Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Dave took a breath. There were Shadows creeping at the edges of his awareness. Last time he'd been here, for the fight against Owen, he'd been fucked up to hell and back.
Best possible chance to wreck this fucking rock. Hone Claws, build up momentum, a first Rock Smash to weaken it, then go for a weak spot with the second. Something like that. He swiped his claws and charged.

Breaking up giant rocks wasn't really within her abilities here, so Grace kept an eye out for any void shadows. "Mm... it does feel a little different to be here and not worry about running into Owen, but... do we think Alexander might try and find another puppet...?"
She hoped not. What if someone else was forced to die when they stopped Alexander? How many victims had Alexander already taken...?

The rock was a lot less destructive and much cooler now. But with that came a certain brittleness, like it had been waiting to crumble.
It took some work. The first volley wasn't enough. However, Dave had clearly done enough to do damage--a few more times and he'd achieve it.
"Hmm... That could do. Though, Nova, we can try that strategy anyway to finish it off," she said.
The Void Shadows, as Grace watched them, noticed their movements, but didn't act on it. Perhaps they were merely... wandering.
"Alexander always found Owen to be a bit of a prize," Mhynt said to Grace. "But I doubt there's anybody in our group that he'd go out of his way to puppet. Not after we found a way to reverse it... And he likely doesn't have the time anymore to get any of us thoroughly. At least, that's why we're going so fast against him so he can't do it. I doubt Betel summoned anybody evil to accompany us."

"Let's finish this quickly, then," Mhynt said, touching Nova's flank. They vanished in a bzip of light, and then the Nova Meteor fell from the sky, smashing the weakened meteor into five big chunks. Mhynt landed almost gracefully nearby, save for a small stumble that she was certain nobody saw.
"Good work, you two," Mhynt said. "Now..."
The amount of miasma now that the meteor was destroyed... it was a lot bigger now. Noticeably thicker.
Slorshing, slimy noises caught Mhynt's attention. She quickly drew out her Leaf Blade. "Everyone!" she shouted.
The Void Shadows at the edges of the field were drawing near, all at once. But... they seemed unfocused on the Wayfarers, even if they were coming closer to their general area.

"Wait, hold on," Grace said, moving over to touch Mhynt's arm. "I don't think they're going to attack us. If they were... they would have done it earlier, right?"
With the miasma, Grace was preparing a tailwind to blow it away if it got too thick.
Still, it was odd, seeing the void shadows so calm. Without Owen and Alexander to control them, they didn't feel threatening.
Were they going to vanish, too?

Mhynt nearly glared at Grace, but had enough sense to take her advice and watch the Void Shadows cautiously. She stepped aside when they came closer, and indeed they didn't approach her.
Dave could smell the odd, bitter ichor of the Void Shadows, as well as a certain, abnormal dryness coming from the miasma. Which was strange; the miasma was more like a fog, so it'd be... water-based in a way, right? Yet it was dry as a desert or dust.
One of the Void Shadows bumped into Nova's hind leg before sliding past and into the miasma. Around the same time, he would have come across what seemed to be... a pit. The meteor had been blocking a deeper part of the quarry--or so it seemed. The climate on the other side of the pit felt different. A faint, reddish light source radiated within.
And the Void Shadows were hopping inside, disappearing into the fog.

"So, uh..." Nova picked his head back up. "Found a secret pit. Which could go deeper. Or, uh... to something else entirely?" He glanced between the pit and the others, who he was much bigger than. "Do we want to send one person down to check first or do we press on? I've got an Escape Orb... but that'd just eject us entirely."
