Transferring an NPC captured with Lasso to another PC despawns it instead

Description
==========

If you attempt to transfer control over an NPC that you have captured with the Lasso item to another Player Character by using the Lasso on them, the captured NPC briefly gets transferred, but then despawns instead of staying under their control.


Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

1. Get a Lasso
2. Beat an NPC down to Near Death
3. Use the Lasso on that NPC
4. Use the Lasso again on a PC you want to transfer control to


Expected result
-----------------------

The captured NPC is now under the control of the target PC indefinitely:

"You (...) can use the lasso item on another PC, to transfer the captured creature to the targeted PC."


Actual result
-------------------

The combat log states:

"You hand the lasso to [PC's Name]."
"[Your own character's name] hands you a lasso."
"Lost Item: Lasso"
"You are no longer dominating [Captured NPC's name]"

The captured NPC is now under the control of the target PC - but only for a single second or so. The captured NPC is almost instantly removed from the target PC's group and despawns after a few seconds. The NPC will [Talk] " *runs off* " before disappearing.

Misc Notes
----------------
The Lasso item itself seems to correctly transfer from your own inventory to that of target PC.
