I was in the primary group leading the attack. Those two
ice giants weren't the accident, the other two that followed
and the 3 giant spiders were the accident. <g>

I'll willing to venture I had one of the highest charisma there
(with buffs) at around 150 - 160. I got belted good too, but
tanks taunted very well to keep extras off me. However I did
watch several giants B-line for many of you guys who were back
there.

I went down fighting; our evac druid was dead and me and a ranger
stood back to back slashing until the end. One ice giant, one
ice giant priest, and two giant spiders eventually overwhelmed
me. I couldn't get AE Fear off because the combined damage from
those monsters killed me in less than 5 seconds.

The same thing happened about 30 minutes later as well, but
this second evac was a complete success as Screech feared almost
everything in that room without resist. No deaths in a no win
situation, I like those odds. Screech is definitely the 'Divine
Aura' of the Bard world.
