"I hate to add more bad news, but the Slow spell doesn't last very long, either!", Megaera noted.
... Damn it, that mouth was enough to kill normal people. Even with her regeneration, something she didn't want to reveal to basically half the Bastion if she could avoid it. But if it was the only way to make sure someone wasn't killed here...
She didn't know how strong this thing's mouth was, either. That certainly didn't help - if it was strong enough, even with the regneration the strike could still kill her. That was, in a word, very bad.
This was what lacking information did to a wizard. She was lucky she'd had Slow prepared. She needed something stronger, though. Her best remaining spell was the counterpart of Slow, Haste, but that only worked for about half a minute - if this thing was tough enough, it wouldn't help much. If they could get it bleeding, though, that'd slow it down enough that... Yes, it was her best bet after all.
"Hold it down if you can. Everyone else... Hand up if you want thirty seconds of everything moving a fair bit slower for you!", Megaera declared, keeping her sword sheathed and raising her hands, quickly looking around. "I can get five people, melee first!"
Hold the cast just long enough for people to process what she said. Then, she'd cast it, and the half-minute would begin.
Wizards were supposed to solve situations, not just provide a useful aid, damn it... But it was her best bet.
