[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9645154, member: 2629"] If you're not going to even bother to read my post ... [I]sigh[/I] You just included in the quote a couple additional options that allow the PCs to best the threat: Reflecting the gaze to put it to sleep and luring it away. AND ONCE AGAIN: This is the puzzle for the PCs to resolve. You're rambling about the lack of answers to a puzzle when four broad examples have been provided and there are countless variants of most of them that could be attempted. Off the top of my head: [LIST] [*]Collapse part of the house on them to trap them. [*]Use a mirror to reflect gazes to put them to sleep. [*]Drag them to a constraining or damaging situation. [*]Throw oil on them so that the firebolt does extra damage. [*]Lure them away from the house to protect the residents (and allies - fighters have the hp to spare). [*]Throw acid. [*]I'll mention poisoning a weapon - but that is expensive! [*]Throw a threat in a room and hold the door closed so that the other PCs can focus on foes one at a time. [*]Seduce a Jackalwere (I'm not judging - BG3 opened doors). [*]Negotiate - they're still intelligent creatures and whack sticks are not the only answer to a problem. [*]Intimidate it - they are labeled as cowards after all in the description. [/LIST] Additionally, anything else the DM sets up. If there is a chandelier described, perhaps that could be dropped on them. If the DM put a magic weapon in the house (either rolled up or intentionally placed) as an heirloom, get that (which would potentially give the PCs the option to struggle against the ability and overcome it all in the same adventure). Etc... [/QUOTE]
