Well, first of all, your attack verb makes the meanie attack itself. Useful for rabid enraged attacks, not so much for normal attacks. src is definitely not the variable you want there. Try passing some target into the verb, like

mob/meanie/verbs/attack(/atom/movable/M in oview())
      damage = rand(power, maxpower)
      M.health -=damage


Hope that helps some.
