Cursing under his breath, he considered his options as Maura began to heal her sister, and decided that he could do with a bit of help. Taking a moment to cast a long, intricate spell, a large fire elemental appeared in front of him and he directed it to demolish the hydra, which could not move, nor attack the fire elemental without hurting itself, sort of like getting into an ass kicking contest with a hedgehog.<br/><br/>He watched his fire elemental wade into the hydra, and turned to Cerulean, trusting his elemental to hold the thing until it was dead, at very least. He looks at the others, and watches with a feeling of helplessness on his face, able to do nothing for Cerulean at the moment. He looks at the bard and says, "You can stop playing, and start shooting that damn thing with a bow or crossbow, if you have it."<br/><br/>Pulling out his own, masterwork light crossbow, he began to cock it, loading a bolt, and got ready to conserve spells.
