[.915] Quest Bug - Troll Slayer Quest spawns extra fight

from Elemental Forums

I have had this happen in both games with the new patch. The quest where a hunter asks you to kill a troll that slaughtered his men...after you kill the troll, you are immediately thrown into a second fight with a group of bandits and mages. There is no explanation for this encounter. If it is intentional there need's to be an explanation of the second fight.

yup.  happened to me in my first game.  got the anouncement about the weapon i'd earned and then was thrown into a second battle with some bandits (an archer, a melee, and two magic users)

Incidently, if you lose this second random battle, which is common, you are credited with completing the quest and you get the loot, but all your guys die and there is now an angry army of baddies on the map.

The quest actually says that the bandit has no money. He can't pay you. BUT.

You notice he has an enchanted broadsword.

 

So you start a fight to take it. Probably not a bug, but could be better worded in the flavour text.

I'll have to look again, but I don't recall the wording being that way. I thought it said he offers it to you.

I got this one too. I think the bit about the guy not being able to pay you and thus you attack him is correct but missing an option.
