His grip was failing. Slowly the mouth closed down around him before he was swallowed.

Dexion stopped looking at the two. For a moment his eyes flashed a soft green, his hand sparking to life. Before them a pile of rocks formed into a golem, which charged at the manticores. Another formed after it, and from the entrance of the cave an earth elemental stumbled. Within seconds the two enemies were dead. Though the elf was left light headed a dizzy. "Please...he needs help." Dexion stammered though he was having a hard enough time staying up right.

Kelpie dashes right over, Eirini directly behind. Neko hesitates.

Outside the hydra followed the scent of the others as it reaches the cave though it stumbles. Seconds later a hand brush from its chest. The creature screams before falling to the ground. By the time the others get out there Crow managed to pull himself from the creature. Covered in blood he glares at the others. "This is what I was earning you about."

Neko's gone. There's no hint to where she'd went- she must've used Crow's escape as a way to leave unnoticed.

"Now...if we might, can we please get going?" Crow asked looking at the two females.

Kelpie simply nods quietly.

"Good then let's get going." Crow said. Dexion followed him as they made their way off into the woods.

Kelpie stays close to Dexion, Eirini following not far behind.

Most of the night they travled in silence. Come morning though Crow found them a safe place to rest. He made sure this cave was cleared before allowing anyone else in. There was a small waterfall near the back where the party could get clean.

Neko still hasn't shown up. Kelpie has been staying particularly close to Dexion since the manticore incident.
