This is exactly why I, personally, don't use it that often. Finding a spot
like this is tough to do. Whether it's random wandering mobs (even lower
level one's) or guards or bugged zones, any AE song could be dangerous. The
only place so far I've found to use this is fighting Broon. His spawn is
safely out of the way of any wandering mobs. I suppose in MM, I could
convince the party to fight in the middle of the GY so I don't affect any
mobs on the other sides of the walls, but I think they'd give me evil looks
the first time we picked up a train standing out there. : )
