Tabitha along with the rest of her company were being pushed back, even after she had sent a wave of Positive Energy through the enemy ranks. Their numbers were thinned, but it was not going to be enough to buy the time Caeldon needed by itself. Tabitha however had one more trick up her sleeve, as she started to channel her Divine Bond with Iomedae and made her sword glow with holy energy. This was not merely for effect as she raised her weapon above her head as almost a call to arms for her allies to rally around her.<br/><br/>With her illuminated sword held high, Tabitha would call forth her own strength and cast a Bless upon everyone who was within 50 feet of her. As they were being backed up toward the Sihedron at this point, this would affect just about all of her allies along with herself. Tabitha just needed to buy more time, she just needed to survive a few minutes longer. If this did not help turn the tide of the battle in her favor then there would be nothing left that she had in her bag of tricks.<br/><br/>Would she need to find herself an opening and attempt to destroy the Sihedron herself? It would be ideal to simply defeat Xin and confiscate the artifact so that it would never be used for an evil purpose again. Tabitha knew that she needed to do what needed to be done to survive, she had survived far too many battles to be bested by a simple mob of unholy worshippers. Their sheer numbers however were causing them to constantly retreat and this was unfamiliar territory for Tabitha. Though her Pride as a Paladin would never allow her to admit defeat, this was starting to look like an unwinnable battle unless the Sihedron could be seized or if necessary destroyed.
