p130 in the book The adept issues a great bellow, inspiring his allies and intimidating his enemies . The targets must be within the adept’s Battle Bellow rank x10 yards. The adept makes a Battle Bellow test against the highest Social Defense among the target group, +1 for each additional target. I...

Or to be a little more precise: Both the adept’s hands must be free and cannot be holding weapons, shields, and items which act as shields when using this talent.

There's an optional rule in the companion 4e for it: LOWERING MYSTIC DEFENSE Earlier editions of Earthdawn allowed characters to voluntarily lower their Mystic Defense when casting a spell on themselves, or by a friendly magician.

So just use the health and armor of your character for the nightflyer.
