Maltese knights in the crypt are prone to the following bugged chain of events (experienced this twice):
Setup: Kill monks. Examine body. Get one of the thieves. Thief takes money and starts to run away. Kill thief.
Then examine thief skeleton's body. Sometimes, he rolls becoming one of those stubborn killer resurrection (the grunting, let's fight again dialogue), kill him again, now examine the body. Three bugs result from this chain of events:
1) (unsure if this part a bug) You don't recover your money.
2) he becomes some kind of a standing dead body you can't interact with. The body also doesn't have the money, even if you care to lose the rep by murdering a defenseless corpse.
3) All future bodies resurrected until you leave the area just stand there in the same way. I lined up 8 standing corpses in a row this way.
Now if you save and reload the game at this point, then there appears a single walking corpses, in my game he was named Edward Seth, and he just walks around without doing anything.
Not sure how I am supposed to counter thief monks--maybe I will try a thief knife rather than killing them. Or maybe burying gold in a grandmaster chest, and then digging up periodically. Or leave the crypt and hand money to a companion now and then.
Or are you supposed to lose the gold, keeping you from profiting too much from the monks? Given they give around 7k a kill when they decide to be friendly, that would make sense I guess.
