Inessa's lips form a thin, annoyed line as she notes what has happened, though it's at herself rather than Melys or Kain. She should have seen this coming, when the Veil is so thin in this location. If they aren't careful, all they'll end up doing is creating more rifts, and that's the last thing the Blackmarsh needs. (And them. She'd quite like to depart with everyone intact.)

Sending a Heal spell at Loghain, Inessa raises her voice afterward. Time to change their approach, since using the rifts to stun the demons is just creating more problems. "Take down the demons first! We'll attend to the rifts once they're gone!" There's always that moment of reprieve, when demons are defeated and rifts collapse in on themselves, waiting to be sealed. She's counting on it now.

Shades attempt to reach her and are quickly engulfed in her ice array, upon which she uses Veilstrike to knock them down. Garahel avoids getting too close to Myr's swarm, but he stands firm, ready to pounce whatever makes it past them, if anything.
