No, but it's fun and unique. And it may be problematic if cyclops and 
centaurs are near. Which reminds me: Sirens and Mermaids should of course 
make noise, waking monsters and calling them in. Johanna, what do you

On behelding being a problem: that sure depends on the number of mermaids 
and sirens. With many of them around...
