Here is a technique that I employed while pulling multiple mobs from Unrest
Mansion last night. This worked really well, and my party was super
receptive to my suggestions after I proved we could kick butt.

As I'm sneaking around the Mansion while invis, I will first of all call out
what it is I'm pulling. (usually :) The I call the prime target... for
example

Me: I have a Ghoul and 2 Dark Boned Skelies... ready?
Cleric: I'm ready
Ranger: Ready
Enchanter: ok.
Me: INC.... GHOUL FIRST.....

After making this announcement, I switch from Invis to Weapons and
Selos...drag em back. I did on several occasions use Lullabye with lute, if
I pulled too many. And because we were already hitting one mob, the Lull
worked great.

I have noticed a lot of players around my level get really discouraged in
Unrest because of the tendency to train large groups. Last night I changed
several of thier minds, no one died once.
