Oh, wow. The enemy places her ally between her and herself. How innovative. Now she is in trouble. Did that whole group never thought of the idea, a meat shield being used against them? They use all kind of magic. Can't that prodigy just use a spell, that quickly attacks sideways (so quick it can't be evaded, even if it doesn't put on much of a punch), create vines, that just tangle the enemy, a stone golem, that pocks her, cast resist cold on her ally before hand and freeze "both", a mind spell, strengthening her ally, etc. She doesn't even have to come up with them right now, if she thought about them before hands. Really, video game RPG players vs. pen'n'paper RPG players. Get creative.
