This is the bug.
I am pretty sure the FE + LE combo is what *almost* got me, I did see one
boss with those.  But it could have been the 'triple whammy' for all I
know for sure.  There were at least three bosses and their packs.  All
'big' boys in the River of Flame, heh.  Urdars, Blood Lords, and another
pack of Urdars.  I think it was one of the Urdar bosses.  I didn't even
have time to see all their mods before it happened, there were too many
big monster bodies all bunched up together.

Deja Vu all over again.
