Btw, got a couple of plot points I need to go over with you. I need to set up a vitally important motivation for later, and to do so, I need Solomon to take some hits and to eventually succumb to the attacking rangers. Shortly after, he'll be killed (or close to it), albeit temporarily. Is that okay?

Also, since their attacks aren't particularly powerful or complicated, I think it would be efficient for you to handle the combat with them. As long as they aren't killed and don't come off too incompetent, I see no need to micromanage the three attackers.
