Ardino put his hand on Gavin's shoulder. For most, this would only be a symbolic gesture, but for Ardino it was so much more. With such a touch, he had Locked Gavin, and now was the time to drag him away from the prone man, as was pulled backward by Ardino's hand. Once they were a few steps back, he spoke in quiet tones. "Listen, now is not the time to unload on him like that. He'll soon get what's coming to him, but for now, we need someone to bring back from this escapade and he's the only one who didn't disappear out a window. We can't risk coming back empty-handed and taking your vengeance, however justified it may be, is not going to help right now."
Spoiler: OOCI know that this doesn't actually work, but I wanted to roll Diplomacy for flavor's sake. (1d20+9)[19]
