While the cramped space still makes her uneasy, the opening up helps her relax a little bit, comparatively. She can almost pretend that she's outside. Except not really, because she has to peer out, and keep watch. The crystalline lights help, at least, reminding her somewhat of home. Myst instinctively reaches out in front of her with her magyk, almost like a blind man in a dark... cave. If there's something ahead of her, she wants to know as early as possible, so she has room to maneuver, and to position. Perception: 15 Binding One With the Winds (8m range of wind touch).

Ethais sweeps the beam of her lantern this way and that, adding to the light from the lamps along the walls. She hadn't known whether they would all be functioning after the miners collapsed the passage before, and even now, having her own lantern doesn't hurt. She peers intently through her goggles as she looks for signs that might point to where the trapped miner is hiding or where Pokémon might lurk in ambush. Kupek, lower to the ground and occasionally preoccupied with shifting debris out of the way, isn't in as good a position to keep an eye out, but he does his best; magicite-bearing caves like this are his home turf, and he might find subtle signs the trainers would miss. Ethais's Perception: 13 Kupek's Perception: 11

Kupdi filled the pressing silence with the soft noises his people were known for, keeping stride with the chocobo. This place was wearing on his nerves, he had expected unrelenting hordes or a lone soul half trapped under rubble, both thoughts that had him nervous to begun with. Something was coming, he knew that, but the waiting was making him antsy. "H-how are you feeling Myst Kupo?"

"I'm holding up," Myst says, "But I will not lie and say that I am entirely comfortable with the situation. I would much prefer to be in an area where I can fly about, and there is not the possibility of the sky falling on my head."

Myst feels it first, as though her fingers were lifting a thousand wings at once. A few moments later she could hear it, a cacophony of screeching and wing beats as her extended senses are nearly overwhelmed. Soon afterwards Ethais and Kupdi hear it as well. They have just enough time to prepare themselves before the wave of batlike creatures storm their way into the tunnel from ahead. At first it appeared to be a whirlwind of blues and purples soon coalesces into a a cloud of Pokemon which quickly turn their attentions towards the group. MapCombat start. There's a tracker for initiatives on the sheet

"Prepare yourself Treize, they come." Kupdi drew the weapon from his hip, little more than a hilt before black and white light roiled from the crossguard, a crystal jutting from the top of the hilt generating the roughshod outline of a sword. The Chocobo held firm in a defensive stance, and the moogle prepared to go on the offensive, his little bat wings fluttering.

The cloud of bats flys forward before anyone has a chance to fully react, a large group of them striking at Kupek with their fangs, each doing little individually but the whole eventually wearing down on him. Kupek is Bit! He takes 22 Physical Dark damage before defenses

Myst shudders a little as she feels the numbers of the Yarhi. But then battle is joined, and fear is forgotten. Or, at least, pushed aside. A warrior must fight, and fight she will. Calling upon her magyks, she envelops herself in an aura of wind. With a flap of her wings, she dives over top of the Chocobo, and through the Swarm, before coming out the other side. She's still not used to fighting in such a confined space, though... Myst uses Aerial Ace as a Pass (starting while entering D11), for 21 (multitarget) Physical Flying damage on the swarm.

"Hammer and Anvil Kupo!" Whiskerwall cried, his feathered friend lunging forward and performing a pincer attack with both heads after Myst backs away from the hoard.
(44 Dark Physical before weakness and resistance)

The combined onslaught of Myst and Trieze nearly collapse a third of the cloud, but they quickly collect themselves and strike at the Doduo nearly full strength, their wings beating into the mount. Wing Attack on Trieze for 28 flying physical damage before defenses

Ethais twists knobs and pulls switches on her cannon, pushing in a long, cylindrical round that rattles slightly in her hands. She lifts the gun to her shoulder, sighting on the middle of the cloud of Zubat. She has to aim carefully, knowing that Myst is somewhere behind the screen of flapping wings. "And... there. Bombs away!" The report echoes thunderously in the enclosed space of the tunnel as the shell arcs over Kupek and Kupdi's heads, and then there's a loud rattling as the canister shot bursts open, sending projectiles scattering throughout the Zubat swarm. Ethais uses Salvo! 28 Physical Normal damage, Burst 2, targeting the area under the starburst on the map - E10-F11.

As the smoke clears from the attack, a large portion of the Zubats are on the ground not moving and the rest seem too stunned to react. The cave itself seems to shudder for a moment and some small rocks fall from above, clinking on the ground at the parties feet. It doesn't seem like the swarm will be distracted for much longer though...

Kupdi's sword flares with the Aether of Mog Creation, black and white. With a lunging thrust he sends a shockwave along the ground, sweeping it up into a clean firing beam into the midst of the hoard.

Master stroke finished, he took an attentive stance, sword held behind him, grip tightening on the pommel. His voice echoing and carrying more than his small stature might suggest. "BY THE LAW BE BOUND, YOUR TRICKS WILL NOT SERVE YOU!"

Ethais winces a little at the tremor her shot caused. "Gotta remember not to do that in caves," she mutters. "Get 'em, Kupek!"
The Geodude imitates the round stone he resembles and rolls end over end, barreling forward through the swarm.
Kupek uses Rollout! 7 vs AC 4, Line, 23 Physical Rock damage before effectiveness and defense

As Kupdi fires his line of creation energy into the cloud, a slight figure in armor appeared behind the foes for just a moment. It's quickly overshadowed by Kupek barreling through the bats, leaving a ton of them laying motionless on the ground. However the remaining ones don't take the attack lying down and turn on the moogle, buffeting him with their wings and sneaking past his shield. Kupdi takes 23 physical flying type damage before defenses

"Be wary, please," Myst cries out, as the cave shakes. Being buried alive, entombed within the earth... that would be the worst way to go, she thinks. Striking once more at the bats, though without as much force - her magyk taking moments to replenish itself - she swiftly wings backwards, away from the mass. Struggle vs Swarm: 19 vs AC 4 for 21 Physical Normal damage.

"Treize, hustle Kupo!" Kupdi swept his weapon down to his side, ready for another stroke should he need it, as the bird moved in with a barrage of intensely fast beak-strikes. kxpqHOIS1d20 Quick Attack (Before the Swarm) 2d6+24 Normal Physical 2d6+8 Crit Damage

Before the bats even had a chance to strike the Moogle, Myst felt the rush of the wind as Trieze moved with unprecedented speed and struck into the swarm. Unfortunately a few still stood and completed their attack on the Moogle. However the last few fell as Myst struck them on her way backwards, the entire swarm now lying defeated on the ground before slowly turning into a purple gas and dissipating, only a few wings and fangs staying on the ground once the gas was gone. The monsters had returned to Mist. 75 experience for everyone
also 4 Zubat Wings and 2 Zubat Fangs if anyone picks them up The caves once again stood empty, with a few paths being open before the group. The miner could be down any one of them...

Myst feels a sense of relief as the swarm dissipates. It's never fun having to face Yarhi - the risk of death is always there. Getting her bearings once more, she looks around. "Everyone is all right, yes?" she asks, looking and listening towards each tunnel to see if there might be any hint of which to go down - sounds of conflict, tracks leading inwards rather than out, anything like that. She'd rather not spend time going down dead ends. The sooner that they can all leave, the better. Perception: 11

Kupdi takes a moment to administer medicine to himself and his faithful steed. "Well enough, Kupo..." He dismissed the mothering, he was too old to be worried about. Moving through the macabre remains of the sizeable swarm of bats. "I'm sure there's something here we might make use of. Shame we had to bring them to harm, poor frightened beasts..."
Kupdi collects the bat remains.
