Summary0005347: Saving freezes mummies and makes them invisible
DescriptionSaving outside of a tomb is just fine, but if you're far enough inside to have triggered it walking around (even if you haven't run across it face to face yet to receive the boast), saving will turn the mummy invisible and freeze him on his current square. You'll have to lay prone to move through that zone (if he was standing when frozen), and he won't be viewable/interactable in any way. He can't wake up and reappear as near as I can tell either.
Steps To Reproduce1) Enter tomb.
2) Go far enough in to ensure he's up and moving (I believe taking any item from in the tomb is sufficient)
3) Save

If you want to be able to SEE that you've reproduced it, wait until he's visible and do the same, you'll be able to confirm quite clearly that there suddenly is an invisible impassible man where the mummy once was upon reload.

This is also, btw, probably the reason that people are unable to come back with new characters and find mummies in tombs after being killed by them. The save after death is making them invisible and frozen.
