the bear is Mel's - your funeral
Alrethus is hurriedly packing. He is preparing a teleport spell. A low to the bak of the head sends him reeling disrupting the spell
"It would be rude to go without saying goodbye"
Alrethus looking fearful, and reaches for a wand. A strong grip takes his wrist, twists his arm, flicks out the wand and a foot kicks Alrethus in the throat - he now has trouble speaking
"I do NOT appreciate the kidnapping of Skye - just thought I'd let you know that". One turning smashes Alrethus' jaw, his teeth fly about the place. He slumps unconscious
Shield picks up Alrethus' body (and any of SKye's equipment goes in his bag of holding) to take back to the bar - let the others decide his punishment. What's the range of magic jar? If bar is far enough away, we could kill him.
