    • Attack him before he fully rises / where he is held: you fight Hew (wounded) (11+ ^Scaled, 150 SP, 6 XP), you have to attack 1 time before you can flee

Untested, but likely loss of SP or even death if you don't pass. You then fight Hew (12+ ^Scaled, 175 SP, 12 XP), you have to attack 1 time before you can flee.
