Charging and fighting the steed I am riding

[Kent]

I tried to submit this using the normal bug command, but it was too long, so I am submitting here. (My apologies for the three incomplete bug reports I attempted to send.)

You head southwest, riding a dusky gray warhorse.

Also here: a dirty archer (lightly-armored) and [[your dusky gray warhorse (ridden by yourself)]].

My main concern is that the warhorse is now aligned against me...can a GM step in to rectify this please?

Looks from the square brackets like you had targeted your horse. I think that is probably what caused the issue.

[Jaster]

Did you try to target the archer with "target ar"? If so, maybe you accidentally added a w.

[Rithiel]

The real bug here is that the horse managed to charge itself. That's impressive.

[Kent]

Did you try to target the archer with "target ar"? If so, maybe you accidentally added a w.

No, but in fact I'm glad you brought this up...this is what was happened: (1) I targeted the rogue with 'target r' ...so far so good. I then slew the rogue. (2) Then I attempted to target the archer with 'target a'. Looking back, I see a line where it targeted a dusky gray warhorse.

I think the first bug is that somehow 'a' is a keyword for my warhorse and that's how it targeted it. I believe the archer was first in the room, so that makes it puzzling as to why the archer wasn't the first 'a' to be targeted.


Could 'a' be removed as a keyword for my warhorse, and perhaps all steeds ?

[Kent]

The real bug here is that the horse managed to charge itself. That's impressive.

Yeah, and how I was able to reach around and stab him in the chest while mounted. I must have long arms.

[Jaster]

You can't outrun the long arms of the... old guy.

[Kiyaani]

It's because it's "a dusky gray warhorse". It happens if you have two horses in the same stable too.

[Rithiel]

It's because it's "a dusky gray warhorse".

Not anymore.

[Kiyaani]

Well then!
