A white-painted bench is here.
There is an old street-lamp on the border of the street.
The corpse of *a Man* is lying here.
A woman stands here carefully guarding her village.
The Gatekeeper stands here, leaning on his cane.
Bonive the Bear is standing here.
A sturdy pack horse is standing here.
The shadow of *a Man* is floating here.
A young man stands here carefully guarding his village.

You begin to move silently to the back of your victim...

As Bonive greedily kneels down towards the corpse, the icy grasp of a shadow
stops him!

A shadow whispers 'I won't allow the looting of my fallen body!'

A shadow makes a strange sound but is suddenly very silent, as you place a
ceremonial dagger in its back.
You receive your share of experience.
Good job!
Your blood freezes as you hear a shadow's death cry.
A shadow disappears into nothing.

Any ideas what happened to the BRD and gold in corpse? If somebody else looted, is there a reason I would not see loot being removed from the corpse on the log? The best thing I can come with as an explanation is that an Ainu purged the corpse of contents. I game-mailed Staer, but he's remove the mail without a reply. I wanted to send him the log, but I think he is not interested.

Sneaker orc looted it...
Faine2005-05-24 10:20:32
I have seen same thing many times. Nod sneaker looted but none has fixed that bug yet.. evend did once corpse shadow and during it sneaker looted self but i saw nothing, just shadow dissapeared
AndrĂ³g 2005-05-24 10:34:43
Damn Unknown and Faine beat me to it. :P

Anyway, seems its so indeed. It doesn't show when the sneaker loots.
Mazza2005-05-24 14:03:55
I love the way that you instantly think of the most implausible outcome, that some Ainur was watching and purged the corpse!
Minkle2005-05-24 17:57:37
Mazza: No, I did not "instantly" think of the "most implausible outcome."

First, I looked over this log many, many times trying to make some sense of it.

Second, Ainur cheating is far from implausible--you are very naive to think otherwise.

Others: Thanks for your explanation. The bug should be fixed. It's kinda stupid.

Sogard 2005-05-25 09:18:43
If you don't know the sneaker is in the room, why should you know when he loots an item? I know it's a bug, but high sneak/hide/steal should make it possible to loot and not be noticed. It's that way in a few other MUDs.
Unknown2005-05-25 10:50:44
Well Sogard, imagine you standing at the corpse of a killed enemy, and suddenly he is naked :P MUST HAVE BEEN AINURS !
