A shield of sorts forms, but it is only partially effective. It stops the creature's advance on the Bard, but it then turns its attention to Micheal. A cold creeps into his bones as the being directs a negative energy at him. But the Warlock's will is too strong and the attack is rebuffed. Nac'Losin extends a blessing and that further reduces the cold draining feel of the attack. Willum's voice never wavers. The marines switch tactics and shower the deck with holy water. Much of it freezes as it comes in contact with the creature, but an unearthly wail attests to its effectiveness.
