"Okay, I'll help you." you say, after all, if Ronny kills Johnny, he'll just be unsummoned.

"Good. I'm glad you see things my way." Ronny motions for the guards to untie you. After a minute or two of their fumbling with the knots, they look up at Ronny and shrug.

"Oh for the love of-" Ronny jumps from his chair and walks around the table to take a stab at untying the ropes. He too can't get them untied. "Geez, who tied these ropes anyway?"

On of the mafia types scratches his head, "Bob, I think. But we whacked him after he dropped off this loser."

Ronny sighs and holds his head in his hands. "Can't you summon Johnny without gesturing wildly?

"Nope, sorry. The gesturing wildly is just as important as the mumbling under my breath.

Ronny looks about at the group of lackeys and asks, "Doesn't anyone have a knife or something sharp? A lighter? broken bottle? ANYTHING?"

The lackeys all look at eachother and shrug. One of them reaches into their pocket and fishes out a quarter. "Will this work, boss?"

Ronny grumbles something under his breath and snatches the quarter from the lackey. He raises his arm to throw it at the lackey, but he stops and instead looks at it closely. He sighs and hands it to the lackey, "Try it," he grumbles, "It's not like we have any other choices." Ronny turns to you and says, "Now would be a good time to develop super stength."

Hours go by, and the quarter proves to be totally ineffectual against the ropes. You sigh, "You could have sent somebody out to get a sharp thing by now!"

Looking at his shoes, Ronny admits, "We spent all our money renting the place and buying these spiffy suits."

You sigh and now realize why you would want a spell that instantly kills yourself.
