There seems to be a strange issue where town guards seem to disappear after a very short time and make running to town for safety from both bandits or roaming dog packs of 10+ futile at best. It also provides the ability to let said groups beat up shop keepers and their minimal guards and then walk away with epic armor and backpacks.

I've noticed this happen not only with the town guards, but also any enemies in the area. A bunch of cannibals invaded the town. We won, and I kept three of them unconscious and locked in a room to use as practice bags. Suddenly, they disappear. So do the town guards.
