"well that and im kinda putting a lot more focus on the giant monster right now to ignore the fact that ive probably broken several things in my body and" Dave pauses. "well"

He lets out a sigh, sounding far more serious than he usually does. "...let's just say I've got a lot to think about now."

"anyway sorry about that nearly killing you thing now does anyone else want to hop on the kick a giant monsters nonexistent ass train" And then he goes back to normal, as if that sudden bout of proper grammar and capitalization didn't happen.

"Couldn't have apologized to me for crashing into me or anything...? Jolyne gets up with determination shining through her features...and also a good deal of irritation. "Yeah, I'm in. I was going to try and punch the hell out of someone, but giant monster takes priority."

"okay cool now we can start our first mission" Dave takes a deep breath, looks at the group, and lets it all out. "figuring out how the fuck we're going to get you all in the air"

The serpent does seem to be hurt by the magic blast - judging by the grunt of annoyance, anyway - but doesn't stop going after John.

And then a portal opens next to the witch. Huh, isn't that-

Then a large creature goes flying out of it from an unseen impact, letting out a bird-like screech as it does so. It lands right in front of the witch and lets out a snarl, looking right at the portal. The creature has a head like that of a bird of prey, covered entirely in red feathers that extend to the large wings sprouting from it's shoulders. However, the creature is a quadruped, with a good amount of its torso, the entirety of the hind legs, and tail being covered in black fur, with the hind legs being more cat-like than anything, and the front legs being more like a bird's talons if they were as red as blood. Topping it all off is a variety of battle scars, both old and fresh - of particular notice being a good deal of cuts all over the body leaking purplish blood, various bruises from something large ramming into it, and...a miniature anchor embedded into the thing's back. How the fuck.

Anyway, despite the odd coloring, it seems fairly clear that whatever this is, it's a griffon-

And it just breathed fire, letting loose a volley of flames through the portal. Well then.

"What trickery is this!? How can a portal to another-" A male voice on the other side of the portal begins to question, before being cut off by a more feminine voice.

"Shovel Knight! There are still more foes left for us to vanquish! We shall worry about the black Griffoth later!"

So that's where they went.

The Griffoth, as it is properly called, lets out another bird-like screech.
