i've been in more than one group where i had to contribute damage cuz we were
so pathetic. here was one, sk, enc, dru, cle, me. the druid nuked occasionally,
but sk's damage really isn't that good. so i broke out the chants and helped out.
we cleared down to the bar in sebilis but then a couple folks had to leave.
