Wonder if this be a bug.... :)

Hi all

I'm quite new to the game, only on L8, and I'm wondering if this is my first bug. I'm doing the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller quest, and I fired an arrow and killed one of the 3 bandits you first come across, and when I went looking for the other 2, I found all 3 of them dead! I can't find any record of this bug, or can 1 arrow kill 3 people?! :blink:

So, I reloaded at the same point, shot and killed a bandit again, and this time the other 2 came running after me. So, the first time my arrow either went through all 3 enemies (how cool would that be?) or - it's a bug! :confused: Unless anyone can throw any further light on it? It's my first bug you see, so was interested to find out.....

Even weirder...when I go to find the body of the chap I shot with an arrow, all I find is an ash-pile with his belongings in it....eh??? :smile:

Ah, ignore, found the body! But what's with the ashpile containing items and clothes??

More likely there might have been another NPC or creature nearby and there had been a fight prior to your arrival.

As for the ash pile, that happens when a mage resurrects and dead NPC and is subsequently killed. The resurrected NPC then turns into ash.
