Alyssa would let out a light breath of relief when she’d be informed that the scraper appears to have deflated. That was one less thing to worry about.
Bernard did not express a need for mending, simply just the desire to see. She shared some of the same sentiments, but at the same time the darkness had proven advantageous for them in some ways. A would chew on her lip in thought for a moment before siding up a little closer to Bugs. Straining her ears and focusing her elven sight as much as she possibly could in this cloak of darkness, the elf would gently guide him with the help of her senses.
Action: Help Bernard for him to have advantage on his next attacks.
Movement: Move with the group, sticking to Bernards side for the help

Bernard would jump a little feeling A move closer but yet not seeing her clearly. He would follow her up with the others and at her prompting. "Call out the shot," he would say while pointing in the general direction of the threat.
Move with the group
Action: Attack with bow at A's directive
Attack: 16 Damage: 9 + 2 force damage and push the enemy back 5 feet 28 if gaining advantage
Attack: 20 Damage: 9 + 4 force damage and push the enemy back 5 feet 23 if gaining advantage

The local hurricane continued to move between the people in the darkness, now far less powerful. (2) As Ramious expected, irritated by the wounds it did move after the group and the thunderous sound was the proof of that. Bernard could be sure that at least one one arrow found its target but the thing was still alive (if that word could be used here). Alive and attacking:
vs Leon: Attack: 14 Damage: 9 Attack: 17 Damage: 11
(Bernard is silent for two days, I'll roll the attacks.)
Attack: 22 Damage: 9 Attack: 16 Damage: 9
Silent fighting in the pitch black darkness continued. Another swing of the sword, a sparkle from a rapier that scratched the stone wall, and the fiery "whoosh" of the bolt and two arrows - and then the silence deepened as never before. For a few heartbeats there was no sound of wind, not a slightest breeze graced your skin, then the usual rumbling of the mountain broke the stillness. It seemed the enemy - all of them! - were gone.
"Invigorating, isn't it? He-he-he." Familiar voice and cackling filled the tunnel. "You can drop that camouflage of yours, by the way," matter-of-factly added Keraptis, "I know you are there, he-he-he." Obviously happy with his incredible sense of humor he continued with a pretentious scorn in the tone. "Can not say I am happy with you dispatching my janitor like this. This is not the way to treat personnel, young lady! Of course I will find another one, but you can not imagine all the problems of the hiring process in these mountains. Checking recommendations alone is a nightmare, I can tell you!" He made a sad pause but immediately cackled again."He-he-he. Was a nice show, though. Almost worth it. You see, you were sleeping - or whatever you were doing in that little hut of yours (how did you fit in anyway? Must have being quite crowded). I was bored... And then I asked myself "how a good host can entertain his dearest friends?" How? And then it struck me! A welcoming party, of course! Oh, well... Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Happy traveling to you."
The rumbling of the mountain answered Keraptis's speech and you found yourself alone again in that corridor.
Huffing and puffing Ramious growls a little bit as he hears the voice...while slowly calming himself. The darkness remains around the group for a bit longer.
"Sorry for man-handling you Alyssa...was just tryin to get you outta harms way and I woulda done it to Leon and Bugs too. Nice work everyone. Bugs, sorry for the dark...it just seemed....better than not dark. I should probably go scout ahead while I got this darkness stuck to me." He glances up and pauses for a moment, "I bet this guy is like 3 feet tall and can't grow a beard to save his life. He's probably all bony and weak from sittin around. I mean, it's clear he's not all together here, if you know what I mean."
The tiefling grins a toothy grin in the darkness.
"Ok, stay here, I'll be right back."
Careful to keep alert, Ramious proceeds down the crooked hallway ahead of the group, still shrouded in darkness.

Heavy silence answered Ramious remark, though tiefling could be sure he was heard. Then, despite numerous injuries, Ramious pushed on, turning sharp right from the short corridor the group was in.
At first glance the straight as an arrow 70-foot-long corridor ahead did not look anyhow special but the steps inside there sounded quite strange. When Ramious glanced down, he saw that the floor looked too even and smooth, also, devoid of any algae. Apparently, the floor here consisted of metal plates and maybe it was his imagination but was it some low humming he heard?
Ramious stop abruptly. Well...that was far enough.
He turns back to the others, leaving the trapped hallway, and lets the darkness drop.
There is blood running from his nose, ears, and mouth. His eye is black and he has a massive purple bruise forming on his neck. He seems to be favoring his right side slightly.
"Well, the next hallway seems clear of beasties. Seems like it's trapped. The floor is metal and buzzing."

“Fun never ends.” Leon says with a growl as he blinks his eyes and looks around. “Likely the only path forward though, so anyone have any ideas of what to do about this floor?”
"What wizard doesn't know Prestidigitation? I recommend it." Alyssa would blurt in response to Keraptis, using it to help clean off any acid that could be clinging to her armour. As the cleric inspected herself, she'd peak under her chest piece, sucking air in through her teeth when she'd test how tender she was from the invisible foes strike. A would stifle a whimper. She was definitely heavily bruised. Hearing Ramious' apology, the blonde would shake her head lightly. Just as other times as before, it never bothered her. She wasn't upset. At that moment she just really wanted to try to help... But it's not like she was altogether either.
Blue hues scan, inventorying the damage. Alyssa's hand raises, reaching out a bit before stopping and returning it to her side. She'd allow for Bugs to complete the proper assessment. Should he need assistance distributing mending beyond his med kit and accompanying sources, the cleric had magic reserves ready to use.
A would tilt her head. "Metal and buzzing?" With a quirked brow, she'd pivot and take steps towards the sound Ramious was indicating to see if she might be able to investigate it a bit further. What sort of contraption could it be this time?
Not the one you have seen so far: not only the floor was inlaid the metal plates (copper, by the look of it) but the ceiling as well. Anyone willing to walk through the corridor would walk in between these two metallic bands. Whether it's magical, mechanical or combination of both - hard to tell but there is some dust here and there, on the border of visibility, suspiciously resembling ash and small splashes of ... another type of metal? Hard to tell, you would need to walk deep in to check.
Ramious looks at Alyssa checking her wounds and hissing, and glance around. "I know we just slept, but, can we stop for a just a few minutes. I think a short rest and some healing before we continue would be wise."

“A short breather would likely be a good idea.” Leon says with a nod. He glances to the strange 70-foot-long passage ahead. “I’ll send my owl ahead to see if it can tell anything about what is at the other end of the hall there.” He says, calling his owl forth from its extra-dimensional home. He has it fly down the hall, not touching the ceiling or floor, to see what lays beyond. It is also a test to see if something flying through causes some sort of trap to be sprung or not.

"At least a short enough rest for me to help patch everyone up," Bernard says as he begins to pull out the healer's kit. Without looking at the others he says, "If this mission has done anything... it has shown me my inadequacies. Close quarters, darkness, and a dozen other things." He sighs, "Only thing to is keep workin..."
"Aw, don't tell me you are going to rest again! Tired already? And here I thought such big strong bearded men could go on forever! No?" He made a pause as if expecting an answer but added fast. "On the other hand, I think I'll allow it. For now. But don't keep me waiting! You have not seen it all yet!"
Before the sound died out, Leon's owl flew up like a quiet shadow moving along the corridor. Nothing happened to the bird and before it flew out of the communication range, it reported a big empty square room with a door on one side and stairs leading up on another.

Ramious ignores the voice except for a glance upwards, then sits down, and looks down the passage. "Hmmm...so...the owl got down there unharmed. Too small for me to fly us. How far does the passage lead? We could try running it."
He sits down to rest, but during the rest, decides to play, and pulls out a handful of ball bearings, 20 or so, and tosses them as hard as he can down the hallway, rolling them across the floor.
Short rest : HD : 8 + 22 + 12.
Moves one 1st level spell slot to a sorcery point.
Sent by the mighty Ramious's hand, the small metal globes made it almost to the end of the corridor, or could make it: as they progressed along the way the humming grew louder and as sound was increasing the balls begun to slowly shine as if heating up. The shiny globes turned into just sparkles and burned out completely before they could drop onto floor.

Ramious strikes out once more, methodical in his fighting technique against this invisible enemy.
Attack: 12 Damage: 10 + 1 thunder damage plus an additional 12 if it moves.
Then, once again, he backs away from the creature (but only if he hits).

Even Alyssa couldn’t see the threads of fate aligning the way they did for Bernard’s last arrow. Perhaps a kiss from Tymora?
Taking chance into her own hands this time, the elf would follow up the familiar sounds of Ramious’ strike with some fire of her own.
