ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'm experiencing weirdness in the Arena with an Alchemist, somewhat like this thread, it's just hung on me, possibly as my golem levels up, tho not sure.

My previous Arena alchemist (the immediately preceding character) was even weirder: After entering the arena I switched to golem control but then couldn't switch back to my alchemist. Alt-space brought up the switch character menu but with no entries. Right clicking directly on the alchemist tile did not offer the switch to option. Clicking on the alchemist tile in the character control panel had no effect.
When the golem died, the game was over, despite the messages saying "Switching control to [alchemist]", and the alchemist being at near full health.

Hello,

this is a game bug! I have found that most times that if you save and exit game you can then return and take control of alchemist!

I am playing a dwarven alchemist on the insane difficulty level! for me I have used it to my advantage simply by leaving my alchemist behind and exploring! (works well in areas where golem is allowed to go on to next area without alchemist! Although it will prevent the escort quests from appearing so you should check next area using alchemist first!) Also, do not pick up any scrolls while exploring to avoid the error messages!

have not played arena yet so I do not know about that area yet!
