"You've captured their stunt doubles!"

[Nimbostratus]

Interesting bug here. Kinda helpful too.

While busting Count Haringoth out of Teramma Castle's prison, I noticed that the archers were shooting at something other than me or the Count. Looking by the castle doors, I discovered a man dressed like my character standing there doing nothing but catching arrows with his face. My stunt double was knocked out by the archers, but I was able to fight on and escape with Count Haringoth. Upon returning to the world map, I saw that my health was low as if I was just defeated.

I exited without saving and tried the prison break two more times, and my stunt double was still there for each. He also remained after fully exiting the game and relaunching.

Has your game updated whilst you were playing on this save?
It's very likely that the new updates for warband caused some trouble with saves from the previous version.
