Here is another use for Lament. The first time I was in Unrest me and some
buddies were there killing the lawn trash, but we kept getting jumped by
wandering ghouls (melee hevy party and only 2 magic weapons). One time when
I spotted a ghoul headed our way I decided in desperation to lament it, and
it work! He just shuffed right into and out of our battle! Made me feel
good to be a bard, haha. Another good use is when your casters are medding
and a wandering cat/bear/gnoll/whatever wanders by on mana patrol. Hit it
with a Lament and it will got annoy someone else.
