Shattered Kingdoms

So the empire guards except having ninja tactics like all the rest, popping out of nowhere, they have water walking now? No PC can swim in deep waters.

And on another note, the ocean west of the mainland are considered empire territory? I thought the empire was east.
And this is a vast area covering Shelys and a few islands people travel regurarly to. Is it one of the emperor's devious expanding plans or a bug?

To be specific, the NPCs can't run on deep water. It may say "XXX runs in from the YYY" but that's just what it says when the bounty NPC first enters the room. If you fly into the next square, they won't chase you (assuming you were able to get out before they attacked).

Yes, that is pretty annoying they spawn out there, though. There are also a few other weird places that bounty NPCs spawn- including on the route to the tower where you can scry. Don't even bother making the trip if you're outlawed in Krychire.

Ocean shouldn't generally be flagged as a kingdom. You should bug log those locations where you see it happen.

Happens over all water east and west of Pyrathia I have seen. Whether it be a trip to the mer city or to Volator they seem to appear.

Again, please bug log each room that you see this happening in.

Or, if you have to leave that room suddenly (as you may well want to do), bug log it from one room away and mention which direction you fled to get where you are logging it from.

Dude, if you want someone to bug log that, you will have a list of about 200 bug logs just of that, and I highly dobut anyone is going to go off and bug log each room.

How hard is it to just go bug empire bounty NPC spawn in this ocean room
when you are going to the spire or anyother area around that area? Answer, not that hard.
