Suppose I, Noah Nam, were to run into a kelpie? What would I do?

He paused and was about to start brainstorming his method of choice but soon was distracted by mentions of punching the poor creature in the snout, run away, defense charms, and more options. Wow. That was quick.

Noah paused, thinking through his strategy. He liked the sound of a shield charm or something defensive to start off with. Or an illusion. That'd be helpful too. He'd probably start off trying to calm the creature. "I'd use a defensive spell on myself to ensure I'm protected and then... I'd probably try to calm the creature... somehow.." He paused, trying to remember the name of the spell that used the bridle and it was calming. AHA. "I'd use a placement charm to make it docile." He could always stun it if that didn't work.

Sorry Kelpie...
