b20b - Green Worm Mass won't die. Has negative hp!
My archer is in Korpul and sent a scatter shot into a room full of money and monsters and started picking them off from the hallway with her bow. A particular green worm mass obstinately refused to die. I hit him easily, and the game keeps indicating, "Melisande killed the green worm mass!" but its hp just go continuously more and more negative. Also, the stunning never wears off. Every turn it says it dies, but it remains there, with more negative hp, and the stun counter doesn't tick down, staying at "Stunned (6)".

It just happened again in the Rahloren camp with a white worm mass. This time I didn't even do anything but shoot it normally, and it's at negative hp, and does not move. When the worm masses are like this, you can even go up to them and try to heave them, and they won't budge!

I've seen this bug myself with a different character... the text log stated that I killed the worm mass every turn but it was still there. Got no exp and couldn't be hit by it but the mass wouldn't actually die.

I've seen this a few times as well, also on worm masses. Just ran into the reverse, though: a worm mass in Ritches Tunnels that has 84 HP (1292%).
So far, I've only seen this behavior while worm masses are using Multiply. Gotta wonder whether there's a race condition between things that modify life (regen or taking a hit) and the npc cloning used by Multiply...

Doubly strange - the 84HP worm mass just died from two archery shots: 10.7 physical + 6 acid + 10.7 physical. Possibly a different bug, then, since the displayed life wasn't the actual life.

I just had this same problem in Daikara with one of those white drakeling things. So far I've been lucky enough to not have them get stuck like this on top of stairs or anything important.

When you encounter a bug it's very helpful if you can copy the contents of the stdout.txt file from your ToME directory. This will usually include information that explains the source of the bug, making it easier to fix.
Re: b20b - Green Worm Mass won't die. Has negative hp!
Um, if it'd help, I've got both a save and an stdout.txt of this happening, but from back in 19. Just tell me what to do with it.
