Prevents them from attacking

Prevents them from attacking him? More like, prevents them from stopping combat, or am I misreading the video?

Argh. I think I know what's

Argh. I think I know what's going wrong: The bullies have become peaceful when they asked for mercy, but after closing the dialogue window the player finished his swipe at one of them, wounding him, and thus restarting the fight. We may have to make them completely pacifist.

There are more bugs around. For example, killing one bully makes the other peaceful, thus triggering a bounty if the player keeps fighting.

Another bug: If you talk to the bullies before Merdon arrives, then you get the forcegreeting again when Merdon arrives. [EDIT: This one is fixed now.]

Fixed the whole ticket now,

Fixed the whole ticket now, by adding a 0.7 timer after the "we give up" greeting after which the two bullies again stop combat.
