As Kritch dove his blade into the skull of the guardsman, he felt the blood of the wound splatter onto his face before the entire body of the guard feel unconscious from the sudden attack. The rat jumped off the body before it could slam onto the hard floor, blood stained his body and blade, and the smell of the intoxicating blood suddenly assaulted Kritch. He shuddered at the sudden pleasure before his stomach growled heavily as his eyes caught sight of the fallen body in front of him. The meat, it must be so succulent under that nasty armor, the texture, the blood would quench his thirst as well... It was starting to look irresistible. It did look quite delicious in his eyes, as Kritch started to move towards the body, those sharp fangs ready to rip through the armor to get into the juicy meat bits. However, before the rat could partake in some fresh flesh, his patched hairs raised up again as something very powerful had joined in the fray of the fight. The sudden feeling of fright spooked Kritch out of his glossy eyed hunger, he squeaked in fear before retreating back into the vents through his smoke form out of just pure instinct. 

Kritch found himself back in the stuffy vents, covered in blood, and realized just how close his hunger had gotten to him. It had been awhile since he had murdered someone, and it had been some time smelling fresh blood that he had almost broke his vows. He looked at his blood soaked dagger before cleaning it with the rags around his body, the sudden euphoria had blinded the rat, but now the smell of blood even though delicious would not trick Kritch once again. So, after Kritch recuperated after the little fight, he reached towards his data-slab for now the rat knew his location now! Fiddling with the controls, Kritch found himself at the map screen before scanning the direct route to the lizard-thing. Now confident in his ability to find his path, Kritch put away the data-slab before scurrying along the vents in a faster pace as Kritch didn't want the fight with that monster to last long with the group as that would constitute Kritch to be all alone in the prison if they all fail to survive the battle with the monster!
