I think at least one of these is obvious - then what to do with the three  ;)

I'm back now - you can roll for me.

BTW, I think the Herd made the right play here.  If I roll a 5 I'm pretty darn likely to win regardless of whether there's a blot there to hit, so it makes sense to leave the five point slotted.
