WHO: My little sheepdog attacked a far madding guard at random today, the one you get for four crowns from the mistress near Emonds Field.
WHAT:
This resulted in a warrant because I was grouped with said pupper and was now associated with a violent dog breed.
WHEN: probably 10 minutes prior to this:
It is 3 o'clock am, on the 2nd day of the month of Nesan, year 1564.
According to legend and prophecy, this is the First Turn of the Wheel.
The Shadow grows stronger as Teveyl is raised as a dreadlord.

Bug: Sheepdog attacks Far Madding Guards
Moderator: Aureus
Re: Bug: Sheepdog attacks Far Madding Guards
Several pets have this happen (generally pets that can assist you in combat), and to the guard mobs in several cities. I believe it has something to do with the guards doing mobol checks on players that have a potential result in jailing the person (e.g. wearing dark-eq inside Fal Dara).
The small black dogs that several petshops sell will also do this.
Your best option is to stick with trained falcons if you need an xp partner that can also do some amount of attacking, otherwise leaving the dog outside of the city limits (I believe it can also occur on the patty north of the FM city gates).
Fun fact: the Far Madding petshop used to sell said small black dog, which was quite cruel as the FM guard's are quite active with their mobol checks and there was a good chance the lowbie who purchased the dog wouldn't make it out of the city before this happens to them.
