"Gotcha! Farny, do that invisible thing!" Puck instructs her to turn the carriage invisible as you dismounted from your horse, leading the two other equines into the burning forest!
"There he is!" The apostles find Gunpowder running around their horde, mistaking the rustling of leaves behind him as shockwaves from his previously shown speed.
"Wait! The Impaler is not on the mount!"
"Where ate the others, then? They should be around here somewhere!"
"Can't you smell them?!"
"The only thing we can smell here is fire! How can we find them when we can't even--"
Several bombs and marbles were thrown by Isidro and Hyde, with Serpico fanning the flames to the apostles as they were engulfed in friendly fire before they could figure out what struck them.
"They can't see us! Our time is now!" Puck mocks the enemy forces while Isidro gives them an invisible middle finger.
The entity will probably be able to see them, but should they remain invisible with Farnese's magic, they shall not be harmed by other apostles.

"Mission accomplished! The witch is dead! Let's regroup back with our leader!"
"Not yet! I have just found two tight little playthings to take home..." The apostle licks its gigantic mouth over it's vertical mouth.
It's best not to think of what it'll do if it gets it's hands on you and Schierke.
Speaking of the little witch, there is her astral soul, slowly inching closer to her body. It seems her mission is also accomplished, all you need to do is buy her a few seconds.
Or... you could show this child eating monster a thing or two.
>Freeze the apostle from the inside out with the liquids inside his body.>Wait for him to get close and aim at his mouth-limbs.>Throw a magic seed and feed him some wood.>Fire a soul arrow to pierce it's stomach.>Wait for Schierke to return to her body and make a run for it with her on your back.>Something else.
