Jarrith nods, as this situation has been ever-present since they arrived in this valley. "I think our best situation for you, Tessa... is to join us up on the front-line. The faster we can take our threats out, the less opportunity for us to become critically injured."
He glances at the rest of the party. "I mean... other than the boy... the rest of us all can heal ourselves and have wands of healing if I'm not mistaken? And if one of us doesn't... they should probably run back upstairs and grab Daellin's from him. That way... we can each jump into melee to fight, or in Janis' case throw her massive energy rays... but then back out and heal ourselves as needed. Keeping you back outside of the fight Tessa will just end up depleting your spell energy, with only Ashlyn, myself and the boy taking the brunt of damage. You've got that nice weapon... I'd like to see you use it."
He stands up and stretches, then glances further into the caverns. "Well... shall we continue?"
