Small children can, with patience, untangle ropes and a lot of knots, so it can probably help out. If it can mend things, that means it can work a needle and thread at least, so it could unravel rope if all else fails. There is no apparent limit on the complexity of a command sequence, it must have basic senses and decision-making abilities or it couldn't tell when things were clean andmove on, and it must have enough of a "program" to understand commands (presumably comprehension-of-casters-language skill 10). It takes a LOT of programming to make a household robot capable of a tiny percentage of the things an unseen servant can do. As for attack rolls, you don't need one to saw through a board, chop carrots, or hit a dirty patch on the floor with a splash of soapy water - all well within the abilities of an unseen servant. Why should sawing ropes be any different from sawing wood?Unfortunately, because the caster was grabbed, knocked out, etc, before he got the chance to issue any such commands and can't issue them now, the point is presumably moot.</blockquote>
