It was just funny seeing a yellow con at lvl 8 derv attack 3 times on pull with it's backstab going off on front for the third. With EQ Mac being down and there being no chance of someone mentioning double attacks or otherwise for newbie mobs, you can leave this stock EQ emu implementation in if you like.

not because they had lvl 20 melee skills

That's no in era evidence at all to me

I can copy and paste his post and change those #s and claim their source as authentic too

Try these mobs on live, at least that's reproducible. Seeing the derv swing three times on pull made me laugh.
