==> Cat: …oh shit.

The first rule he ever learned when fighting a large amount of enemies is to never stop moving. The moment one stops moving is when they have the chance to overwhelm you. Drake takes a moment to assess his allies’ abilities, comparative to his own. Cat seems to be able to deliver massive damage, but his attacks also can spread out widely if he’s using fire magic. Thervan’s is also pretty wide spread, while Drake’s are mostly single target focused.
The Knight rushes a few members of the horde, cutting into them before planting his foot firmly in one of the undead member’s faces, before jumping back. He lands back by Cat, bouncing back on his feet again before running forward. “Cat! Thervan! Concentrate your magic on the horde and try to cut down as many as you can! The less of them there are the less they can threaten the troops!” Drake ordered as he rolled to the side, barely dodging an attack by the Beast.
“Thervan! They aren’t using heavy necromancer type magic! Purification won’t work as well here! Focus on spells that either burn or use a lot of force instead!” The knight ordered with a military like bark. “I’ll focus on the Beast and take his attention!” He yelled again, before narrowly dodging a flail from one of the undead. He rolled over the creature, before grabbing it by the neck. He felt magic flow into his arm, increasing his strength, before throwing the poor bastard at the Beast, causing the minion to splat on impact. The knight flicked the jeweled hilt, before several blades began to float around his body. Lightning covered the blades before they shot at the beast, attempting to provoke him and get his attention.
Your nausea was beginning to rise again, your focus falling in comparison. Your field of flames which claimed at least ten of the undead buggers waivers, going out as you fall to one knee. Your breathing is already heavy, sweat collecting on your brow, and it takes you a few moments to even register that Drake had spoken. You feel as if you are in a haze, the large amount of undead befuddling your senses. You have not encountered such a large horde before, nor faced a creature with energy as foul as this one. It is overwhelming for you, since you made the mistake of not blocking it out at the beginning.
A pain blossoms in your left shoulder, the feeling dull at first. As the pain sharpens, your will to fight returns. A light builds on your skin, and your eyes glow bright. The undead soldier that has pierced your shoulder with his blade seems to realize his danger only to late. You release the built up energy in a small sphere of force around you, eviscerating the undead soilder, and flinging a small group of oncoming undead backwards. Your body keeps an aura of light, a shield you have employed before to protect yourself from unwanted energy. This time though, you know the moment the shield falls so will you. Even if you win before the spell runs out, you will not have enough energy to purify the battle field. “I will do my best, but we must act quickly. I will not be able to stay lucid for long without help”, you yell to Drake, and Cat.
