Merchants. Did not look at quests. Probably need to unload their quests on death to clear the temp variables. I know how to check if they are loaded. Not sure how to unload. Its probably fairly simple. Only a five min fix. But 2 hrs of work to find where to put.

bigger issue at hand:

the merchants should not give EXP and should not give faction hits or gains and should not ever drop a corpse.

they currently do all 3.

please fix to merchants poofing after death and not leaving a corpse and not having any faction hit/gain and not giving exp for kill.

No, in Velious, merchants could have a corpse. Note, that only a few do leave corpses. One example is Petcas Coldbeard in thurgadin, for the reinforcements of tunarean regiment quest. Classically, he dropped the ancient rusted key. After Velious, they changed merchants to not be able to leave corpses, and moved that drop to Guard Halldor.

Another example is Marlin Shirtov in highpass drops the dark shackle key.
