I'm sure you could make it before too long. I just suggested you head there instead of facing Rtron's villain simply because I created the demon on your behalf. You'd get there just in time for an epic save... I think. Honestly I'm not exactly involved in that business aside from placing the demon there, so you may need to consult with Fallen to get the timing down.

Indeed, Althalus could possibly buy enough time to allow Alaira to get there either by teleport rune or her own power. However the damage results for Mar will likely depend on a few things:

A) How quickly Althalus reacts to separate Mar, in the collab, from the creature's grasp. 
b) How soon Alaira gets there, longer time then more damage.

My suggestion is for stalling the demon would be trying to have Althalus keep it occupied with his magic/runes. I don't know if Sam's runes will be enough to kill the demon, so you may want to save them for when the demon is weaken. Althalus can damage/distract it with Decay magic if he is capable of it. While it won't kill the demon due to it's own natural regeneration, it will keep it focused on Athalus. Do good, but don't do great. Play keep away, make it look like Althalus is on the rope, make him an easy kill. Of course this isn't the case, but it'll buy you time for Alaria to make an appearance. After that, teamwork, teamwork, and it'll be dead. And than you may want to figure out what to do with the other demons around the infirmary.

Likely only half as strong as normal magic at an intermediate level, though he could crank out enough for low advance. Doing that will end up breaking it after 3 usages though and make that rune useless. Currently Althalus has Lyn, but with Mar in its grasp and not doing well, it's unlikely it will get after Lyn right now until Mar's devoured. Though we might be able to push him back into the main room for more leg room.
