Oh, I just noticed the two Cleric's passive abilities:<br/><br/><strong>Passive: Guardian Spirit</strong><br/>The Cleric gains +2 defense while buffing or assisting any ally.<br/><br/><strong>Passive: Aura of Calm</strong><br/>The spirit user grants all teammates +1 to escape. This ability is disabled while gagged or stunned and does not stack.<br/><br/>So, it seems that as long as Mel is not gagged, we all have a +1 to our escape attempts. Good to know. That means that for her next attempt, Lyra will have a +3 (then -1 because of the bondage itself)<br/><br/>Also, Mel's Defense is actually 11 whenever she helps one of us... which is most of the time, so far.
