Thank you so much for responding quickly!

I assumed the issue had to do with captain's set and not transitioning through the game. I did try to find a fix for it but no one had brought it up.

If I decide to accept my old pants as a loss and continue with the game, will it not happen again since I'm in act two, or will I need to remove my pants for every act transition until the bug is fixed?

Thanks again for helping! I was going to just accept my pantsless fate until I found a better set! eek
