I spent a couple nights in Beholder's Maze and found another
use for the lullaby (L15 song). Every so often, an evil eye
(or the Lord evil eye) would get pulled near the zone border
and charm people before it was killed (the charm lasts despite
the death of the charmer). These charmed people would then
run around attacking everyone else. You don't want to hurt
them because they're not in control of what they do, but OTOH
it can be a pain just standing there soaking up the damage.

What to do? I just started up my lullaby and put all the
charmed people to sleep, and everyone else got busy healing
themselves. (The charmee hitting sit over and over works too,
but in one case the charmed person went linkdead.) They wake
up every now and then and swing at you, but usually go right
back to sleep. Verant in all their wisdom made it much easier
for mobs to stun than for players to do so, so it was actually
easier to do this against players than monsters.

It's little things like this, doing stuff that nobody else can
do, that really make me like the bard. :-)
