The mage was bashed in the round I was killed, so it shouldn't have been able to switch targets...so why did I die?

NPCs switch targets even when bashed. The bigger question is, why didn't you flee at 3%?

Because once the wolf rescued me I wasn't taking any damage, and so long as I kept the thing bashed I figured I'd be okay.

I didn't want to flee and get separated from the wolf and die to something else, I figured my chances were better staying with the wolf and keeping the NPC bashed.

I really hate how the same rules don't apply to NPCs that apply to players.

Also, shouldn't I of at least seen the killing blow strike me?

NPCs are elitists that have read Nietszche's books and so they do not play by the same rules as you do. After years of you usurping their rightful rule they simply put a dagger between your eyes.

It's okay, I had a NPC blinded and had my mount rescue me, only to be targeted by the blind NPC.

I don't think you ever see the hit that kills you.
