Warden: Battle cry (acoustic attack, anti-cheese)

To prevent players cheesing the Warden by pillaring up or digging into a wall or trapping him in a boat or just drop a couple of chickens to distract the Warden, the Warden should be able execute an acoustic attack, like a battle cry. He should use the acoustic attack

- when he can not reach or pathfind to his target
- when he receives signals from more than one mob
- sporadically

The battle cry causes damage to all non-deep-dark mobs whereever it can be heard. Like all sounds in Minecraft, it goes through walls. The amount of damage is independent of the armour a mob wears, but depends on the proximity to the Warden. The effect of the battle cry can be reduced a bit, if a mob or player is fully enclosed in wool blocks.

    There are two separate potential sonic/acoustic effects I'd love to see the warden have:
    1. Hypersonic Blast - the warden cranks its echolocation clicking to 111, unleashing a percussive wave of sound that can knock players back and damage them. Similar to the Half-Life mobs known as Houndeyes. Additionally can cause random blocks to break free of the ceiling and fall on the player.
    2. Infrasound Resonance: creating vibrations at the resonant frequency of the rock, temporary partial liquefaction makes the ground permeable, causing players and other mobs to SINK. Only if you're moving will you be able to stay aloft. No waiting it out in safety; you'll start to suffocate if you sink past your eyes!
