Count Cristoff Won't Die

[CGman]

I understand he's undead, but this is a bit much...

(don't worry - I reloaded my game and beat him again with no such issues, so not such a big problem.)

Also-

speeding up the battle does not speed up the descent of new spiders in the Maw, making it a disadvantage to do so (characters tend to miss attacks more charging at not-yet-there spiders).

Speeding up the game is disadvantageous in LOTS of places for similar reasons.

I'm sorry that you've encountered this problem CGman
I thought that I had fixed this issue before release, but evidently I was wrong. I'll try and figure out what the heck is happening here and fix it.

Edit - On the speed issue, the higher two speed settings were intended primarily as a fast-forward mechanism to help conclude easy sections of a battle quickly.
Numerous movements do not scale with the game clock and those that do, do not scale proportionally. The main effect is that characters just act more frequently.
The expectation is that using the higher speeds during critical moments of combat will indeed be disadvantageous.

TSE1 aslo had this issue, eh?
