What do you mean by "core dumping my autorun script".
Try running your debugger "gdb bin/circle lib/core" in your mud dir.
Also, I have no idea where the brag snippet is. Maybe you should have
included the code where the npc gossips.

I am guessing that they are gossiping with each others names and that
that was done after the extraction of the mob.

in limits.c: gain_exp():
add "if (IS_NPC(ch)) return 0;
you probably dont want the message of gaining exp to be sent to the mobs
either, so in fight.c, in functions group_gain(), perform_group_gain(), and
solo_gain(), add "if (IS_NPC(ch)) return;"

You probably want "if (!IS_NPC(victim))" instead of the first line there,
which makes it log whenever the KILLER is a mob.
