Ellis hauls himself quickly over the wall as Fitcher leaps back towards the creature. The spell is dwindling. Ellis can feel it stretching thing, flinches at the moment when it snaps and the ensuing roar. His fingers twitch towards the bit of iron, but he brings out the twig.
Unnecessary. It's all unnecessary, but it makes Ellis feel less indebted. A little buffer against the overwhelming flow of radiant power. He closes his fingers around the twig, looks down at the corpse where Bradshaw had fallen.
"Alright, let's have it," Ellis says, lifting his hand to his lips and blowing through the loose fist he'd made. A dusting of shimmering light flows forth, hovers and expands outwards in a circle. It's a dicey gamble. Ellis is hoping against hope that what they know is enough, and it—
It is. He feels the tug like a serrated hook in his gut. He takes off running back the way they came, towards the carriage. Just don't die, Fitcher. He'll be right back.
