She knew when to cut her losses and jumped back just far enough to avoid getting gored from one side of her waist to the other.  Thankfully reinforcements showed up to help her, but then things got more interesting than ever when the source of their trouble revealed itself.  She couldn't believe what she was seeing.  It was little wonder these creatures were pushing forward so hard as they were.  "You bastard!"  Giselle's brown eyes flared with renewed fire as she again had to dodge another attack, this one in the form of a lightning based spell, before she was able to throw several magic missile clusters in every direction, slowing down if not outright stopping the Machae that were chasing Zame and harassing the other warriors in the general area.  Seeing Isabel was in trouble, the half Drow opened a dimensional door right behind the woman, stuck her hand through her own portal, and pulled the girl through so that she didn't end up getting struck by the spell the behemoth had thrown her way.  "You ok?"  Regardless of the answer, Giselle felt the strain her actions had taken on her and felt sweat starting to pour off of her body.  She still had enough to fight however, and turned her gaze towards the machina that was giving them so much trouble.  "Ignore the rest!  Take out that machine and the rest should run!"  'I hope.'  Giselle thought to herself, needing a moment to catch her breath regardless.
