Stitch now healed back up, but the heart-shaped button remained on the outside of his skin.  Alistair however remained in his shadow realm form.  He simply hovered in the air.

"It would seem that we should be on our guard.  The egg is meant to protect her, but if its from us or another attack, we are not sure.  Stitch, don't attack."

Stitch took his pitchfork at hand.

"We can't be playing a waiting game sir.  If this battle is to progress, this barrier must be attacked.  You do as you see best, but an assassin without clear line of a target is useless."

Stitch

Attack: Needle stab

Effect: using the thousands of needles that come out of his back, the ragdoll now rapidly stabs at the barrier, determined to break it.

Alistair simply away from his conjuration and placed his hand on his bandages.  He rubbed it a little and then had his rings light up.

Alistair

Defense: Shadow orb

Effect: A field of solidified shadows forms around the caster, protecting him from an attack.
