It was pure luck that Marcus was able to block his ears before the wail could truly take effect on his mind. He grimaces, thinking desperately on what to do. He can almost feel Jordan's Death Curse squeezing in around him, seeming to choke him and drive his mind blank. And the remnants of the Blackstaff's whispers continue to assault his mind in a dizzying susurrus.
But everyone else isn't backing down. There's no way he can get scared now.
"I've heard better singing from alleycats, you bloody pissant!" he shouts, as much to hype himself up as anything else. He backs up a few steps, and the Blackstaff appears in his hand as if by magic--distressingly quickly, to Marcus, as if it had been teleported there, but there is nothing for it. He raises the Blackstaff, gathering power in the form of a radiant sphere of light at the head of the staff. "Forzare Rex!" he shouts, aiming for the most weakened tentacle and seeking to pinball it into the one that hadn't already shaken off its damage.
Then, with a little magical twist of his mind, he deadens the air inside his ears. It's a bit painful, but now he can't hear anything, including any further wailings from the monsters.
