Expected: Hamstring would initiate combat timer.


that makes it difficult to navigate. A thick and dangerous bramble
of thorns grows profusely at the edge of the path, making ascent
impossible save for a singular path that meanders its way across the
wood. A round knot in the wood forms a ledge here, forming the only
flat area on the ramp. To the north, the ramp continues to ascend while
a steep descent downwards the ramp meets the forest floor below.


(Red Aura) Cuoi the felar is here, fighting the Huntress.
A cunning female centaur with a mighty longbow stands guard here.

The evergreens here seem to rise higher and lean over the pathway
more than they do in other parts of the Forest of Prosimy. The
overhanging tree canopy is extremely thick, allowing no light in, and
even light within the forest seems to penetrate no more than inches of
the thick, inky darkness which surrounds you. The forest here is
extremely quiet, devoid of the sounds of wildlife and birds which
permeate the majority of the wilderness. The forest seems to continue
in all directions, but you find you cannot judge it well.

A single, huge tree rises above its peers here, wreathed in a ramp
of living thorns.

You use your agility to evade someone's poison darts!
You yell 'Help! Someone just attacked me!'
No way! You are still fighting!
Cuoi has a few scratches.

I can't reproduce it, so not much to look into.

Unless something's changed, the combat timer doesn't kick in until you swing back in melee or take a combat action (ie, throw).

In that log, the assassin was hamstrung, and fled before a melee round. So the combat timer wouldn't (and shouldn't) have started.

Person swings the fang of a lion in a sweeping blow to your hamstring!
Person's hamstring slice MUTILATES you!
You flee from combat!

hide
You are still breathing too hard to hide.

You parry the Huntress's slash.
Your pierce hits the Huntress.
Your pierce grazes the Huntress.
The Huntress has a few scratches.


Person swings the fang of a lion in a sweeping blow to your hamstring!
A spray of blood erupts from your wound!
Person's hamstring slice wounds you.
The Huntress has a few scratches.

You flee from combat!
You fled down.

hide
You are still breathing too hard to hide.

Separately, I also checked and saw the combat timer applied on each hamstring without a melee round happening.

Couldn't reproduce it when no combat was involved, or like the original post where a third party hamstrings me while I'm attacking the Huntress.
