Struggle

Yulia is in a slight panic, she can't see what's going on, all she knows is Goma and possibly the others are in trouble and the screech of the Leather Wings as they descend towards her, but she hears the voices and puts her trust in them. She tosses a grenade which explodes in a shower of fire, which momentarily lights the area and makes the Leather Wings recoil. At this point she turns and begins to run towards where Goma's scream came from. The Leather Wings, however attack first. She gets hit in the back by one, it's clawed feet, raking at her back and knocking her to the ground. She lands face down on the uneven ground, but quickly turns onto her back and hits herself with an energize before swinging her staff wildly in the air as she stands back up, trying to knock away any attackers. Her blind swings, even empowered don't help much, however and one swing she feels something grab the staff and yank on it, but her increased strength from Energize let's her pull it back and she gives up and continues to run, waving the silver staff behind her as she runs, eventually reaching Isalia, Cherchiel and Goma.

Meanwhile Isalia, Cherchiel and Goma are struggling as well. Cherchiel charges the bat holding Goma as Isalia at first intends to help, before she hears more attacking and turns her attention to them. Doing her best to ward them off and protect Cherchiel. Cherchiel tries to hit the Leather Wing, but she can't see it and it easily dodges as it tries to drag the struggling Goblin up the wall away from her friends.

Isalia is doing her best to hold off the attackers, but alone she's struggling against four attackers at once. Already one had gotten past her slashes and almost wrenched the shield from her arms, her shoulder stinging with pain as it had been wrenched along with it. She had recovered from that, but she wouldn't last much longer. Out of desperation she changes her tact and turns away from the attackers to instead direct Cherchiel. This proves fruitful. Isalia soon gets knocked to the ground and struggles with a Leather Wing trying to grapple her, but her directions were enough to let Cherchiel toss a grenade and hit the Leather Wing holding Goma, forcing it to let go and with Goma back, Cherchiel can help Isalia. Goma sounds the horn powering up all of them and then helps direct Cherchiel who manages to knock away the Leather Wing assaulting Isalia and together they manage to make quick work of the rest the same as last time.

The Leather Wings are dead or have retreated as Yulia rejoins with the group, bringing the two that were following her with. She ducks behind Cherchiel and Isalia as they close ranks with their shields and Yulia casts Energize on both of them, letting them easily deal with the following two.

Unfortunately the explosions and the sound of the horns has riled the rest of the Leather Wings and they are all preparing to attack. If they don't flee now, they likely will have to fight the entire cave worth of Leather Wings. Of course if they retreat, they won't necessarily be able to grab all the Leather Wings, they'd probably have to leave most of them behind and it would probably not be a good idea to come back.
