Merrill gasps as Garahel leaps in front of her (good dog, you are getting so many treats later), even as stone leaps up around her. It covers her limbs, her torso; it's armor of stone, steady as long as Merrill doesn't move. She follows it with a Crushing Prison to try and stop one of the many wraiths advancing, leaving it frozen in place as it tries to strike Six.

The wraiths don't seem to know what to make of Jester's weapon - is it food? Can they eat it? They can certainly eat the rest of them, though; one follows Garahel, stone claws reaching out to try and grab the faster dog. The others invest themselves in the front line fighters, snarling as they're hit and wildly swinging back. They're strong, but they're single-minded; tactics aren't their strong suit, and they're easily distracted by those in the way instead of the squishier people in the back.
