[ In any other circumstance, Lux would be the one holding the line. She was the one that inevitably blew their cover, after all. Seeing a flash of blue in the corner of her vision, the small mage throws the ball of light she had been nursing at the beast, freeing up both hands. ]
Cover your eyes!
[ Lux is going to hope they do as she says; as the ball of light begins to grow, Lux breaks into a sprint, using the ice to slide her behind the barrier. It doesn't matter if she falls, as long as she has enough momentum to propel her forward.
Sliding behind the barrier, Lux throws an arm over her face as the ball of light swells before explodes with light. No heat, no shockwave (she hasn't figured out how to do either yet), but enough luminescence to briefly bathe the cavern with light—the salamander getting the brunt of it. Hopefully that will be enough to temporarily blind the beast.
Or make it angry. That possibility exists. They should probably move on quickly. ]
