Post subject:  Dimensional pockets
This one is sort of hard to describe - but on certain NPCs that have deathrot items, where a character HAS to stun/take the item from the NPC to retrieve the item (some examples are Cain Techt golem, seawatch knights) with out it rotting, there are situations where the NPC will remove this item for a "better strategy". At this point, the item is gone - bye bye, once the NPC is stunned, there's no way to retrieve the item. Here's an example.

A certain NPC has a script that fires off if you enter the room with it.

ex:
A pale green-skinned siren exclaims to you 'Now tgat you've come to me, I'm not ldtting zou go!'
A pale green-skinned siren walks to you and puts her arms around you.
A pale green-skinned siren whispers something into your ears quietly.
A pale green-skinned siren glows with mystical energy!
You disband the group.
Isn't a pale green-skinned siren just so nice?
You now follow a pale green-skinned siren.
A pale green-skinned siren says 'I'll let you go once I get bored witi you.'
A pale green-skinned siren moves herself to position (22:M2).

So, round 2 - I attempt to engage it in range.

At the end of this test, I did find the weapon on the corpse, but as I was informed that it deathrots, that...kinda doesn't help me. but on stun, it definitely disappears.

Well, it DOES deathrot.

I noticed this last night after the update. It's already fixed for next reboot.
