1. Can one occupy the same space as a bat swarm or move through it?2. And I've forgotten the 5e rules for moving through friendly space.
3. Can Grizel and Alastor share space without her mounting?
2. you can move through an ally's space but not end your movement there (in both cases it's difficult terrain so takes double movement to move through it)
3. I rule that you can 'share' space with another creature if you really want to but both parties use the rules for squeezing (disadvantage on DEX saves, attacks rolls, advantage when being attacked). Normally you can't enter another creature's space is it needs that room to fight effectively
The rules aren't really that clear on it (if you're reading this, Crawford and Mearls, you suck at writing clear rulings!). Does moving straight through a medium creature cost an extra 5ft or 10ft? Large creature 10ft or 15ft? I'm not sure but I'd guess the latter number each time as you have to move into and out of the space. But moving into bats would cost 10ft, and moving into more bats from those bats would cost another 10ft or 20ft on a second diagonal
