While I do see your points and value them, this is more interesting than having two more updates about how you kick the shit out of the bat/it flies away when everyone shows up. Which you can/which it will, it's not that tough. Plus, this gives character motivation to maybe like each other less. Black may have hard feelings and blame Zar, and Zar may try to over compensate. It's more interesting.
Other than that, those are just the rolls I got and I'm going to pull through with them. Take the bad and turn it into good roleplay fuel!
