The correct thing to do would have been let the mage fight the three cyclops for sure.
OP here didn't even send a polite tell "i can take one of these off you if you'd like"
^that's a good example of how you can send a tell to someone in this sort of situation, OP, and result in a win/win scenario
Worst case scenario: the mage dies and then u mop up his 3 clopz
