Deneve pulls herself up the knotted rope at a speed that surprises even herself, arriving just in time to be subjected to a rippling wave of scorching air that envelops you all, briefly warping your vision so that all you can see are blurry shapes and ill defined colours.<br/>As the heat haze passes the second bat creature swoops down aiming a sting at Rose, the success of their breath weapons making the beasts forget the wounds it suffered on previous attempts. Sure enough this attack ends similarly, with the green haired girl ducking and countering the stout barb with ease. Things only get worse for the bat creature as Red hits it with a second blast of energy and before it can recover Daria drops the rope and draws her bow, just managing to lose an arrow into the creature’s back. Its many wards of the flesh do not protect it this time and the cold creature loses control of its flight path, crashing into the cliff face. Its twitching body falls into a crumpled heap, sliding down rocky gentle slope 20ft below.<br/>Before you can celebrate however a stranger appears out of the cave to even the odds. Above, the last bat creature turns on its wings to likewise attack, evidently forgetting the scene of death it just witnessed.<br/><br/>OOC: Everyone except Kazumi takes 12 points of fire damage, reflex save DC: 13 halves it.
