My group has started hunting in CoM recently (got bored of Skyfire), and I was wondering if you all could answer a few questions for me.

First, a little bit of info on my group, I'm the low man (at 35th), we have a 45th chanter, a 51 Cleric, 52 Mage and Shaman. Normally I don't tank unless it's a bad pull (and the Chanter's not there :), mainly because we're fighting stuff that's all red to me and I die a bit too fast.

My job in the group is mana song, charming for CC when I can (dang 37th charm cap!), pulling and scouting (I'm the only one who'll pull in that zone, the others are too scared *shrug*), and generally entertaining the group.

What I need to know...I've been keeping the 12+ spawns on the ground in the middle of the zone clear, so we've started to explore towards the castle. Is there anything I need to be aware of near there? Also, what's in the house flying in the sky? And why do all those groups camp near the double staircase (we can't fight there, lags me and the cleric out).

TIA!

P.S., went on my first Vox run a couple nights ago. We got slaughtered, but it was still fun :)
