ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've found in all my most recent characters that there was no Yeek Wayist and always a bit of loot laying on the ground when I reached subject Z. In my most recent game, when I entered lvl 4 of the Ruined Halfling Complex, the door to Subject Z's chamber was only two steps away from me. On my first step, I saw the door 'explode' with a burst from Pyrokenesis. When I finally got through the door, Subject Z was already right next to the Yeek Wayist consumed in shadow. This proved to me my suspicion that Subject Z was attacking the Yeek Wayist as soon as I entered the level, instead of when I opened that chamber door. Considering how weak the Wayist is compared to Subject Z, this bug basically makes the Wayist completely unsavable.

What class were you playing? I've noticed this once, on a doomed I think, but otherwise it's been behaving as it should and waiting for me to open the door.

I've seen it recently on archmage, mindslayer, solipsist, and at least a couple other classes. I've also been playing yeek, cornac, thalore, shalore, and maybe something else.

Had this happen to me as well; opened the door and the wayist was nowhere to be found. I can only assume this is what happened, unless he just didn't spawn at all.

I had this happen when a teleporting ghoul rare teleported near Subject Z
