Bats!! You can't wrestle bats!!! At least that what was going through Ramious' head. Swarms of bats were good for swarm of bugs to deal with. He stepped forward and tried to grab the monster, and then attempted to flap off the edge of the cliff, pulling the thing with him.....
Athletics check : 27
He uses his action surge to take a swing at the thing with his sword... (if he misses his athletics check, then the attack is without advantage).
Attack: 12 Damage: 14 + 6 thunder damage. 12 if he tries to move on his turn. If he has advantage: 26
"This sucks, this sucks, no that sucks," Bugs muttered repeatedly as the Gargoyle flew back up with a bunch of bats. Nope, nope, nope, that wasn't going to work for him. Raising his ring he shouts, "Ring activate, form of... Parliament of Owls!"
Using the ring of animal friendship to cast a 30ft cone of fear at the bats. DC 13
Sorry it's ring of animal influence, not animal friendship
With a determined expression, Alyssa would keep calm at the introductory of new foes to the room. Bernard was in a precarious situation, but at least Ramious was close by and Leon was on his way. She knew better than to make any decisions in haste, especially considering she’s probably the one with the least amount of useful utility for this space. So she’d focus on the one thing she could do without fail. Bringing her palm up, she’d call upon her magic to fire off five force darts to scatter amongst the foes.

Alyssa's magic ate up Gargoyle's flesh leaving the creature alive but screaming and flapping in such a maniacal frenzy, that even Ramious had trouble to catch the thing. But he did, and the blade finished off the last one of the gargoyle flock.
It did not end the fight, though - bats were still all over the tiefling, surprisingly ignoring the influence of the ring - Bernard felt the magic pulsating in the artifact, and yet, creatures did not flee in panic.
Another good thing (in addition to gargoyle's death) was the absence of geysers eruption - the stillness would not last long, but at least the moment Leon could continue his jumping in relative safety.
To jump - Athletic. If you failed the jump by half or less - Acrobatic. Considering you Athletic is +6, you are fine. And that would be 25ft (standing jump with the spell). (Any other movements or actions?)
Leon managed something close to impossible - make a jump from one swinging disk to another without falling (Wave was very impressed). Now only 30-35ft separated him from the northern platform but the geysers down there begun to bubble.
With Gargoyle gone, the bats remained the only threat at the moment. More annoying than dangerous but still present and still attacking. One swarm tried its luck with Bernard, but the other was still scratching and biting Ramious hide:
Leon was swift and on point as always, efficiently making his way over. With that, Alyssa would continue her focus on the flying ankle biters nipping at Rami and Bernard. Gritting her teeth, she'd realize they were too far for the magic she hoped to use. Nipping the inside of her lip, the elf would revert back to using her good old faithfuls.
Ramious grimaces and quickly gets himself back onto the shelf by Bernard, knowing that the geysers could start exploding at any moment.
Unsure of how to deal with the swarmy bats he simply lights green fire along his blade and takes a swing at the group of them, hoping the green flame will leap to a few of the bats and take out a bunch at a time.
Attack: 11 Damage: 12 + 6 fire damage + 8 fire damage to a nearby enemy.
((This is actually an interesting question whether or not difficult terrain affects standing jump movement calculation wise. I say not and in this case Leon still has his action))
Leon, that managed to traverse the whole length of the pit, appeared on the already crowded northern platform and immediately joined the fight, attacking swarm of bats on Bernard - small cut bodies with the drops of blood covered the ground, making the swarm visibly thinner.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was carefully picking up bats from Ramious with the bolts of magic. These bats were crisped on the fly and dropped down with less of a mess, though Ramious was doing his best to add more visible fire to the fry - the flaming rapier went through the swarm, but attackers were too small and too close, avoiding (if barely) the blade.
Bernard waves his hand trying to ward off the bats. When that doesn't work, he draws his shortsword and starts swinging it about. "You blood suckers and driving me batty!" He shouts as he swings.
Bernard was right in his caution of the bats - crowded platform did not allow much of maneuverability (Bernard could not hit one bat), and swarms utilized it fully to their advantage.
Round 9
Leon (20) - Bats (19) - Alyssa (13) - Ramious (13) - Bernard (6) - both geysers!
Tridend proved to be a surprisingly effective weapon against the cloud of crawling miniature enemy (or was it Wave in particular?) - a few more bodies got pinned and the swarm finally realized where the danger is coming from - a few survivors attacked Leon:
vs Leon: Attack: 11 Damage: 4
vs Ramious: Attack: 18 Damage: 5
although those attacking Ramious were still trying to get through the hide of the tiefling.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Just get out of here ya damn bats!" Bernard shouts out with a huff. He continues to swipe at the bats with the sword hoping to be as affective as his companions.
Combined attack ended up with more little corpses on the ground and stuck on the weapon, with geysers adding one final accord: both simultaneously shooting up fountains of boiling mud. In a few seconds the hissing noise died out and fresh cloud of hot steam begun to condense on the walls, chains and disks.
The bats were dead, Alyssa on the southern platform, and the rest of the group on the northern could see each other again. The impenetrable darkness of the entrance remained silent.

"Well that sucked," Bernard said as he wipes blood off of himself. He pulls out the healer kit and begins to bandage himself up. "Its a dirty place here, you want the wounds covered to prevent infection."
