The sphere failed the first time. And I was so ready for her to come back close enough for me to stab her with Mythcarver, I didn't have any of my components ready when she blinked back just out of range. And I couldn't distract her enough to lessen the blow that put you back down so that she could finish you off. Everything I did... Everything I tried. It wasn't enough. And nobody else could do anything because our focus was so divided with Kynan and Keyleth going down repeatedly as well.
I tried. I tried, and the only thing I could do was too little, too late.
