Subject: New use for lullaby


Sometimes I'm slow so you may all know this, but I've learned so much on
this list I want to at least attempt to share new uses for songs...

Last night I was in Najena fighting the ogre captain to help a guildmate get
some large bronze armor. The captain is level 30 or so and he always spawns
with help so its a tough battle. Just as we pulled the captain the last
time last night, our magician went linkdead and our two large bodies started
banging on the wrong bodies. The officer that came with the captain
dispatched one of our members in short work and had the other one down to a
bubble of health (and I hadn't even put a dent in the captain yet!). I
yelled the run command, gave my mostly dead ogre friend a head start and
then it hit me, why should I get stunned all the way out of the dungeon?!? I
turned on Lullaby and we ran out. Every time a monster got close in the
train we created on that run, their head would nod. I got hit only twice on
the whole run and saved one party members life! Of course, I would never
have tried it if Najena was an outdoorsy type of place. :)

Oh yeah, one side effect I realized as I ran is that my song did get ALL the
monsters I passed on my tail, even the ones that were green enough that they
had stopped attacking me on sight. It could backfire if you don't know the
zone very well.
