But...
What happens next?! You'll just have to wait until I can type it out!

But I do!
[hide="What Will Happen"]
Everyone Dies.
Especially the friendly npcs.

Unless the sun didn't die but was instead blocked out, or perhaps magical means keep habitation possible. But just because of how it is interpreted doesn't make it the truth. Also, being cut open with a sword multiple times with a sword would take months to heal if it ever did fully and would most of the time kill you >.> Pure Realism >< fun in most fantasy games.

Familiars and animal companions are known for doing the same thing, statistically I see it the most from panthers out of my nwn experiences.

It is because darkness is a hostile AOE spell and if you hit them and they don't have aggro on something else they will attack you sometimes.
