I wonder if we should flag summoned monsters, and killing monsters you
summoned has some detrimental effects? Actually, we can probably already do
this, since I imagine the owner of the summoned monster is tagged to the
player. (note this doesn't fix a problem, but it just seems wrong that
characters can kill monsters they summoned and get the full benefit from it.)

Maybe we can put in a quick check, and only give monsters their treasure that
is invisible or of type ability? That way, they would still breath, but
wouldn't give anything to players when they die.

New release probably within the next week or so.
