The battle ends in a matter of seconds:
While Horus and Angel move forward to engage the enemy, Lyle aims at another mercenary, and the area around the ghost is bathed in flame. While Horus' opponent becomes unconcious a unicorn appears out of nothing and Vandalin charges through the air at the ghost, and as the wolf's huge jaws snap at the drow, he starts screaming in pain and vanishes.
The mercenaries seem to come out of some kind of coma, looking around puzzledly at the party, and especially at the charging Angel, who stops as soon as she sees the ghost destroyed, and Lyle lowers his crossbow.
