Greetings!
I would try the two bards sing Lullaby somewhere else before getting too
excited that is works so well. I am very sorry to say that the pathing is
so messed up at the top of that temple that if you stay out of melee range
of the lizzies (and off the steps, any steps) you can effectively cheat by
using ranged attack. Since the lizzies get "stuck" in place, by being out
of their melee range just sit back and use casters or whatever to kill em.
Very very poor sport. I don't do this. I have seen a bard climb the roof,
lev off, and run around aggro'ing all the lizzies around the temple then
stand on steps at top of temple. The lizzies come to him, ignoring all
others. He climbs roof, then rest of group slays lizzies which do not even
fight back. I have seen it and thought it a shame. I even grouped in a
group that did this, before I realized what was really happening. Maybe it
is just the Cazic-Thule server that this phenom happens, but i would
recommend trying Lullaby somewhere else with two bards to be sure it is not
the poor pathing in the temple.
