Quarterstaff. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:2 (1d6 - 1) bludgeoning damage, or 3 (1d8 - 1) bludgeoning damage if used with two hands.

Instinctive Charm (Recharges after Mennek Casts an Enchantment Spell of 1st level or Higher). Mennek tries to magically divert an attack made against it, provided that the attacker is within 30 feet of it and visible to it. The enchanter must decide to do so before the attack hits or misses.

The attacker must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker targets the creature closest to it, other than Mennek or itself. If multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which one to target.
