Kain doesn't have to be told twice to leave that rift alone. He doesn't even really know enough about the veil or any of it- he's no mage, and hasn't spent much time studying such things. But he can feel it, thanks to that shard in his hand, a disturbing feeling, as if the very sky is too flimsy to hold up. Trying to continually pull it back together isn't really helping much at the moment. Sure, his hand is still burning, the green glow wanting to react with those rifts... but he ignores it, in favor of the new plan for now.

"If you're sure that'll work!"

He's willing to try. Grimacing, Kain tries to keep his left, dominant hand's grip steady. It's no easy task with that shard, but what other choice do they have? Maybe with more demons gone, he can take a chance and try sealing those rifts again. If the veil is so delicate, perhaps it needs... a different touch somehow? Ugh, he really doesn't know enough about this to be sure...

For now, Kain shouts and goes charging at one of the nearest demons, heedless of it also coming at him head-on to attack. It's all about taking those demons down, no matter what it might take out of him. Already, he's using Ring of Pain to fuel him, his own blows getting stronger every time the demon strikes him.

Hero of River Dane or Traitor Teyrn--whether he's seen as one or the other, he'll wield his sword and shield the same either way. The healing spell invigorates him and closes the lacerations wrought upon him by the pride demon, and just in time; two more shades spill from the latest rift and lurch their way towards both Melys and Myr as they hold their own. Loghain assesses the rest of the party in a glance--Kain's powerful swings laying into a demon, Inessa competently engaging shades with the power from her staff--and then books it towards the pair. Myr's swarm hurls itself upon the approaching shades, slowing them down just enough for Loghain to catch up to them and drive his sword into them each in turn.

He sprays ice from his hands, still facing off with the pride demon that he's been dealing with all along, and dozens of shards slash their way through its throat, finally bringing it down. Anders whirls around to take measure of the rest of the combat, try to find weak spots... and slips on something in the mud, twisting his ankle and landing on his ass.

A muttered curseword or two later he's getting back up despite the pain and then he sees what it is. "The orb! Inessa, I've got the orb!" Quickly he casts ice around it, protecting it from the rest of what's going on just in case it's fragile. "We shut these down, shut the rifts out, and then we're done with this mess!"

That hopefully serves as a rallying cry. It's his best guess as to what might help.
