First time i was carrying 3 people, 2 ninja jonin and 1 bandit boss. Upon loading all 3 were no longer being carried and both ninja were suddenly standing and walking away.
(droped some spare wepons, they fought me, then i sold them)
Second time this happend was when i had to re-load due to a crash just after a big fight.
The crash happend 5 min after this big fight and i was able to loot all the gear of the guys before any of them got up. However after the re-load, 2 of the 7 decided to get up and fight me again.
I dont think Chris meant to do it, but there is now necromancy in the game
