Mulktiplayer + Henchman

This is prob'ly a bug.

Okay, in multiplayer mode here. Picture the scene: the druid (me) needs to escape to the temple and leave the bard (MetalElf) to killing something. They have Tomi and Linu as henchmen. So the druid and Linu and the druid's cat theleport to the temple in Chapter one to get healing, forgetting that they left Daelen red Tiger in there a little while back (they were going to get him later). Lo and behold, they arrive, and the cat has an axe in its skull: Daelen is now hostile. Foeced to defend themsleves, they killed him.

What caused him to go hostile like like this? And now that he is dead, will he come back in future chapters, if so, will he remember his death and attack her again? Or will the druid have to live with the death of a good halforc hanging over her like a black cloud until the end?

Yep, that's the infamous "hostile henchman" bug - or at least a variant of it. It's been on the "to be fixed list" since back in v1.19.

When it hit our group the only way to fix it was to reload from before the bug hit, replay and hope it doesn't reoccur.

I reloaded. And it happened again alright.

Will Daelen be coming back?
