Maybe everyone is right. The beauty of a swarm in your hex with you (if "beauty" is really the right word for packs of ugly nasty smelly biting creatures) is that the exact location of any one individual is unknowable.

Some rats and spiders are at your feet while at the same time some are crawling up your legs, clinging to your arms, riding on your shoulders, and getting tangled in your hair. And they are all changing position from second to second. If you named your rats, you couldn't say from turn to turn if it was Charlie susceptible to a stomp, or Angie you could swat, or Bertram was the unreachable one, but there would always be some in each state (at least until you got down to one rat. My money says it'll be Charlie).

Hey, isn't this is just like subatomic particles in quantum physics? Or has all this made me batty?

That would be a swarm of cats, but they might already be dead.

LOL

No, not Charlie! I always thought he was better than this.

Yes, I agree they are likely to be in all kinds of state-of-clinging. I expect a "stomp" action includes shaking the one off. So, a shake-and-stomp.

I refuse to believe that bold and dignified heroes engage in any sort of shake-and-stomp shenanigans. You might as well add twerking to the talents list.
