Those beasts certainly packed a wallop. With one blow each both Kathryn and Blackberry were pretty seriously injured. If those two were going to continue battling them face to face, they'd need defensive support. Unfortunately the one spell of that nature she had at the ready would only help one of them. Looking between them, the dragonborn was obviously the most squishy of the two, so that would have to do. With a quick gesture, Marita pointed towards Baronfjord.

Marita's most pressing concern was to get those things away from the cages. If they could even only buy time for the captives this would be a much better situation. From the look of things, their current strategy wasn't going to cut it. The cleric grit her teeth. She would have preferred to save her voice for dealing with the likes of Cavendish, but this was the far more pressing scenario. She could only hope that these abominations wouldn't resist her attempt to Turn them. It was unfortunate that Morty was likely to be caught too, but she had tried to warn Victoria beforehand. Marita raised her shield high and commanded:

And to her surprise, the things didn't react. They hadn't fought off the effects of the turn, it just didn't affect them. What? So despite being puppets of flesh and blood imbued with a foul mockery of life, they weren't undead. Just what were these things and how could they hurt them? The one stab BB gave them seemed about as effective as all their previous blows, so it likely wasn't that. Marita quickly tried to rack her brain for anything that would stick out, and something did. Why did Cavendish set a fire to block off his position? If he were truly in a position of absolute superiority and safety, he would have kept his seat for the 'show.' He seemed able to command the things, but as a warlock, messing with things beyond his reckoning that he couldn't quite control was a likely trait. What if the fire was a way to protect his rotten neck? It was worth a shot.
