The monster pulled out of the way, a vaguely battish, pale woman, seems awfully grateful regardless when she sees what the Cwyld is doing and wisely flees as soon as she's let go. Maybe she'll even make it out of town, if one of the Shades doesn't get her.
"It's not working at all." Which is impossible for a nightborne! They lived and breathed magic! That it isn't working at all, that he can't even sense it ambiently is frightening in a way this hellscape isn't, but he has mundane skill to back up the lack at least. And some clever little goblin toys that can at least do something about the lack of fire.. "What did they do to the leylines?"
It can't be a problem with him, or have anything to do with the feathers he sports. He rolls a number of tiny spiked balls in his hands before offering them to Ciri. "Here. Throw these at something and they'll explode, hopefully cause a fire. I have more." Where? Where on his utter lack of baggy clothing was he keeping those?? He has no idea if it'll work against everything but fire's a fantastic way to get rid of plants, and there's a lot of those infected right now.
That there's outsiders who have the exact same idea of 'burn it' isn't yet known, but to demonstrate one of the wildfire bombs is thrown at the bloated, infected plant. It does indeed explode, and is engulfed in flames in the doing, little flaming bits of Cwyld-tainted plant scattering in a small radius. This time at least, it's not spreading further.
