Now that I think of it, I think we need a new skill to counteract the new monster intelligence and drive away the masses. Something like FEAR

Mad P: UNCANNY DODGE! a new high level skill, that's it! Not only this will be a very cool
, unheard of, gamefeature but name reminds of some previous century forgotten tradable card game. I simply must have this skill!

Maybe even the wolves on adjacent maps should be alerted?
