Cole, Bethany, Velanna... Vengeance looks around, taken aback. They were the ones it'd thought might see the reality of the situation, that it was needed in this world. It was no creature. It was seeking the end of injustice and what was wrong in this world. Surely that would be helpful, not reasons for fury and bitterness.
Not that there's much room for looking around with Leliana on his back, driving the dagger in repeatedly, causing more pain than it had felt in so long, weakening it and loosely holding it back. Isabela charges in, blades flashing, Cole joins her, and Vengeance realizes a lot of what's still powering it isn't strength, but rage. Kain's lance drives into its abdomen, deep, staggering it and it searches frantically for openings as Nate's blade sinks into its throat as well.
There might not be a way to win. Survival might not happen. It had tried so hard to make a difference, and it has been betrayed. Lightning strikes among its demons, pushing the gibbering horror back from Merrill, scattering others, striking Vengeance, and it flings a strong firebolt at her barrier.
Ice strikes a rage demon from Bethany, but Vengeance is unable to retaliate against her, held back by a weak flameburst and suddenly followed up with fireballs from Velanna. Vengeance breaks from Leliana's hold and slams the ground in Velanna's direction before changing its own path. Anders is weak. Surely after all of this work, if it can take Anders' body back, they won't kill them. Vengeance, too, is weakening, steps slow as it heads toward the two mages on the ground.
The other demons aren't as slowed. A horror demon flings Venom at Isabela, the rage demon struck and slowed by Bethany's ice casts a firebolt at Cole, and the terror demon vanishes into the earth to leap up from the ground underneath Nate and attack.
