Swamped

If you hadn't stepped in, the wizard would probably have gone off with the coins, or whatever things this beast is created from. He could have formed it at any time.

Maybe given it orders.

Perhaps it's not particularly picky about who it takes orders from? Someone afraid to speak would be the safest delivery agent, in that case. Not likely to wake it up - perhaps something Ash said got it moving.

So before anything else, you try talking to it.

"Smash the lock on the cell door," you tell it.

At first, you think it's not responding. Then, suddenly the spider-thing walks around for a while. You're not sure what it's doing.

Then it seems to stop in front of the cell. Maybe it's just finding its bearings?

All of a sudden, it rears up and jumps at the lock. The force knocks the door over, then the creature stops and separates back into "coins". Maybe the anti-magic effects of the cage are impacting it. Whatever the case, though, you can get Marshall and Long out now, so you step towards the cell.

But you don't get another step in before a slicer flies right past you. You take a step back to avoid the return, and glance at the door.

Carma has arrived, and she doesn't look happy.

You don't trust Ash to side with you over her, the kid probably won't either, Marshall's not in great shape, Long's unconscious, the coin-creature's collapsed in a pile on the floor, and the mystery wizard is paralyzed. So whatever happens now is up to you.

How do you handle this?
