The strange shielding is enough of a distraction that the Templar are almost unsure how to approach it even though Quentin is clearly pulling from the fade. The Captain will figure it out faster than the younger recruits that the shield should go down just as fast as any other as they dispel any fade from the area. For the time being though, they're approaching it as if it could explode in their faces at any moment and it gives the pair enough time to retreat.

It's simply instinct that has him laying a hand on Quentin's shoulder gently nudging him in the direction of their escape and eventually taking his elbow in a gentle yet firm grip as he pulls him along. Dorian is expecting the templar to follow them eventually so he lays out some traps for them in the form of ice runes which glow along the forest floor and then fade slightly. Just enough that they're hidden until someone comes along and triggers them. They don't have a long life, but it'll be long enough that it'll give Q and Dorian enough time to make distance.

Soon enough it won't matter. If they can just keep the pace they'll get to a small village nearby they can take refuge in. Once there they can catch their breath and get something heavy to drink at the local tavern. Dorian will be glad when he can buy them a room at the inn and call this day done.
