Severely edited most of the even remotely IC info out..

I have noticed this quite often, and is quite easy to reproduce.
But shouldn't taunt be cancelled once the taunter is killed?
And why does it stop you from travelling when you enter a room with another NPC in it?

I would be make some goat stew. Did you hear what it said to you?

I've never had this happen to me.

This has happened to my swashbuckler (in the past) quite a few times. No surprise here.

Why so disappointed though? He's giving you free boosts to melee power.

I don't mind so much the boosts.
Its more the fact having to wait for the affect to wear off or killing poor innocent beasties just so you can move on your way.

This happens to me quite often.

If I just killed someone who was taunting me I don't think I'd still be angry at them. The taunt seems to me should fade once the thing died but what can ya do?

The rough part, according to the log, is:

Swashie taunts you.
You slay swashie.
You move on.
You see sheep.
You're too angry at sheep to move on till sheep is dead.
...or you tick.

Is it possible to make taunt a concentration-hold skill with zero concentration required while maintaining the timer?

You kill the swashie who taunted you, but you still are ticked off that he compared your sexual prowess to a neutered sloth. You see a sheep and you do unspeakable things to it until you feel level-headed, then regret your choices in life.

And commit suicide by slamming your head against the ground repeatedly.

See I always thought that you get unlucky after killing a swashie NPC and the taunt doesn't wear off before he comes back from dead, thus your away from him, but still have the taunt status up
