Okay, my brass and strings skills are maxed out, so that should not be a
problem.
I was trying the "all songs" concept, and it DOESN'T WORK.

Just for safety, I was in Splitpaw, where there are only 3 things that will
attack me: Ghanex Drah, his pet and the occasional wandering zombie.

Welp....
1st round: with weapons, I barely killed Ghanex, half killed his pet, then
died.
2nd round. with weapons, I barely killed Ghanex, did hardly anything to his
pet, then died.
3rd round. songs only, I didn't do half health to Ghanex. WHY?!!?!
I was weaving DDD with brass, and Chords and Hymn on strings, but still, he
barely took any damage.
Why did I lose a level on this?

Talies the 19th level again. (and rapidly going downward as he tries again
and again to retrieve his corpse)
