During the conversation with him, shifting your party around to avoid getting caught up in his Vampiric Shout is a good way to avoid losing [[Concentration]] on a spell. An easy approach is to use [[Banishment]] to put him out of the fight, sparing Isobel his wrath and allowing the group to clear out the [[Winged Horror|Winged Horrors]]. By the time the spell ends, he will be no match against the full party and the Inn's defenders. | ||
