[Eustace the Monk]

The easiest way I found to shake the uninvited leech when leveling staff is to let them follow you around for a few and when you are in the middle of the group in the parade grounds, crank up the staff and fizzle it. They are so anxious for you to ag the group that they immediately do an area attack and get them all on them. Normally takes 5 seconds for them to be sent away the hard way.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping others, just ask first. For instance, if i am on a quest for sinking a specific ship, I'll ask if the attacking captain minds if I take 1 cannon shot at it to count the sink. Half the time they oblige, the other half, I just wait for them to sink and finish it off while they are in jail pondering it.
