Listening to Torrin, Meira asks, "Was Don-Jon just complaining? Or did he actually change into one of those rat people?"
She also takes a closer look at the door, trying to figure out where it's most likely to fall. Then try to suggest a way to reinforce it. (Investigation: 23). "Ideas on making the door stronger?" she asks the others.
Gareth accepts the longbow from Meira with gratitude. "I wear regular leather armor. If no one else wants to use that armor, I can, but I'm sure we could also get it tailored," he says.
The ranger gives Big Al Kalazorn a hug. Big Al squeezes him so tightly he's afraid his bones might break, but the rancher releases him before that can happen. "Good luck. I'm sure we'll see each other around, and we'll make sure to post that notice for you."
Things seem dire at the Mountain Toe Gold Mine. Gareth frowns at the splintering door. "It looks like you've already reinforced it with planks. No matter what we do he's going to break it down eventually," the ranger predicts. "I think the best course of action would be to try and calm him down somehow."
Gareth turns toward Eldrin, who they've been escorting back to Phandalin. "I don't suppose your spells keep people asleep for very long, but maybe if you were able to knock Don Jon out for a bit, we could tie him up, at least bind his hands so he can't pummel the door."
The ranger isn't too fond of the idea of restraining Don Jon, but if the man is close to turning, it would be for his own safety as well as for others.
(ooc: Abishai, would Charm Person work here to calm him down? If it succeeds, we could potentially restrain him safely and avoid being bitten. The risk is high, though. Lyra's DC isn't super hight, and Don-Jon shouldn't be engaged in combat before I cast the spell, or he'd roll at advantage.)
Great question. You can certainly try it or another spell if you've prepared it, Calm Emotions! Also, there might be some things that would work to secure the door a bit longer. Feel free to get creative!
I would have to sleep to prepare Calm Emotions, I'm afraid. Charm Person, on the other hand, is one of the spells Lyra has permanently prepared.
@all: if we managed to secure the door for 8 hours, we could sleep and Lyra could prepare Calm Emotions. If we can't do that, then Charm Person is all she can offer regarding "control spells".
Eldrin's Mind Sliver + Silvery Barbs would very helpful to make Don-Jon fail the ST of either spell.
I'd say we should still prepare a fallback plan. Don-Jon could still roll above 13 even substracting a d4 and re-rolling to pick the lower result!
