I've seen these things turn around before, but yes, numbers have an advantage especially with Ashley's rally buffs. Now maybe everyone'll stop asking her to fight personally.
If Cat's host had allowed Cat to follow her instincts and just rush Ashley, Ashley would have had to transform without getting a lot of minions out and Ashley Panther doesn't hit as hard as Cat, her AC is lower, and she has less hit points. Though she is faster, I'm not sure if that would have helped since Cat could just use ranged attack which Ashley panther also doesn't have.
Also, I just realized I used the word threw instead of through, it's horrendous.
