#10537 #10536 [windows] Whirlwind cast by baddies onto the party is bugged

1. Start a new HoW game with the default party.
2. Ensure that Party AI is turned OFF.
3. C:CreateCreature("djinni")
4. Wait until djinni casts whirlwind.
5. ctrl-y (kill) the djinni
5. Heal your guys with ctrl-r to keep them alive and wander around.

Observed:
Whirlwind will follow whoever it was cast at even if they walk away from the whirlwind it will follow them. I have trouble keeping my guy alive after he's been locked onto by a whirlwind, but I've healed my guys quite a bit and the whirlwind never goes away until the guy is dead. Perhaps there's an issue with the "must hit 8 targets" before it goes away since the party without summons is 6.

Expected:
Whirlwind is supposed to randomly wander around according to the description. This is actually the behavior you get out of whirlwind if you were to create a druid and cast it on a party member, for some reason when the AI casts it on your party it tracks that initial target until you are dead.

There's also this:

This was more of an issue on insane but the basic problem is, that the stupid whirlwind attack continues to deal damage in the cut scene when you defeat the dragon form and especially on insane this quickly ads up. Did I miss something to ward against it. It took me quite a few tries to survive with all characters.

The duration is also insanely long and deals huge damage over time.

So not sure if it's the exact same issue but your characters shouldn't take damage and die during cutscenes
