Weird issue with GROUP 04/10/2017 08:06 PM CDT
When using GROUP to add people into our group while hunting, we noticed something very odd that resulted in a death. Despite being grouped before the open cast spells were cast, this character was hit by those spells despite being in the group. Any clue why this happened? Here's the log:

YYYYYYYY just arrived.
Arshwikk adds YYYYYYYY to his group.
YYYYYYYY basks in the glow of the sphere.
A pair of putrid arms basks in the glow of the sphere.
A bloody arm basks in the glow of the sphere.
A look of concentration briefly passes across Nairdin's face.
Nairdin seems less resolute.
A bloody arm thrashes about briefly before decaying into dust.
Maetriks's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.
Nairdin tosses his head back and howls loudly as swirling wisps of mana flow out of thin air and into his mouth...
Nairdin gestures.
A warm, scintillating glow surrounds Nairdin and those nearby.
The warmth works its way toward you, and your shield arm feels much more nimble.

A pair of putrid arms quickly snatch at YYYYYYYY, dragging him down before retreating into the dirt!
... 1 point of damage!
Loose arm hold.
Nairdin tosses his head back and howls loudly as swirling wisps of mana flow out of thin air and into his mouth...
Nairdin makes a complex gesture.
A warm, scintillating glow surrounds Nairdin and those nearby.
An ethereal peasant strides toward YYYYYYYY!
Glowing with ethereal energy, an ethereal villager strides toward Zyllian!
An ethereal traveller rushes toward Ylandra!
Glaring menacingly, an ethereal villager leaps toward Maetriks!
Glaring menacingly, an ethereal commoner rushes toward you!

An ethereal traveller strolls toward Japhrimel!
Glaring menacingly, an ethereal denizen leaps toward Ragz!
An ethereal villager leaps toward Arshwikk!

Arshwikk speaks a quiet phrase in flowing elven...

Ondreian swings a finely honed rolaren khopesh at an ethereal villager!
A hit!

The ethereal villager stamps in silent annoyance.

** Ondreian's rolaren khopesh surges with power as crimson radiance coalesces around it! **

>mstrike

Yarrious intones a phrase of elemental power while raising his hands...
Arshwikk gestures at an ethereal villager.
Arshwikk closes his eyes for a moment as he slowly raises his hands to shoulder-level. You hear and feel a resounding low thrumming sound just as hefty clods of dirt and rock fragment from the earth, savagely assailing the area!

Its really the log of the victim thats needed. Too much that affects group status has no 3rd party messaging, so you have to have the victim's log to know what was affecting their group status.

It looks like they did something that broke them out of the group just after they were added to it. Then a fraction of a second of lag and your Grasp stops their run away command, and they are dead before the RT is up.

Grasp does that to me often in Nelemar, come into a room, try to move on, and Grasped before my move order takes effect.

There has been some oddness going on with groups as of late - there was a post about it in General Roleplaying. (Most of it seems to be people staying in groups when they shouldn't or being grabbed again when the leader runs past them again - like leaving the room doesn't seem to remove people from a group.)

Not sure if that was investigated yet, but just bringing it up.
