Both bolts hit Ludmilla. You hear her curse under her breath. "Strahd, my lord, I need... I need help." Strahd's reply is gentle, yet authoritative. "Sorry, my dear. There are more things I have to consider. You have permission to retreat, but that is all." Ludmilla seems almost scared, but she holds back any retort.

"Leaving so soon, Ludmilla?" Kess calls with feigned disappointment. "You can enter the church, can't you? It's a nice place to take a rest. We won't harm you if you don't cast anymore nasty spells. If you try to retreat, however...It'll be hard for me to resist finishing you off, to be honest."
You hear footsteps, suggesting that the invisible priest moved again.
Strahd's voice rings out once more, and you can almost hear a smirk in it this time. "Ludmilla, take their offer." Her shaky voice replies, "Y-yes, my lord." Then he casts ray of frost on Ismirk.
((how many of the enemies are still mostly grouped up that just rushed in? Would they get smacked pretty hard by a Flaming Sphere? Sorry to ask but not sure were everyone is so trying to see if I can get that off without it hitting any allies. I know I don't know where Lucian is at but taking a guess he's not in the range where I want to drop it at))
Ada nods her thanks as Razz's warm healing light washes over her body, knitting closed the wounds left by the wolves. Those same wolves seem hellbent on making Ismirk their next meal so she stands next to him, hoping to draw the creatures' attention back to her. Ismirk isn't looking so good so Ada reaches out and touches him and more healing light emanates from her hand this time.
Not trusting Ludmilla to stay impartial, and seeing a potential blow to Strahd, Garrick doesn’t relent, and still targets her despite her entering the church.
The first bolt misses, but the second hits her right in the side. "Ah! I- you... murderer...." She collapses. Strahd gives an exasperated sigh. "Has anyone told you you're no fun?"
Four cultists run in.
Garrick's turn.

Razz peeks from behind the pews, watching the wolves and cultists shove their way inside with a dramatic flutter of wings.
"Oh, rushing the church now? That’s cute."
He gestures lazily, a gleam in his eyes. "Here—since you’re so eager, let me help speed things along."
A sphere of flame erupts among them with a fiery roar, licking at their heels like it’s just as eager to join the fray.
Then he glances over at Ada, flicking a few motes of golden light toward her.
"Little boost for the holy hammer—don’t say I never gave you anything."
