So there absolutely is no way to win those games then, right?
Also, doesn't this impose a time limit of some sort into the game,

because if you dally too much eventually you will end up killing a lot
of
jackals (although you'd have to dally a LOT if you're being real
careful --
certainly long enough that the pressure created is not much so it's
probably
not a big deal anyway.)?

But sometimes one does not encounter the summoner itself first, but
the
summoned jackals, and if one does not have magic spells at this point,
one cannot often attack the summoner directly.
