Heh, a good friend lost a screaming mace to her, and, rather than go through
the hassle of trying to get a bracer of battle a do the quest , bought it back
from her later. <sigh>

The problem with this tactic is that almost everyone knows about the sit/stand
trick now - when you're charmed or feared, click on sit/stand rapidly, and you
basically won't move, you'll just bounce up and down. Another bug needing
fixing.

In playing around with my friends, so far fear seems to be often resisted by
people the same level as me, so I'm not sure how well this will work. But
then, I've only had the song for 2 bubbles or so, and I imagine it gets better.
