Round 1: Rats have 4 int. Emral has 2. Rats swim at 20. so they will get on the ladder with Emral (as 1/2 move melee) phase 1. Then Dagger will fly, then burning hands will go unless rats make contact.

Miss. Miss. Bite for 1 HP damage. Spell is lost.

Dagger #2 kills one of the rats, which falls into the water, bobbing on the surface.

End of round 1.

Furious at losing the spell, Emral slashes cinematically while leaping off the ladder.

I love those Errol Flynn moves! roll for int. first!

Init: 3 plus modifiers? I’m pretty sure that my dexterity is high enough, but I’m among children who are mischievous and so cannot check.

Attack: 14+2: 16!
Damage: 1d10+2: 12!!!

So after Malak, Emral spins off the ladder and does 12 damage?

I attack the RATS

Malak reaches for a dagger, but in all the excitement, he has clearly forgotten that dagger #1 was thrown on entry 710, and dagger #2 was thrown on entry 739. both of which are still stuck inside dead rats floating below.
Something else, quickly?
 

Shoe?  Frying pan?  Stuffed toy cat?  Actual cat?

Not much left on his character sheet. Maybe the uncirculated platinum pieces?
 

If not, would Emral kill the rat with his attack?

Read #736

Uh huh, I know what you wanted to do... but if you continue reading #737 forward, you'll see that your plan from #736 is not what happened. Emral never descended the ladder. He handed you the lantern and pulled his sword, drawing out the rats, no one moved anywhere. Malak still up top with lantern, Emral has only just jumped down into the water.

Malak shines the light for Emral's furious swing. The blade decapitates rat #2, the dying grin on the severed head forever seared into the warlock's memories as detritus slashes the walls.
