    Whilst attending a Barracoon spawn today, I recalled to Serp's bank to restock on regs. One of my bladespirits must have gone after someone and I turned grey and got guard whacked. Didn't get a screenshot because I didn't notice it until party members mentioned it, but it reported that I was "killed by the tentacles of the harrower"

    The harrowers reach extends all the way to the very guards who protect Britannia's citizens?! This is most troubling news I demand a full investigation by Lord British IMMEDIATELY!

    This is a simple bug in the party system. Rather than reporting the actual killer, it simply reports the last registered killer of your character. Town guards don't register as a killer in the normal sense, ergo this errant bug.

    Also we are working on the reason you got guard wacked as well.

    I think it's pretty obvious at this point.

    The harrower has minions, even within the ranks of Lord British's guards!
