It was much easier in RQ days, simple POW vs POW contests and when you were stronger than them just stuff em in a spirit crystal. I have great affection for the senario as it was my introduction to RQ and Glorantha many moons ago. Though I do recall loosing a character in the flat room whilst fighting rats on his hands and knees he fatally stabbed himself in the foot!! LOL now wasn't funny then. :)

I think that a few of the companions will go the same way. They can then heroquest to return them to their normal form.
