[ddo] patch tomorrow

[setanta at dspsrv.com]

That was good last night, with I thought some tight play at the end to
take that outpost. Lessons learned. Slow plus FBall is a nasty combo.
Sleet storm is a nasty, powerful spell which we should mabey use more.
Hypno pat works wonders against worgs.

Lots of fun, if somewhat expensive.
