Merry fools bug exploit

Don't know if it has been posted before but if you talk with the merry fools party multiple times (in the helm and cloack tavern), each time the Maulers of undermountain will be summoned. I talked with them eight times so I had to confront 6x8=48 enemies.

In the end all that fighting force was no match for my solo fighter/mage/thief character. [url="http://oi42.tinypic.com/znoav5.jpg"]http://oi42.tinypic.com/znoav5.jpg[/url]

Welcome to Game Banshee srvk

Sounds like a good solo character you have.

Hmm, never had that happen. Have you used the official patch?

Usually the Merry Fools leave after you have finished the Undermountain group and speak with them again. Doesn't seem to matter if the leader (don't recall his name) gets killed or not.

With the experience cap (unless you have removed it) you should max out pretty soon after that encounter.

Edit: Just saw the pic of the "carnage", impressive! Man, do you have a lot of junk to sell now!!

It happens if you speak with the leader of the merry fools party and select the first reply choice and then speak with him again and select the same reply. But you must do it really quick, before the leader of the other group approaches you and initiates dialogue. You might need to leave your party upstairs and sent an invisible character to speak with the merry fools to avoid triggering dialogue with the undermountain group.

ps: I had the latest official patch installed and no mods or the expansion.
