Hehehe I just got my prod, but I fought him there, in the throne room
area... over in the left corner... charmed his pet until that was dead, then
realized i didnt have selo's up (had memmed charm in its place) so i mezzed
his ugly sarnak butt and memmed that then fought him til i was low in
health, messed him again, healed up, stuck chains on him when he tried to
run and killed him :) I'm not a great bard either, just konw with my
shaman I probably would have been toast!
But I agree Minkin, I seldom, if ever solo with Tani in a closed space. But
thats what I meant earlier about choosing your mobs and location carefully.
