That's a really great story Talies, but what were you doing aiding a
Shadowknight? Cavorting with the walking dead is bad for the complexion! I
try to always avoid even conversing with those who think a walking pile of
bones makes a good 'pet'. I mean what if that stuff is catching! Think of
what it would do to your singing voice! All those raspy voices! Icky in
the extreme!
Remember, try to group with people who won't be liable to give you a skin
condition that makes body parts fall off at random intervals. Ogres and
Trolls might not be all bad, but stay away from the Necro types!
Kitasi, friend of the living!

Last night, in Lake Rathe, I grouped with an Ogre Shadowknight and a
Half-elf Rogue. We were working on Aviak guards on an island all to
ourselves, and doing fine - finishing each guard with no more than half a
bubble or so down each. I needed to go to bed, but since I have a great
connection, I told them that I could stay logged in, and sleeping nearby
while playing the Hymn, so they could take advantage of it. Cheesy, yeah,
but I was curious about something. I sat and watched while they fought,
and round after round, they were finishing almost nearly the same as if I
had been fighting. Whether there was some other dynamic force in effect I
wasn't aware of, I don't know - but it seems almost as though I didn't even
need to be there.
Then the Rogue had to leave, something about bloodclaws, and that left the
SK fighting alone, well, him and his skellie, and I stayed watching, just
to see what would happen (and in case he got waxed - I'm not stupid ;).
For the next hour, he fought - never dropping below three bubbles, and when
he did, he'd just back close enough to me to start healing again. At one
time, an Aviak decided I was doing too good a job and started pounding on
me, but it wasn't much, so I just let it while the Ogre continued to fight.
After that, I guess he decided that it was too dangerous to play like that
with me "unconcious", so he disbanded the party, and went in search of a
group (about ten minutes later, they took over the nest again).
All in all, I am incredibly impressed with our ability - just by sitting
there, playing the Lute, I made such a significant difference that he was
"soloing" things that were yellow to him. That's just amazing.
