James/Emily/Cian v. Bandercoeurl
Emily didn't want to be in the thick of all this, but there she was, and thankfully there were others around to attack the monsters. Sure, she had spells at her disposal that allowed her to defend herself, but in the end, she wasn't made for taking hits. She was trained as a white mage and then a black mage, not blue or red. So while her actions from here on might seem useful and well-received in one way or another, they were done to make sure that anyone who was there could stay alive and detract the attention away from her.
She maintained a distance as best she could, but stayed within a range to help Cian and the other man, she believed his name was James. Cian she knew from a previous meeting, though the two had not spoken since that one time. Well, perhaps she'd learn something useful about him other than he had an association with Cormac.
She cast Protect upon James and would do the same for Cian as well when she got the chance. Keeping them alive assured her own survival so she'd play white mage for them as needed if it saved her ass in the end.
