"@#&5," Henry thought briefly as he saw how much health the mage had. Transformation and a curse certainly didn't add to his optimism.
I suggest the following:
Fay – cast Energy Barrier V on Nikta. Otherwise, she'll take a beating from the club-wielders, and we'll lose an important damage dealer. We won't skimp on safety. Position the barrier so that Nikta is in its upper-left corner.
Davalya – this is more complicated; I'm torn between Ice Spear V on the mage and Frost Nova V on the mage. I'm leaning towards the latter, because if he has restored (or increased) his health during the transformation, the chance of finishing him off in one turn decreases significantly.
An important question: what kind of curse is on Fay, Henry, and Lin? It could be:
- increased damage to them from all sources
- actions have a chance of failure
- they have become vulnerable to some kind of powerful spell
- one of the worst options: any damage will instantly kill (or, as an alternative, paralyze)
In any case, we won't know unless we try...
