Herod saw Alina move out of the confrence rrom. She needed to get to the other side. If they couldn't outflank him, then they had no hope....Herod had to distract or at least occupy most off Mr. Thatcher's attention on himself. Another idea hit him.

"Glacius!" he yelled. The floor inbetween himself and the mad inventor was frozen. The ice crept up to three feet from Mr. Thatcher. If the inventor moved, he would slip and fall.

Herod then decided that outright dueling would be most distracting, so he moved his wand over his head and sent a purple arrow flying towads his head. Herdo was quick in his wrirsts and sent a flurry of Stunning Spells and Disarming Charms in the direction of the mad man.
