Hello,

Well, I tried a little experiment last night with SOW and Selo's. I had a
Shaman (9th level) cast SOW while I was playing Selo's. SOW did NOT
override Selo's. Both Icons stayed up on my screen, and I still got 'Your
feet move faster messages', and ran at Selo's speed. However, once I
stopped Selo's, SOW took over, and I could not restart Selo's speed. I got
the same thing, song visuals, but no message, and no extra speed, with drum
or without. So, if you are playing Selo's when SOW is cast on you, you can
still run at full speed, but, if you turn it off, you are now stuck. Also,
from my experience of the last 2 nights, the difference between the length
of a 19th level SOW and a 9th level SOW is about 2 times. Night before last
SOW from a 19th lasted over half an hour, near to 45 minutes. The 9th level
SOW last night lasted just about 20 to 25 minutes. Luckily last night I was
just playing around, and not out trying to kill stuff.

Now for the Koalindl Fish - possible spoilers, so obligatory space

Last night, some guildmates and I were attempting various ways of obtaining
Koalindl Fish without taking that faction hit. Well, if the guard is in the
water, you cannot kill a fish without the guard fighting. We came up with
an idea for me to kite the guard out, and zone, but I had been playing
around with SOW, and was still under it's affect. Well, ok, I can still
make it, since it is left, left, right, left, zone from the water.
Unfortunately, there was always a wandering guard there, and I did not want
to take the risk of getting stunned and beat by two guards from the get-go.

So, we started talking to the guard in the water. I don't remember his
name, but he has a quest he wants you to do. Seems that the Barbarian's
wolf, from west K, Frostbite, comes into town, and sucks up Koalindl fish.
Somehow you are supposed to retrieve a fish from it, i think.

Well, two of us rendevoused out in the Barbarian village in West K, and
found Frostbite. Mcmannus stands just within aggro range at times, so you
have to watch him, and make sure he leaves. Also, another wandering
Barbarian walks around near the pen on an irregular basis. After both Barbs
were clear, I took Frostbite for a bit of a run, to get him away from the
camp, and proceeded to solo him. Easy fight at 17th level, using
dirk/barbed whip/songs. But, no fish. Just a ruined wolf pelt. so my
guildmate shows up, we wait a bit, new spawn, let the barbs run off, and he
nukes the wolf. Same thing, ruined wolf pelt. So, there is something more
to getting Frostbite to have a fish on his corpse, or another way to get it
from him, without killing him.

Good Luck
