I created a hostile genie in attnam, and all the shopkeepers came out to fight it. However once he was vanquished he didnt return to the library, he is now standing outside the library to the left of the left door guard. This is causing him no to see me so i cant trade with him. any suggestions for getting him back in LOS so i can shop again?

Booooooooooo!

I don't know, but this gives me an idea that if you offer alcohol to a guard, then they get into a drunk state and stray from their post. Until they are discovered by the master guard and told to get back to their post.

I have had it happen a couple of times before and it is a drag. It's really a bug. I'll have a think of some ways to fix it.

That was my thought as well just concerned it would make the town hostile. Checked in wiz mode it doesnt. Also a wand of door creation would probably work as well

Wands of door creation piss off the town, I found that out when I was messing with mustard gas and trying to get something next to Petrus to throw a grenade at.
It's probably to prevent you from walling off the guards for the final showdown.

I'm also like 80% certain I pissed off the town trying to throw sulphuric acid at a wall. It might depend on whether the impact of the bottle actually causes damage to the wall's HP.
I don't remember why in particular I was trying to break the walls in Attnam but I do remember making a point of using a wand of acid rain for the job in the end.

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.

I just tried it in wiz mode and neither the wand of door creation or the acid made the town hostile. you are saying a wand of acid rain will work though? what if a townsperson walks into the acid rain storm? will their damage make the town hostile?

second question, does teleporting items out of a shop count as stealing?

The cathedral operates under its own rules. You can't use door creation in there.

this just got weirder. I tried to kickrob some stuff i had left on the doorway prior to the librarian getting displaced and it told me this would be vandalism.

Booooooooooo!

BUT I can tame the guard at the door to make him follow me and the librarian will then move to his correct location in the shop and all will be normal........UNTILLLLLLL....I kickrob the shop and because i am not paying attention i hit a hunter with a scroll making the whole town hostile.....FUUUUUUUCK> I managed to loot the library anf make it back to the GC, i guess the only way out for me it to beef up enough to kill petrus.

Booooooooooo!
