Ramious looks to the group, "Very well. I'll take you first Bugs. With my hands full I won't be doin much but flyin. If those things show up, it'll be a race."
Ramious tries to pick him up. Assuming he'll be able to fly with him, he grabs him in a bear hug and unfolds his large wings, and leaps off the edge, flying up towards the ceiling awkwardly and staying to the right side of the room as he attempts to fly him across to the far side.

Bernard was not exactly weightless, nor was his backpack (weapon, armour and so on). Ramious' own stuff added to the total weight enough to slow down even the mighty tiefling. Right before the preparations were finished, the farthest geyser erupted and six seconds later the close one shot up too, sending some hot drops of watery mud towards companions. It was a small window but Ramious managed.
Round 1 - R+B at 30ft into the cave (I assume dashing)
Round 2 - 60ft
Round 3 - 90ft (reached the next platform) + eruption of the southern (close to the entrance) geyser.
Round 4 - eruption of the northern geyser (near R and B now)
Ramious looks around, and if it looks safe, leaving Bugs on the far platform, he waits for the southern geyser, then northern geyser to go once more, then sweeps his wings out and flies as fast as he can to the first platform.

Alyssa would keep watch from where she stood. Her clouded white eyes scan the area for any foes while she listened to the geysers spout. The scholar would see if she could determine a pattern to help Rami navigate easier.
Ramious transported silent Bernard without an accident - he was not attacked, he did not loose his precious cargo, despite the thick moist heat, and he managed to keep the steady pace to cross the dangerous space. Alyssa was watching over the transportation but the only truly suspicious thing there was the entrance on the other side - to her elven sight it looked too dark even for that place.
The unnerving silence of the voyage was interrupted only once - by Keraptis. "Pff, cheaters!" He did not add anything else not commented if he was going to do something about it.
On the other side of the pit Bernard and Ramious were now standing on the small - 10x10ft - opposite platform and could take the closer look at the suspicious entrance. The strange darkness got an explanation - it was not an ordinary darkness as if "absence of the light source" but the pure black of magically summoned night. Not a sound was heard from within the black barrier.
The geysers erupted once again and he flew back - now free from any encumbrance. Still, he was almost caught by the southern geyser - a few boiling hot drops of mud hit the wings, safe enough for the tiefling, but anyone else could get hurt.
When Ramious was in the middle of the cave, he could hear a high pitch squeak from behind - the unexpected expected happen, a monster from the corridor returned to attack. It flew from the impenetrable darkness jumping Bernard, that was left alone on the platform.
But instead of biting or clawing the ranger, the monster tried to push him off the platform with all the might of its rock-hard body:
Shove: 6
Bernard - Athletic or Acrobatic check!
Monster Initiative: 20
This is round 5 and Ramious 60ft from the northern platform (from Bernard) and 30ft from the southern (the rest of the group). The monster is 100 ft away from the group, Bernard - 95ft away.
"You have anything that can help me get over there?" Leon asks the trident in his hand. He lifts his other hand and sends a trio of magical missiles flashing across into the creature attacking bugs...
The silence in Leon's head lasted a touch too long - the Wave was probably looking for the appropriate snarky answer not finding any. "No," finally admitted the trident, "but I would protect you from being boiled should you fall. And would not allow any enemy to ambush you either."
((Consider all the abilities of Wave to be present, though, their use is up to the its will))
The bolts of force flew straight to the creature making it jerk and shriek again.
((Bernard might want to rethink actions - the monster has wings. Also, first jump was surprise round and now has a turn again.
In short: Leon, Alyssa (and Ramious if he risks to join instead of moving forward) - Initiative. Bernard - consider that monster might want to try shoving again - Bernard's back is toward the pit, monsters back - toward the entrance with darkness in it.
Ramious swoops around and with all his might flies for Bernard....(dash action to get just behind Bernard, hopefully acting as a barrier for him being 'shoved' off)

I suppose it does have wings but Alyssa has my magic shortsword. So I want distance. I would imagine it would fall.at least at least a few feet before it could get the fall under control
Fair enough, but you can not make two shoves in one turn - only one attack can be replaced (can grapple and shove, though).
The monster, failing its attempt to shove Bernard off the platform made an offended noise and tried again, adding biting to the assault:
Attack: 19 Damage: 3
Shove: 6
Bernard, we can use your first Athletic roll as a check, second as an attempt to shove. And scrap that ruling - it is up to DM and DM says "yes" - shove as many times as you want.
"I can't just stand here." Leon growls under his breath. Slipping the trident into his belt he backs up and then runs ten feet, casting jump on himself. This should get him nearly 50 feet of jumping distance... Though he can only use 30 feet of that thanks to his movement, since he cast Jump as his action and cannot dash.
he will grab for which ever of the chains is closest to the place his jump lands him...

Alyssa would let out a light chuckle when Keraptis would call them cheaters. "We were given no rules, therefore how can we cheat? It's fair game Keraptis." She'd chime back as her eyes scanned.
At the sight of the returning creature, Alyssa would ready some magic.
Initiative: 14
In Bernard's defense, she'd release a fiery streak towards the creature.
Surprise round for creature. Bernard on the northern platform, the rest of the group is on the southern, Ramious is in between, geysers recently erupted but one is about to fire again.
Round 6
Everyone's turn. Initiative order:
Leon (20) - Monster (20) - Alyssa (13) - Ramious (13) - Bernard (6) --- Southern Geyser erupts!
Leon hit the creature with MM. Monster tried to shove Bernard again (hopelessly) and bit him (successfully) for 3HP damage. Alyssa sent the firebolt, hitting creature good. Ramious made a beautiful kulbit midair and dashed back to Bernard, flapping near the edge of the platform. Bernard tried to shove the creature back where it came from.
Monster Str check: 1919
It felt to Bernard as if punching a rock, but his strength and determination overcame the creature's defenses and it was sent tumbling back into the darkness, immediately disappearing from the view.
Southern Geyser erupted for a moment hiding the platforms form each other and covering the disks with the new layer of hot mud.
Round 7
Leon (20) - Monster (20) - Alyssa (13) - Ramious (13) - Bernard (6)
Leon decides to join the battle and jump all the way through - a very risky endeavor with asynchronous geysers. The jump was enormous and incredibly precise, considering distance, but the slippery disk suspended on the chain is not something you can easily land on (DC 15). Leon's leg slid while he tried to catch the chain.
Wave did not get to save Leon, not this time at least - githyanki caught his balance on the slippery disk and readied next jump.
Meanwhile, the monster did not went too far. With the fanatical determination, it returned, and not alone - two swarms of miniature creatures - bats, as Bernard and Ramious could tell - followed it outside from the darkness.
Bats Initiative: 103
While the monster was set on finishing off Bernard, the bats attacked Ramious from both sides:
Bugs looks over the edge and into the boiling muck, then across the swinging platforms. "Do we want to piss him off and all just fly across?"
Ramious looks to the group, "Very well. I'll take you first Bugs. With my hands full I won't be doin much but flyin. If those things show up, it'll be a race."
Ramious tries to pick him up. Assuming he'll be able to fly with him, he grabs him in a bear hug and unfolds his large wings, and leaps off the edge, flying up towards the ceiling awkwardly and staying to the right side of the room as he attempts to fly him across to the far side.
