Or, if you're patient, you can wait for someone else to train the Deputy
away...though I'm not a fan of such a tactic.

I had something similar happen to me at the Ruins in East Commonlands. I
had _just_ gotten done lamenting all but the one undead I wanted to deal
with (all 3 were blue to yellow for me), and someone came up and pulled
the blue away just as I came up. Guess what? I ended up with the yellow
chasing me back to the guards (thank goodness I fire up selo as I'm
running in--never know when a ghoul pops).

Just my 2 copper,

Grei, Bard of the 11th Measure
Bristlebane

p.s. I think Measure sounds better than Octave or Chord--and it's more
fitting too, as each measure helps music grow, just like our levels help
us grow. :)
