Good thought, but I was not. I was playing the game just as downloaded. If it is relevant I am on an m1 mac mini 16GB RAM, running off an external SSD. At first I suspected some kind of rollover bug, but even if you were using a signed 8 bit int (for some season) 119 still wouldn't roll over into negative.
I don't know if this is relevant but I also had to defeat two different bosses twice. I would get the quest to do it, go defeat them, come back deliver the item, and then a few steps later I would be told to defeat that boss again. I honestly don't remember if the dialog supported that, but it felt odd so I wanted to mention it
