Bethany felt the weakness spell hit her - but it felt more like a ...really annoying tickle than something that was going to slow her down. She lifted her hand and blasted it with an Inferno's blast.

Merrill's cry pulled her attention across the room, where her friend was holding off demons with her staff. Her gaze narrowed as she flicked her eyes from Merrill, and where Nate and Leliana were trying to get Anders out of here.

Just as Vengeance appeared before Nathaniel and something went cold and very, very angry inside of her. Oh no you don't.

She swung her staff back, and pulled in her Force Spell to slam Vengeance with the Maker's Fury, yelling at Vengeance, "And he will not be the tool for your madness, spirit!"

Yes, she's trying to pull his attention away. She just hopes it works.
