Last night my rogue and I were calling on andariel. We had cleared her anteroom and were preparing to open the double doors to her chamber, when a boss pack of tainted attacked us. First one, then another, and another came through the closed doors and chased us around the room.
I thought the game was locked up, since I was unable to hit them and their hits registered no damage. I was about to exit the game, expecting to return to my body on the ground, when I chanced to pick up a small pile of gold. Obviously the game could not be locked up if I could put items into inventory, so I took a portal back to town. When I returned to level four, the phantom horde was gone.
Actually the boss and minions were behind the still unopened door. How could the game get so desynchronized as to having them chase me around the level from the wrong side of a door?
