Killing Drakes in the Anthill area, Malos fails to mention the obvious that I
clearly overlooked myself....

Malos (party): dont kill wrong drake :)
You are prepared to do the skill.
You prod Malh in your attempt to kill it.
Malh rubs its head in pain.
Malh throws Malos!
*****************************************************
Malh gives Malos a tail-slap on the legs.
Malh smacks you with its tail right in the gut, knocking the wind out of you.
*****************************************************
You punch Malh making small marks.
You score a CRITICAL hit!
Grinning diabolically you pummel Malh just below the chin.

The lesson here is clear.  Malh is no match for my kung fu.  Also, when
fighting animals, make sure the names are different from pets.  Thank you and
good day.
