Weird cleric of fire

[Mirerazai]

Well, I went into UM, did part of the Isthisia quest, couldn't finish the second half by myself, and when I came back with backup, this happened. It killed us both, not sure what the cause of the bug was, but it really messed us up

Sorry, I know it's a lot of spam. But trying to give as complete a bug report as I can. thanks! And sorry if I screwed up the game somehow. >.<

I have seen this before, too, but I am not sure how to reproduce it.

Hi, I have been a victim of this bug just today.
Maybe I can shed some light on it.

Doing a quest in Zass sewers, I was required to drag a hatching ibrandil out of its room. The exit was 'Tunnels' which apparently does not exist when trying to drag stunned mobs, thus killing the quest. I then tried again by initiating a fight in which I then fled out of the room. The mob chased me, so I thought I was good to go. However, the new room had about 6 wererats in it. I believe the bug started right at that point. All the mobs engaged me, including the one I ran from. I killed them, stunned the Lurker, but because of its fireshield, the combat would not stop. This had happened a few times before and I had to run out of the room to stop combat. However, this time I received the message that I was not in combat, but I clearly was being attacked by the mob's claws every round, even though it was stunned.

Code: Select all

<95%hp 0m 67%mv> 
There are too many people fighting for you to join in.
There are too many people fighting for you to join in.
You step back out of the range of an ibrandlin hatchling's jaws.

<95%hp 0m 67%mv> 
flee
You aren't fighting anyone.

<95%hp 0m 67%mv> 

There are too many people fighting for you to join in.
There are too many people fighting for you to join in.
You narrowly avoid an ibrandlin hatchling's claw.

Also notice that I received a message that there were too many people fighting for me to join in. I received that message when trying to attack the mob as well.


I was able to hide, but the loop kept on going and did not force me out of hiding. I tried to Walk out of the room, but I received a message that I was still in combat.

I think it has to do with the number of mobs you are in combat with at once. After a certain limit, you cannot join in the fight, but the mobs can still engage you in combat. Thus locking you in a weird loop where you cannot leave the room due to the mob fighting you, but you cannot hit the mob because you have exceeded some numerical limit to how many you can fight at once. Perhaps fireshield is also causing another fight count to be added, thus compounding the issue.

I was not able to quit because adrenaline was pumping. I tried using the Kick command to start the fight up again on my side, which did not work. I finally quaffed a potion of recall to get out of the room.

I should also add the weirdest part.
Wererats entered the room during this issue, and I was able to target and kill them even though I was still fighthing too many people to attack the original mob.

I would guess that if you tracked down the code that spits out the message that you are in combat with too many people to join in, whatever is creating that situation to trigger that error check is where the bug will be found, or at least the logical bug that leads to the error.

I attempted to reproduce this in several locations, to no avail. Assuming I'm doing it right, it has a low percentage chance of occurring. I do hope to scope out the parameter space in which it occurs - Zorinar, were you alone the whole time, not grouped?
