5. Jump over and run!
There's no way that thing can turn quickly in this sort of corridor - a fit of wild, desperate inspiration hits, and you run... towards the bloodthirsty monster.
Genius.
You are truly the smartest
[ ] boy
[ ] girl
[ ] person of indeterminate gender
in the world.
"AAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH," you bravely cry, the rat's vicious expression almost seeming befuddled as its prey attempts suicide in an entirely unexpected manner.
And then you fling yourself over the Dire Rat.
"SCREEE?!"
Fear propels you harder and higher than you though you were capable of, barely avoiding clipping the confused monster as you hurtle over it and hit the floor
[ ] on your feet. (HARD)
[ ] in an awkward roll. (MEDIUM)
[ ] in a crumpled heap. (EASY)
[ ] Other? (VARIES)

6. Girl. Cling to the ceiling like a bat
(Roll needed: 18. Rolled: 5. lol)
You rise through the air like a bird taking wing. A fledgling bird that's never flown before. And doesn't understand gravity.
"OH GOD WHY," you ponder as your fingernails scramble furiously across the ceiling for a brief instant, before physics helpfully inform you that such an endeavour will only impede your progress, and send you crashing down onto -
Hm. Dire Rats sure are squishy. And a screamy. And flaily. Especially when they're shaking and throwing themselves around to try and get a panicked girl off from their back.
Current HP: 56/60!
Dire Rat HP: 76/80!

[ ] JUST CLING ON AND SCREAM A LOT
[ ] Try and gouge its eyes out with your fingers!
[ ] Slip off its back and flee while it's distracted.

7. Cling on and scream
(Roll needed: 14. Rolled: 14)
Terror and adrenaline fuel you, or maybe you just aren't thinking at all (probably that one). Your fingers dig deep into the Rat's wiry fur, holding on for dear life while it shrieks and hurls itself around in a wild dance to get you off it.
You help panic it more by keeping up a constant scream.
Admittedly, you get knocked against the walls a couple of times, knocking off a Hit Point here and there, but the rat doesn't seem to have worked out it can deliberately do that, nor has it tried to roll over... so you'll count this as a win. Sort of.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH OH GOD OH GOD WHY OH GOD."
And you'll keep screaming. For the whole two minutes you've currently been on the monster's back.

[ ] There is a rat tail. You must pull it, for reasons. Bad reasons.

Kinda hoping this accidentally turns the rodent into a mount, with our riding 3.

There is no reason not to both kick and scream.
Zenny and I have some history in trying to drive each other to drink in the others quests.
Eito is a fond memory~

8. Be a nutrionally-deprived rat-kicker
Your panicked wails of physical deficiency are somewhat pointless, considering you're currently in a virtual body,
[ ] and still a lie considering your real-life body is that of a well-fed, upper-class teen.
[ ] even though it's true your real body is fueled by the cheap junk food of a struggling, lower-class teen.
[ ] Other?
In any case, your kicks, while weak, are both furious and numerous - even as your hands clutch at the violently-writhing body, your boots repeatedly slam into the monster's sides in time with your terrified begging.
Dire Rat -1 HP!
-1 HP!
-1 HP!
...
Your own health trickles down at a larger, but slower rate when you get knocked into the walls, although ducking yourself low against its back helps; the cheery -1 HP notice for the Rat itself comes thick and fast though, even as your feet start to ache. Seriously, why is the pain level so high?!

[ ] Wait for it to fling its head back and strangle the vermin!
