[She hears it in his voice that he has a plan and isn't aimlessly going to attempt to outrun these things, but before she can do anything, another whose approach must have been masked by the sound of the others jumps out at them from behind and she has to split her focus to make another shield that shoves it a dozen feet away. It buys her time to turn the green tendrils on it and they take both creatures, slamming them together.
They might be able to take to the sky but if they run into one of those flying things, they aren't going to be much better off. The thought has barely passed when the rest reach them and whatever Laine's plan had been she can't reach him now as the wave hits. Tossing the first two into the rest, she changes the light into a long beam that she swings at a dozen, knocking them all over and keeping one of them down for good. It's not nearly enough.
Her eyes find Laine in the throng and she throws up a sphere around him even as she dodges a blade to her side. After using a makeshift wrecking ball to clear a path to Laine, she lowers his shield, unable to maintain so many constructs. They have seconds maybe, before they're swarmed again and her battery won't last forever.]
