Crystice kept a close eye on the battle and everyone participating as to remain on top of things. Seeing Dreggory fall so close to death, Crystice immediately began shouting orders, "Yalniai! Step up and take Dreggory's place! Guillermo, help Dreggory get to safely!" Crystice then turned to her sister, "I need you to go and heal Dreggory after Guillermo brings him back, alright?" Emmra nodded her confirmation, "Ok, sister!" Crystice turned her attention back to the front of the battle, realizing an immediate and high priority swap of Dreggory was the best call when she saw the last Guard moving in to replace the Knight.
Crystice focused again on attacking the Fairy, but she only had the chance to launch a single Ice Shard at her before the Freeze Spell broke. Crystice was alarmed that the Fairy had been freed, knowing what kind of damage Fairies could perform, but then she saw the Fairy simply collapse to the floor. Crystice let out a sigh. She wasn't dead, but had fallen unconscious from all of the attacks thrown at her. She doubted it to be a pleasant way to go, losing consciousness while being so completely vulnerable in a Freeze spell.
It wasn't long after Dreggory was taken away that another issue rose up. Nalina's fighting capabilities seemed to falter heavily when she got an arrow in her shield arm. It wasn't hurting her too much, but it effectively disabled her unless she wanted to risk the arrow dealing more damage. Crystice gave forth another command, "Nalina, withdraw! Guillermo, take her place!" Crystice knew that the Human Archer had been eyeing Nalina, and that this would be her chance to get a shot on her to deal more severe harm. Unfortunately for her, this "chance" wasn't hers to take, for in actuality, it was Crystice's opportunity.
As they commenced the swap, Crystice began casting forth a more powerful Ice Spell, one stronger than any of her others. Although the spell was strong, it lacked in range. However, with the Archers' positions, she should be able to get both of them. Just before the Archer could get her shot at Nalina, Crystice cast her spell, directing it right between the two Archers. The area seemed to shake a bit as a loud breaking and chipping of the earth was heard. Above them, the ceiling began to cave-in, letting large chunks of ice crash down upon them. They looked up just in time to see the ice slam into them, impacting the female archers so horribly that they fell unconscious with bloodied faces. Several more chunks of ice fell on top of them, burying them underneath it slightly.
With the Archer problem out of the way, Crystice glanced back towards Malefric and the Salamanders. Neither of them were doing anything useful. There was no longer a reason to stand guard. Crystice began passing whispers over to them, "Tedworthy, Ecthelion, go and fight the Orc and Bile Demon! Malefric, go around the Barricades and help Guillermo by flanking that Guard from the rear!" Crystice then turned her attention to the last two Creatures that weren't doing anything productive, "Scourge and Trouse, go and help battle the Orc and Bile Demon!" That made nine Creatures who were going to attack the Bile Demon and Orc, with one of them being Suria. It didn't seem like there was anything worth worrying about on that end.
"Almeron, Paste..." Crystice whispered quickly, "Let's focus on these two Guards! Keep them focused on us so Malefric can get them from behind!" She didn't bother asking Zelniana, for she was already busy helping Yalniai with one of the Guards. Everything was going very smoothly. They should have this room cleared up soon. Crystice began focusing primarily on Gerold, launching Ice Shards and Missiles at him. She spared a few Missiles here and there for Donald. She wondered if she'd be able to get one of them with Freeze.

Emmra wasn't at all happy having to watch the Demon Spawn, Suria. She knew she was the only one to save the Demon Spawn if she got into trouble, but Emmra was not at all fond of seeing Suria fight so ruthlessly. Still, Crystice was counting on her to watch out for the Demon Spawn. She had to do it. However, there was very little she could actually do. The Demon Spawn had both Protect and Speed Magic active, so all she could really do is Heal her. Emmra was having a lot of difficulty keeping track of Suria with the way she moved. In the end, Crystice gave her another task and Emmra wasn't able to do anything for Suria.
When Dreggory was brought over to her with the help of Guillermo, Emmra gasped at his wounds. Even if she succeeded in performing a Perfect and Consecutive Heal, it wouldn't do him much good. She would probably just faint from the effort to perform such powerful magic like she did before. She would have to perform a slower and more gradual healing process to help him without over-straining herself. "L-Lie down here so that I can Heal you," Emmra told him in a soft voice. She put her hands upon his wound as she slowly began calling forth her Healing Magic.
OOC (Consider Dreggory to have gained 10% by now, considering how long it's been since Dreggory was brought over to Emmra, timeline wise. For every post after this one, +5% Health for Dreggory)
