My apprentices are dead!!!

I am a sorcerer and when the sphere became mine I was visited given some apprentices to give tasks to. Well, the first two tasks went fine...I would visit the sphere from time to time to check their progress. The third and last 'project' was a powerful spell that they were going to create...yes it was going to be dangerous...etc.etc. Well, I got busy doing other stuff and didn't get back to check up on them for awhile. When I finally got back there...they were all laying on the floor DEAD! No explanation! Has this happened to others??!!

They die if
a) You give them the most difficult task(Ring of Protection, Meteor Swarm)
b) If you choose something the third time(You have to say it's all to dangerous)
c) Or if they say it will take 4 days...

If you choose the hardest of the three items for either of the first two tasks, a single apprentice will die. If you choose either the first or second item in any of the three tasks, there's a chance an apprentice will die, but also a chance that all will succeed, and you're likely to get the item. If you choose the hardest item in the third task, one of the two things will occur: either all three apprentices will die, or two will die, and you'll get the item. Note that you won't get the third choice item if an apprentice has died in either of the two previous tasks.

Try going back to a previously saved game, and reload right before you give that third task to your apprentices. Choose the third item again, and maybe you'll have better luck, this time.

Shrylia, no matter what you do, the third and last "project" always kill one (or all) of the apprentices, since I can find the ring, and spell scrolls are all over Amn, I rather have the XP that we get for keeping all the apprentices alive.
