From Draak: Fix one of the sounds for shardstorm. Add an ending sound for sanctuary. Minor 'gather' command updates. Remove the aggro/suspicion checks on the thief 'case' skill.

Alter Aeon server updates for Apr 10, 16 A bunch of DClient/MSP sound updates from Draak. Re-enable the 'ventriloquate' spell as obscure. Make dark objects in storage lockers always visible. From Shadowfax: Add list switch for consumable. Add list switch 'type', which is followed by an object type either as a single or compound term, such as 'typeweapon' or 'type weapon' (either with a space or without). Add list switch for 'quality', which is then followed by the quality type such as 'wellmade' or 'mastercraft2'. (The option of just using the quality word still exists, but this allows searching for the 'exceptional' quality.) Greatly expand the vocabulary of existing list switches. Minor string addition to objects command. Allow drinking while in watery terrain. Minor fixup to strings for various jobs. Ascend/descend leave strings for rising and falling terrain. Add level 37 thief 'evasion' skill. Make escort specp work in instances. http://bit.ly/1VKpyOT
