i was training in the bandit hideout when i reached a certain point (west then north of the trapdoor) where there two bandit captains. i retreated and drank potions and returned, killing one. i retreated, took potions, came back and killed the other one. i was despaired to see another one had spawned when i had returned. exasperated, i went back, drank more potions, came back, killed the bandit captain, and yet another one had spawned. basically, everytime i come back, another spawns, which has never happened before.
just thought i would give you guys a heads-up on it.
