This fight is going nowhere fast. More rats have swarmed out; if by coincidence or Nasir's curse- they attack in greater numbers. Your entire group is exhausted from a day of delving, plus trying to carry back this ungodly thing to the village a mile away- it's just not going to happen. With Richard now crippled, you can't make it away- you have to flee. But you're so exhausted and out of resources. The only hope is to abandon the one thing these rats are interested in- more then anything else.
Nasir, still mostly safe inside the silver tub, watches as Jon motions- the Snail picking up Richard's body and cutting a quick path. Inbetween Nasir and the rest of the party- a few rats come in to nip at his exposed fingers and face- ducking as far back as he can from the slippery sides of the tub. It won't be long before they find a way in.
"W-Wait! I'm surrounded- I can't follow you! Jon-? Jon! Come back! Elly! Someone! Don't leave me here!- Please!"
Jon and Elly shut their ears as they carry the torch and what little they have grabbed of the loot- the silver rings and golden bangles- and leave Nasir behind to his fate. They hear his screams echo before they finally manage to make their way back to the mines- and up again.
