If we're down for the count and there is only one critter on us/in the room, could they wander away instead of beating us like there's a gang of them there until we're actually dead?

No. Please think. Why in the world would they do that.

IC: Do we as adventurers do this? Not even close. The intelligent ones, why would they not kill us when we actively hunt them down and slaughter them wholesale? The non-intelligent beast ones, hey, gotta eat. Maybe they should continue to attack us (eat) when we're dead.

OOC: Hunting has to have some negative, aka RISK. Death is the risk you take. Regardless of the number of mobs you are attacking.

Some do. Snow goblins, gargoyles, and celpeze come to mind.

I can name quite a few more that mutilate bodies.

Kartais often nip off bits (hands in particular I think). Germs will snap your neck or just rend your entire body (External wounds EVERYWHERE).

... hmmm both Rigby critters. Coincidence?

I don't know if they still do, but, at one time wind hounds would drag your dead body from room to room.

I seem to recall if you die alley thugs will loot your corpse.

True/false?

And if true... Yet another Rigby monster. So evil.

If you mean take your items, that's gotta be false.

I believe they'd just go through your stuff and take random gems.

Anyone wanna go die for science?

Already certain this is accurate. I had it happen to me recently (within the last few months).

Grendels rip chunks of flesh off dead bodies and eat them, and long ago in another body a frostweaver kicked my corpse into an adjacent room, leaving my dropped sword and shield behind.

Scavenger trolls will actually take items off your body, and not just weapons.

One of them took a friend's leather mask off him once and he never saw it again. It was a feature hider and he had to assist to get his face fixed.

TC thugs will loot any gems you leave on the ground if you're dead or in hiding. They don't last long though because the janitor is on speed in there.

Scavenger trolls seem to favor head gear. I lost 2 or three cowls in there, and I think a pair of tanned gloves once. Sucks cause you can't go kill the one that stole it after to get them back like if they put it in there pack or something.

I think that's supposed to be possible.

Supposed to, yes...but unless you're hunting with a group, or help arrives VERY quickly in that rather outlying area, the troll with your stuff will despawn rather rapidly.

If you manage to kill it you can get your crap back.

That said, a friend of mine dropped his bonded glaes sabre in there when he died, a troll snatched it within seconds and despawned less than 30 seconds later.

He got it replaced fortunately, but uh... Yeah, scavenger trolls are buggy and will take your crap.
