Kaliban strikes at the Meenlock with his rapier as it approaches. Falling racks from the collapsing ceiling strike at his arm and throw off the blade. The gnome continues to escape the collapsing room moving past the meenlock and in the direction his companions fled.

Argenti rubs her amulet and says a prayer to Geb for luck, then hurls a glowing green rock. "HYAH!"
The rock weaves it's way between the falling dirt and stone, making it clear across the crumbling cave, but past the intended target. The rock collides with the back wall, and magically ricochets into the back of the meanlock's head!
The genasi beams a huge smile. "Aurumamma would be proud of that one!"

Kaliban half-heartedly struck at the meenlock, and then made to run away. The meenlock bashed him with a heavy blow from its pincer before being struck by a stone from Argenti, far away though she was, and through so much pouring dirt and rock.

From the relative safety of the new tunnel, Ethian tries to direct the magical floating sword to strike at the remaining meenlock but cannot sit it properly and misses

Crock Jon catches up to Argenti and Ethian, shielding them if he can from any falling debris.

Ethian could no longer make out the position of his spirit weapon through all the falling dirt and rock, through which a very dirty Crock Jon came trudging, joining the elf and Argenti in the western tunnel that had been hidden under the tree's roots.
Under the temporary shelter of Cairn, Hawthorne looked to the tunnel leading upward, where they had come in. Kaliban was escaping that way, but a meenlock blocked his path, and it looked at him with its strange eyes and twitched its antennae and he felt his body go numb.

Hawthorne's gaze catches the meenlock in his way and he feels a sudden bout of fear at this creature trying to stop him. However, being at the side of the earth elemental gives him a boost of confidence and he strides forward past the fey creature heading to the cavern pathway out of the collapsing chamber. "Let's get out of here, Cairn!" he shouts above the din.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Cairn was already subjected to the effect earlier. And seeing this pathetic creature dusty and now hit by his boss...it holds no more fear for him.
@FitzTheRuke check the last post of the previous page...if there is another round I missed, sorry

Rock and dirt continued to fall into what had once been a large chamber. The two groups became fully cut off from one another. Suddenly, the meenlock, who had escaped into the tunnel not far from Cairn, slipped into the shadows of the hanging moss and disappeared.
Hawthorne and Kaliban climbed up the upward-sloping tunnel until they came to that damp, pit-like crossroards that they had discovered earlier, where Hawthorne had become so soiled while boosting the gnome to the other passage. They were faced with repeating the task - the most likely way to reach the others, now that the chamber had all but fully collapsed. At least this time, Cairn was there to aid them. Perhaps he could stand in the middle of the depression and use his body for a bridge.

Argenti dusts herself off.
"Ethian, Crock Jon, shall we head off?"

“Yes, let’s see if we can rejoin the others”.
"Let me help move the debris, suh."

Crock Jon brushed off Ethian, though he himself was more dirty, and Argenti led the way down the tunnel. The moss was as thick as ever but they came to a branching path. One led upward to the north, and the other downward to the west. The western tunnel widened as moisture leached through the ceiling above, forming fat droplets that fell into pools of dark water. A sharp scent of minerals filled the air and mixed with the earthy smell of the moss. The sound of the dripping didn’t echo, but was immediately dulled by the moss-carpeted surfaces.
"Muh direction's not good, but I think we're more likely tuh find the others if we head up here," says Crock Jon, pointint at the passage pointing north.

"That seems right." Argenti muses. After a pause, she continues. "I bet there are more of those bugs in that room to the west, they might try to follow us if we avoid them, what should we do about it?"
"If you want, I can stay at the back and keep an eye out."

Ethian nods his agreement and proceeds upwards to the north.
