Jack would do his absolute utmost to keep the Dream Shifter safe, including putting himself in harm's way. Additionally, there is some interesting character development/CR to be had if he takes out the Shifter on his own - so if that is possible, that would be cool and very much appreciated.

If this is all too troublesome (and sorry if it is, oops), I can try to find someone in the other 8 to trade spots with. Or, you know, I can just just suck it up and roll with it. That is possible too.
