We are almost always happy - but with nearly eighty people, there's always someone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

This is precisely how the Bat attacks in my opinion. Those at Runegate who sheltered below the Luck Gate were just phenomenally lucky. No other reason why they survived.

There are enough Colymar present at Whitewall that there is presumably a survivor or two. And some witnesses (you could see it from the Starfire Ridge). I imagine that the Colymar (unless there are other players who fill the role) get to be the default Bat-Experts.
