suiciding trolls, anyone??

Twice (almost a 3rd and 4th time as well), I've had trolls nearly dead with my flaming arrows. So what did they do?? They walked straight out into the ocean and drowned themselves. No troll skins, no gold treasure, no nothing. And yes, far too deep to retrieve.

Anyone else had this disappointing result?

There is a point where the NPC health drops to a certain point that if not in Melee they will try and run away. I figure your Trolls got confused and pathed out to sea.

Interesting. I've seen trolls walk into the ocean but never just to die. I didn't even know NPCs can drown.

Abominations do the same when hit with enough fire arrows near enough to an ocean.

Funny. It looks like they are scripted to know that being wet _should_ suppress fire DoT. Except that I am not sure that rain suppresses fire DoT.
