Disagree there, diffindo the chain, distract with our patronus, a dragon transfiguration or birds and then levitate it up to us. He's a mindless werewolf, he's going to be trying to attack us, not protect the time turner. Both sides have different objectives and him trying to kill us not only makes it easier for us to take the time turner since he'll be more open, he also can't actually hurt us because of flight.

Spending a bunch of time echoes on a situation where we absolutely have the advantage would be a huge mistake I think.
 
[X] This could be a Tragedy – You still don't know if Black and Pettigrew are innocent or not. Maybe only one of them is a criminal, maybe its both of them. It's very simple. You don't care. Lupin would be a tragedy. But it is more important to save the students and keep both of yourselves without bites.

I went for 3 echoes on the werewolf fight because I think we should spend more time echoes on saving everyone from bites and resolving this whole thing rather than fighting Lupin. We don't need to fight him and we have complete air superiority, this is the least dangerous part of the upcoming event.

I don't necessarily think that the first werewolf fight will be easier. Mostly because Jacob will be doing that one solo. The second werewolf encounter will have more people around. So there are more potential victims true, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione aren't exactly incompetent. They could provide some support if needed. The Last Act should honestly be the easiest of them all, as by then the Werewolf threats should either be dealt with by then or contained. And Snape should also be arriving by then to provides support as well.

If this works, it means another victory under Jacob's belt. Which would probs feed his ego.....I want it. I want it so bad. Prideful characters are disliked, but personally I love them. Especially, if they could back it up.

Go📣, Go📣, Jacob, Go📣, Go📣.

Yeah they can provide support but the objective for both is completely different. Here, even though we're flying solo (pun intended) here we don't actually need to get into a range where we could be harmed and out objective isn't defeat or to even harm Lupin at all.

The second fight in the shack is a much harder fight because we have a huge werewolf in an enclosed space with a lot of targets as you said. Of those targets the only one who can really give any meaningful combat support is Sirius with his animagus form or some spells he might know. Harry, Ron and Hermione don't actually bring all that much to the table compared to Jacob.

I mean maybe and that's the problem, we literally do not know. We have an unaccounted for werewolf, we have Pettigrew running off which we actually want to stop and crucially, Snape could cause more harm than good due to his bias against Sirius, Harry and not having a non-wolf Lupin there as backup to stop Snape from acting on his biases.

There's so many unknowns and so many different ways this whole thing can go tits up that we should be as prepared as we can and spend the extra echoes to try and get the best outcome possible.

I knew empathy was the key to this turn!

He had brought the werewolf with him to guarantee his other self to flee. A genius move that was out of leftfield. He had taken out Granger's Time Turner and used it himself to flee thanks to the Wolfs involvement, but Pettigrew was the one who had brought the wolf in the first place. Something that was only possible because he had fled.

I love this. Pettigrew is very underestimated by a lot of people, but he is probably one of the most cunning characters in the series.

You know, I sort of agree that we have no idea how this whole thing will shake out. Maybe the beginning fights are harder and it gets easier as it goes along with more people arriving to provide support and distractions. Maybe the beginning werewolf fight is easy and it gets harder as it goes on with more people coming into play bringing in more complications. I think it is kind of hard right now to predict things with the limited information available. So I'm just gonna switch to the balanced plan to try to cover all bases.

[X] Plan As All Things Should Be – 5 TE for [Werewolf Fight], 5 TE for [Saving Potter], 5 TE for [Last Act]

[X] This could be a Tragedy – You still don't know if Black and Pettigrew are innocent or not. Maybe only one of them is a criminal, maybe its both of them. It's very simple. You don't care. Lupin would be a tragedy. But it is more important to save the students and keep both of yourselves without bites.

Ok, The plan ending focused seems to be too unbalanced, I don´t want to have less than four TE in any of the steps of the plan...

So switching votes

Alright here's what we can do to stop and contain lupin in the first act

we have our magic shoes so we stay in the air away from his reach.
We hit him with the cheering charm and tickling charm to give him paralyzing laughter.
While he's laughing and can't resist, we hit him with a good ole lapifors turning him into a bunny.
and as a bunny we hit him with our brand new immobilus charm

now he's a frozen rabbit and can't harm anyone.

For act 2 I'm here
we can use our goggles to see inside the building, and when we see sirius get thrown out the windows we can spongify the area to make sure he doesn't break his neck or anything.
Maybe we can throw a protego in front of harry or turn harry into a rabbit to get out of the way or something at the end.

I got nothing for act 3, except we can probably track peter with our goggles.

I'm not entirely sure how act 3 will play out but how we deal with them in act 1/2 will change alot.
if we can contain remus in act 1 with something like immobile rabbit, he's out of play for act 3
Peter is running away north and we can track him with our goggles
And black is with the sponges or something,
The biggest wildcard in all of this is Snape, cause I'm not sure what he'll do in all of this. Maybe we can tell him to chase after peter, but that's a crapshoot since snape is still semi-working for Tom as a double agent at this point iirc.
 
Turning people into rabbits is such an overpowered spell, if it works.

Could you imagine turning Tom into a bunny in the final battle.
:rofl2:

Only problem is if we leave him as a bunny he may just be lost in the Forbidden Forest forever.
 
I'm not exactly sure how magic resistant a werewolf is. But it's still a big fast killing machine.
The solution can't always be 'turn it into a rabbit'.

At least when Pettigrew runs we'll be able to track him down since the goggles let us see soul footprints and life signs. Otherwise it would be impossible to track down a rat in the forest in the dark.

about Lupine it is important to remember that he has magic resistance, probably only indirect spells will work.
 
In regards to a potential Animagi project, I'd say it's a long ways off if Jacob ever does it at all. As the chapter notes, it's just too niche.

For at least the next year, Jacob has cause and motivation to work on building up much more fundamental skills. And on a meta level, it's way too much of an action sink unless later in the quest the DC can be slashed, the bonuses to rolls can be massively increased, or both.

Sorry Sirius and Remus, it's probaply best not to risk it…
