Throw Bomb

I'm Xon. This is in the Grushnak pride, which no longer looks anything like I remember!

OK, we can start with "Why does a *fighter* have Throw Bomb?" And then we can follow that up with "How much damage did this friggin' Throw Bomb *do*?" (Death damage never gets logged.)

Is it normal for me to take ~1000 damage from an alchemist in the Grushnak pride, which as I recall from the last time I was East, was dominated by melee opponents?

And what's up with berserkers casting Dimensional Step?

Is it still the infinite damage throw bomb bug (from explosion expert level 6)?

Indeed it is! This got "fixed", but apparently incorrectly . So, here's how to fix the fix (also attached):

Every odd level (1, 3, 5, etc.) of the Grushnak pride is a meat grinder... err, barracks level, with elite minibosses that have a random assortment of abilities akin to randbosses, same as the exit areas in the other prides I've visited. A room with 3-4 of these in close quarters, at least one of which will as a general rule of thumb, have Battle Call to teleport you to a nasty area. You got one with alchy skills. If not for the infinite damage bug, would probably be one of the easier classes to deal with.. AI doesn't play Alchy too well from what I've seen.

The end of this story is even more bizarre. It turns out, the alchemist that threw the bomb at me wasn't content with a single death. He inserted himself (and his golem) into my save file with infinite health, causing the file I had saved on Friday to be unloadable when I returned on Monday. So, I was killed (post-Blood-of-Life) by the ghost of the same orc who did me the first time. Cyber-vengeance from the grave.
