While that worked great in the last two cases, the intent was to distract the enemy servant so that Archer could shoot them in the back, while at this particular juncture we have Caster's full attention.

It still might be worth trying, just to catch them off-guard. I don't think Lily's given any out-loud hint she has a clue who Caster really is.

I don't think it'll be useful (yet), but feel free to put in the command yourself.

Well, if you don't think it's worth trying at this moment, then I'd rather not waste it right now. It'd be better to save such a surprise agitation for a more useful time.

I just think Caster's most likely response to pissing him off while he's in the middle of killing us is killing us faster.

Also, just to make things clear, I'm not in charge here! You don't need my permission to do things.

>You keep flopping, it's not particularly comfortable, but you suppose it works to keep you from falling inside. You also get some sand in your mouth while shouting at Georgia. You also hear some activity behind you, around where Caster should be.

>You flop a few more times, and make it onto something like solid ground. It will take a bit more effort to drag yourself onto decent enough footing to stand.
>Glancing back, it seems Archer has given up on her bow for the time being, and is going after Caster with her daggers. Caster is doing a fairly good job of holding her off, even periodically jabbing at her with the body of his guitar, somehow still managing to keep up his music in the process.

>It takes some work, but you manage to stand. It seems a bit sandy sinkhole opened up near you, and quickly collapsed into a kind of antlion-like pit.

>Archer steps back, you think she's trying to guard her face with her left arm, without taking it entirely out of the action. She lunges with her right; Caster sidesteps and suddenly shifts his grip on his guitar, holding it by the neck and swinging it right into her sides. You can practically feel the instrument slam into her and send her staggering back a few steps, the guitar smashing into several pieces. Caster drops the ruined instrument without missing a beat, stepping back and dropping the mangled guitar and bringing his hands together. Then he spreads them with a quick gesture and conjures another guitar, resuming the song fading from the air without missing a beat.
