Strategy in the mighty fight against the planar-travelling Retriever who delivered HUN-HAT to his smoking lounge.
Roll initiative (+7) vs Retriever (+3) and incapacitated HUN-HAT (+2, irrelevant).
Realizing that HUN-HAT can become tiring if he succeed on his saving throw to free from paralyzation, and that it is not a regular cookie seller or amateur herborist, warranting removal from the premises (but not enough to harm him until further information is gathered... Alfred was never big on violence and the guy just arrived uninvited in his home). Plus, if Ilmater was right, it was the guy he was tasked to fight, and who apparently made Eilirilia live a very uncomfortable life... He had left her, but she didn't do anything wrong, it was the result of her upbringing and she didn't deserve to hover until the end of time without ever touching the ground. So after an instant of internal monologue, Alfred reluctantly settle for the use of nonlethal force.
So... On round 1, Alfred will Imprison (9th level spell slot), using the Eternal Slumber version [he has been cultivating rare soporic herbs in his garden, right by the thyme patch] the HUN-HAT. Should the HUN-HAT succeed on his DC 19 Wisdom check (with his +0 ability score and no proficiency... but you can't rule out a natural 20), Alfred will spend an exhaustion level and activate his Convergent Future ability to set the dice to one less than was needed to succeed. Eternal slumber it is for the HUN-HAT.
On the same round, the Simulacrum butler is actively trying to remove the offending Retriever... a Large creature in the smoking lounge is SURE to make a mess! The immediate goal being protection of the furniture -- since there is obviously nothing threatening happening to anyone so far. His action is therefore to cast Polymorph to turn the Large Retriever into a CR 0 snail (which is lower than the original CR, so it's OK). If needed (the retriever rolls at +5 against a DC19), he'll use his own Convergent Future ability to make sure his mission to protect the premises is accomplished. As a move action, he'll move to the snail and collect it.
For some reason, after 10 minutes, the snail will vanish, leaving a puzzled Simulacrum (who was still concentrating on the spell) and an even more puzzled Alfred. Maybe interrogating the HUN-HAT will bring some answers. But it is a story for another day. Right now, Alfred can return to make herbal tea. For some reason, he dinged XP for defeating a level 20 threat after this uneventful, albeit strange, event, which puzzled him even more.
HUN-HAT is defeated by Alfred, all from the comfort of his own home. Vote.
