Veracis noobish mistakes, first of <a very large number>:

#1: Running into aggro mobs thinking a level 20 mage Duck will just be all
right.
#2: Trying to kill a quest boss of a level quest without first considering
(especially considering the strength of the real-life personality said boss is
named after). For the record: one round to heaven.
#3: Despite having figured out that the parser is case sensitive and generally
prefers lower case insist on using capitals in a command.

Bonus random thought: I'm half relieved / half sad that the editor for posts
actually shows you multiple lines. Ed like editing wouldn't feel out of place
here. Though I guess one shouldn't give wizards ideas.
