Getting assaulted by unlimited waves of guards

[GagneWest]

I am playing barbarian and I am trying to keep it thematic and anyone that rubs me the wrong way gets sliced up, that being said I will be roaming the streets in act 3 and come across a group of guards that want to imprison me so I click the attack option because they don't really pose much of a problem. When I finish killing them a random second wave of guards spawn right beside me and combat instantly engages again with another group of guards and it just keeps continuing until I manage dip out. Is there a way to pay a bounty or raise my rep again with guards?

No, but you can always use your weapon to make things disappear. No witnesses and all, you know. Roar?

I don't believe they're infinite, but you do have to cut your way through every guard in the area if you don't flee or kill all the witnesses.
On my evil playthrough I killed every guard at the entrance to Baldur's gate, didn't want to waste time with getting permission to enter the city.
They're also solid XP.

For some reason I'm a criminal now and every guard in Faerun wants me dead, I kill the group, suddenly 4 new guards literally appear out of thin air.

I had to load a save from HOURS back because it's literally impossible to do anything when you're in combat 24/7

what happens if you teleport your group back to a waypoint?

I think that spell to disguise your group should work ...
change your group to 4 dwarfes and that's it. It is only cosmetic !
There is also a cosmetic set to be bought or a scroll to do that , but the spell for the whole group is the best ... and when you have cast it, you could change it as often as you want

And also somehow the guards stop to search for your group after 1-2 minutes real time ...

just place the hidden group , in a house CLOSE TO THE PLACE, where the "offense" has been and you will see the guards are searching and give up after a time. With stealing it works 100% that they have forgotten everything and you could walk around normal .
With murder I don't know.

If the roundbased fight has already began, you need to flee (retreat) that timecounter only works in realttime

You cannot teleport, when roundbase has started and time will not count down, when you are too far away or on a different map ... it only worked for me, when I still have seen the guards or victims on my screen, but I was hidden somewhere (roof, inside house etc.) They even ignore your other party member, if they haven't triggered roundbased encounter (too far away from killing or robbery)
