Karen winces as Daxter and Kogeki attack each other verbally. She doesn't say anything about it, but she's very uncomfrotable with being this close to a disagreement between her teammates.
Marcus steps in and tries to break it up along with Pyra.

"Pyra's right. We don't have time to be fighting with each other right now. Less so because of whatever that that bat's up to, to be honest. Time works...strangely in Mystery Dungeons. Unless you're on the same floor as them, you can't be certain that someone's making progress at the same rate you are. What's more worrying...is that wind. We really shouldn't linger any longer than we have to. Yes, it's a mystery dungeon thing, Kee. Nobody knows quite why it happens, but that strange wind is liable to toss adventurers out of mystery dungeons if they stay on a single floor for too long. There's always two warnings before a third, powerful ghost blows through the dungeon corridors...we need to finish our business on this floor and keep moving, so let's get this tunnel open."
And so begins the grand plan to open the collapsed tunnel!
Daxter blasts the rocks with Bubble to loosen them! (Bubble Accuracy)
(6)(6)(4)(6)(2)
(1)
4 successes!
Daxter's attack is very effective at loosening the rocks, making them slick and damp.
Marcus tries to shove the larger rocks out of the way and create an opening, using his club to give the attempt some extra oomph! (Strength + Survival + Athletics)
(3)(3)(1)(2) 0 successes
"Hrrrrgh!" Marcus tries to push, but despite being rather competent in battle, he's not particularly Athletic, so he struggles to make much progress by himself.
Karen and Hoopa try to help Marcus out with their Confusion attacks! (Confusion Accuracy)
(3)(3)(2)(1)(1) 0 Successes
(1)(2)(1)(5)(5)(5) 2 successes
Karen's still getting adjusted to this surge of power, and she finds it difficult to control the output of her attacks' power. Hoopa manages to create a small opening in the rocks. "This is...harder than I was expecting..." "Guess I need to pick up the slack! What would you guys do without me?~"
Pyra looks for coal first at Daxter's suggestion... (Insight + Survival + Alert)
(5)(4) 2 successes
...and then she blasts a chunk of the damp rocks with no coal in it with her Ember! (Ember Accuracy, +1 from Alert check)
(6)(5)(4)(6)(3)(1)(6*) 5 successes!
Pyra's Ember glues some of the rocks that Marcus and the Psychic types are holding up, though it looks like they won't be able to keep this up for long. "Kogeki, Kee, go now! Quickly! Hoopa needs to stay here and help hold this up!" (Dexterity + Survival + Athletics)
(5)(4)(3) 2 successes
(4)(2)(2) 1 success
Kee makes it through the small opening with little trouble, but Kogeki, being a much larger pokemon by comparison, gets nicked by some of the rough rocks as he tries to squeeze through it. They both make it through, however, and find themselves on the opposite side of the chasm the team had encountered earlier, standing on what remains of the broken tracks.
The path ends there, but on their left, they see something very strange poking out of some of the rubble: a softly glowing, pink crystal of some kind. The glow is almost hypnotic in this dark cave lit only by dim firelight from torches...
"Kogeki, Kee, hurry! I don't think we can hold this open for much longer!"
The two of them nab the crystal and hightail it back to the rest of the team, making it back through the small opening just before Marcus has to drop the rock he was supporting. Karen drops her focus on the psychic energy she was Channeling, panting from the effort. Hoopa casually does the same, seeming to be no worse for wear by comparison to Marcus and Karen.
"Well, that was both harder and easier than I thought it would be. So, what'd you find? Treasure?"
Before anyone can respond, another gust of wind blows through the cave system, stronger than the last one. More ominous feeling. It shocks Marcus into catching his breath more quickly.

"That was the second warning! We need to move, now! Everyone ready for a fight? The stairs are just over there!"
Marcus steps in and tries to break it up along with Pyra.
