Actually, I would recommend that Claire use a Vulnerary...and despite the fact that it exposes him to danger, Edmund should probably move into the spot next to Claire and also use one.<br/><br/>Claire isn't capable of taking on either the Mage or the Mercenary by himself (and Edmund is out of range of any enemy, stuck in the back corner, there) and the Mage especially has the capacity to dish out some hurt on Claire.  What's more, Claire moving would expose Alice to the Mercenary.<br/><br/>From where I stand, the fact of the matter is that the combination of enemies on the eastern side is such that the group is going to need the reinforcements coming in from the back - which will take at least 2 more turns to get there - to resolve the situation.<br/><br/>Alternately, after Miranda goes, Edmund could move into the spot occupied by the fallen west front Mage and use his attack to hit the full HP Fighter.<br/><br/>Or, Edmund could move past Claire into the alcove and hit the Mage, and then Claire could follow up with his own attack - it'll leave Alice exposed to the Mercenary, though...but if Edmund (who has Weapon Triangle advantage) and Claire both hit, it'll mean that the Mage goes down.
