A song starts, filling the clearing with amazing clarity and strength, inspiring all allies who hear it. It bolsters Merrill's sleep spell, knocking out four of the five wraiths and four of the seven horrors, stopping them where they stand. It means an arrow fired somewhat offhand hits its target, another horror, that Kain's whirlwind of blades ends the life of that horror as well as eliminating a shade. Cole's dagger finishes a second horror, and the flash of Maria's blade injures two shades.
The minor demons don't take their losses lying down, though. The last conscious wraith fires a weakened projectile at Leliana from the side, striking her as it moves toward her, while a gibbering horror doesn't take kindly the deaths of its fellows and sends a weakened stun at Kain. Merrill's shouting draws more than one set of eyes, but it's the lesser shade that sends something first - a weakness spell that's the strongest demon attack yet.
Vengeance is looking at her as well. It's fully aware of what Nate is doing, but it has time. The archer cannot get far.
"A pity you did not show so much concern for your Keeper or clan." Its voice is rough, growly, words a little slurred due to a new mouth shape. "They will have their revenge today." It slams the ground in her direction before taking a step back... and teleporting to Nate's position.
"And I will have mine. Where do you think you can go, where vengeance will not find you? Is he heavier than the burden of guilt you should bear? You suggested I join with a living person. When they came to murder him, you were not there. I was. He would be dead if not for me, and now you seek my death. I will not be the sacrifice for your betrayal."
