just wanted to file the same bugreport :-) my guess the bug is because your mule comes along with you and doesn't run away in the screen before (hunter). Actually he does but the message doesn't appear "your mule has bolted" (or something like that) and he reappears in the boar screen.

Need more information on this one. How did the situation occur in that savegame? From what merkur-kun says, it's because of an actor (the mule) that didn't disappear as it should have in the previous scene? Does that still occur? Can this also occur in the original game (i.e. is it a script bug)?

Yes, the problem was indeed that the mule was there when it shouldn't. However I just replayed the game up to that point and was now unable to get the mule to follow me into the boars' screen. So even though if you restore this savegame the situation still manifests, it seems that whatever led to this problem is now un-reproducible. Might be good to see if merkur-kun can confirm this, but the bug might be gone.

OK, closing then, as this seems to be a script bug. I'll add it to the SCI known bugs wiki page. Thanks for testing!

A year or two ago I spent a while trying to reproduce this. I am convinced this error was due to some other ScummVM bug 12 years ago that allowed the player to somehow leave the screen without the mule bolting, as was described above.
As far as I can tell, both from examining the decompiled script and testing, that cannot happen. Two people were able to stumble upon this 12 years ago and no one has since; that tells me that indeed this was due to a ScummVM condition that was later fixed.
Closing this as not-a-script-bug because that was never proven. Probably should remove it from that script-bugs wiki page I only recently learned about =)
