the team manage to fall through and once they hit solid ground again the party seems to be free from major harm for the most part outside of bruised and sore bones even if the VIP Joltik used Kaz as a softer landing spot. However not all of them seemed to be so lucky as a faint squawk caught the attention of the Chestnaught who rolled over and found their birdly knight under him with his feathers ruffled and sword and shield bent out of place. Still he managed to stand up but using his already busted shield as a crutch was evident enough that their firepower was going to be limited now.

It really didn't help that their only options were to either go forward into the unknown or climb back up and hoped the foes above them had passed on. Something in Kaz's mind told him that the tunnel might be the safer bet despite all common sense probably telling him otherwise. "Chestnaught, try to carry him. I'll hold onto Itty Bitty. He's gonna need whatever last drop he's got for the last leg of this. So your pulling double duty for us bud." Kaz explained in his own way as he patted the large grass knight who scooped up his ally into his arms as the party moved deeper into the tunnel and hoped for the best.
