This has happened several times. I'd say roughly 10-20% of my bandit hunts. In a nutshell, the bandit is killed and it does not count for my assigned bandit task.

I do NOT get messaging ([You have 1 kills remaining.])
I type BOUNTY to double check, the count does NOT go down.
It happens when I kill it myself, it happens when others have killed it (but I have hit it).
It happens alone, it happens in groups.
It happens when I use a weapon (I use sonics with my bard, for the record).
It happens when I use 1002 and do damage (not just dropped weapons, but actual damage) only OR with other hits. (I posted about this awhile back, didn't see a response on that one).
I verify (over and over) that I'm in the right location for the task.
It happens when 2 bandits appear at once, and one will count but not the other!


This is becoming extraordinarily frustrating, and I can't imagine it's functioning as intended in this case. Help!

It sounds like you know what you're looking at it and it could be a bug. Does it happen with 1 out of 3 bandits who jump you at the same time or only on individual bandits? The reason I'm asking is that there is a chance you wander on to a different map and/or attack other people's bandits who are far enough outside of your level that you don't get credit.

It's definitely the right place. Two appear, I kill two, one counts (as an example).

Post a log of entering the room and killing both?

Is it the special instant death outcome on Bone Shatter that is not counting for the kills?

This is a bard issue, haven't had an empath issue yet. It happens with sonic weapons and with 1002.

I think it can also happen with cleric's 302 when they get an insta kill.
