This clearing has definitely seen better days. Two small cyclones spring forth from Kain, ripping loose leaves from trees, pebbles from the ground, and slamming into a lesser shade each, knocking the things back and staggering them. One of the staggered shades stumbles back to Leliana, promptly takes two punches to the face, and as the knife stabs in it disintegrates.

Not too far from her are Cole and Adelaide, taking on one of the rage demons as it crackles and swings. It manages to fling a minor burst of flames at Cole before it's frozen by Adelaide's ice spear in mid-reach for the mage. The flash of Cole's blades hit it just right, shattering it into pieces. A wraith takes its chance as they're distracted by the shattering Rage demon, firing a moderate drain life spell at Adelaide.

Vines sprout up, directed from Velanna, striking all five wraiths and a lesser shade. The Shade retaliates with a moderately strong Horror spell, hoping to give itself enough time to break free. Merrill casts sleep near Velanna, knocking out ten of the demons - all five wraiths, all five lesser shades - and safely reaches Bethany's side.

Vengeance watches her go and shakes its head. The source. She would know about sources. Nathaniel's arrow strikes the side of his throat, mostly glancing off, and the demon looks between the archer and the blood mage before striding forward, into the heart of the fray, and raising another barrier around itself.

"For once you call it true. Demons, and not spirits." For years she'd attempted to provoke him, apparently pretending ignorance. Her whole survival technique was pretending ignorance. "Most of you could go now. You could leave, and Vengeance will only have what is due. Three, out of all of you."

Vengeance raises a hand and sends a severe blast of fire in Merrill's direction. "Surely they are not worth all of you dying. Anders, Merrill, and Nathaniel. Let me have them, and the rest of you may go." As if to emphasize its point, Vengeance sends a minor burst of force magic at the ground Kain's standing on.
