Everyone was hopping over him into the kitchen. There was some fucking singing going on, then Merri showed up and it sounded like he was attempting to set the doll on fire. His hand shot up to grab the other mage's leg to get his attention.
Had these idiots not been listening? "Where the hell is the salt water?" Sure they could probably just set it on fire, but he wanted to make sure it was taken care of properly. Things had rules for a reason. His foot was still throbbing as were various parts of his body as he attempted to get to his feet. Audrey was dangling in the air and he didn't see the flask on the counter anywhere. He knew it definitely worked from when he spit his own water on it. At least, it had stunned the doll for a little while.
"Help distract it, but don't set it on fire yet," he instructed the councilman.
Picking himself up, he made for Audrey. Ignoring the fact that she was suspended, he tried to search her for the flask. He'd never been through her things before, but kind of didn't give a fuck that he was invading her privacy. This thing was powerful and evil, and it fucking stabbed him. It was going down.
Victory!
His fingers found the warm metal as he pulled it out and immediately put it to his mouth to make sure it was indeed the salt water. He sputtered at the flavor not having truly prepared himself. After the confirmation, he crossed the distance between Audrey and the doll, hoping the bards and Merri had sufficiently bogged it down, before pouring the contents of the flask on it. "I WIN!" A moment later he added, "EVERYONE YELL 'I WIN!'"
