It's not completely reproducible, but I have managed to make it happen twice (and not happen 4 times).  From the save:

• talk to rake_chaser
  
• be interrupted by the dandy
  
• end up fighting the dandy, kill him
  
• talk to the rake again
  
• have a zombie be created, fight it
  
• repeat for at least 2 more zombies
  
• quickload that save
  
• BOOM

Note: I think that the dancy should be carrying something nicer than a rusty knife.  The description says sabre, which wouldn't fit PST,  but surely we could equip him with a stiletto?

I think that the dead duelist is too articulate for a zombie, and needs a new dialog for his zombie state.

Thanks very much for restoring this quest.  Do you need any more information than what I provided?

The zombie isn't supposed to ever be created. He's a standin for when a dialogue is supposed to happen with a creature that doesn't actually exist (it's better than crashing the game). I'm aware it's possible to get a dialogue zombie in that quest, and will try to have it sorted for the next release.

Aha, I misunderstood then. Thank you.

Sorry for thread necro, but I have had issues with this quest chain as well. In short, it seems that either interacting with or killing actors involved can create weird problems. Obviously so with death - as that would be far harder to code checks for in dialogue - but even talking to, say, Adyzoel too early can spawn a fight if you don't already know better (aka with meta knowledge of the quest). Without spoilage, is there a way to at least make these characters 'unresponsive' to TNO before the appropriate prerequisites have been triggered?
