The really wrong this is that the npcs are just standing their blissfully
ignoring the orcs. It's like the wandering healers that just stand there
when you're fighting some monsters. They really need to add an AI to make
them act somewhat as you'd expect - either run away or enter combat
themselves. Why not give the npcs in such areas the AI that the pixies
have? Oh well.
