The second and third groups both had a mage with them, copying Dana in appearance, but they could only use a water bolt spell.
That made them manageable, but they were still doing fairly impressive damage to the barriers.
"Your barrier ability is too strong. They can't hurt us at all. How are we supposed to be learning anything?" The female Orc asked.
"Do Orcs learn best with pain and not practice?" Karl replied.
They all nodded, as if that should have been obvious, and Karl had Thor take the barrier off them, while leaving it on Dana and Ophelia.
There was no need to make his team suffer just because the Orcs were stubborn.
The next group fight actually went better, as after they had taken a few hits, the Orcs began to adapt their tactics and deal damage more efficiently to the monsters.
It was a fascinating change, even if it did start an argument between Cara and Rae as to whether an entire species could be masochists.
