Speaking to the Sibayad slave master as a slave removes your owner.

Post by HeroWithYay »

Description:

If a slave that was captured in Anundor speaks to the Sibayadan slave master, this converts them to a Sibayadan slave. This may be intended, but what is certainly unintended is that this also removes the owner.

This happens by surprise on clicking the NPC, with no warning or dialogue options for the player.
This can be exploited to instantly remove an owner without them being inactive for 30 days, and without a request to DMs. This allows players to then pay two million to free themselves in a situation that would not usually be possible, and is currently being used as an unintended chainbreaking method.

It is likely that this bug also works in reverse, speaking to the Anundorian slavemaster as a Sibayadan slave

Steps to reproduce:

Be a slave captured in Anundor that HAS an owner. (If you did not have an owner, this behaviour would not change, but would be intended)
Speak to the Sibayadan slavemaster.

Expected result:
He should either refuse to speak to you, or he should provide the usual list of slavemaster dialogue options.

Actual result:
He treats you as an unowned slave and immediately claims ownership of you, deleting your current owner.

This bug should be unaffected by platform.
