven semifreddos. Even Altina. Otherwise, it would be impolite.

— Brrr, — Altina had seen a lot during her time in the capital's police force, but today's experience was definitely not something she ever wanted to repeat, — a shower and a little rest wouldn't hurt, I agree. And thank you, I don't think this world was ready to lose me.

When the trio emerged from the sewers, the Tanarian woman invited them to her home to wash off the sewer stench. Afterward, they quickly visited some shops so that Alaria could prepare a small snack for them, consisting of a soufflé omelet, a cup of homemade coffee, and, for dessert, semifreddo.
—I apologize again for the slight mess,” said the inquisitor, placing the dishes on the table, “I didn’t expect to be hosting guests today.
