OOC:
If you're choosing between those two spells, a part of me thinks you might be better off casting Protection from Evil & Good, since you have to touch your target if you intend to cast it on Ælfric. Additionally, once Haste ends (after 1 minute or if you lose concentration) whoever you hasted will be stuck there for at least one turn.
Sensing that the confrontation was near, Elayna places a hand upon Sarith and Mai'ngor.
"We can do this!" she whispers with emphasis.
OOC:
Elayna casts Heroism at 2nd level.
[ +- ] Heroism
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A willing creature you touch is imbued with bravery. Until the spell ends, the creature is immune to being frightened and gains temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of its turns. When the spell ends, the target loses any remaining temporary hit points from this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st.
