Sorry friend, you're screwed...

[Grey]

Somehow I don't see this paladin getting out alive. Somewhat doubtful about myself too...

Edit: Hah, I survived, and the sun paladin gave me a helpful few turns of distraction whilst I stunned and flamed the orcs. Hurrah for escorts! Alas that Beledatira did not live to see my noble victory...

AHAHAHHAHHH

I'm laughing SOOO hard !

[Shoob]

I had a similar situation with a lost warrior, fortunately both me (an archer) and he both survived...

[Final Master]

I noticed that escorts can still push past you. Also, are they not taking the most direct/shortest route anymore? I've had them vere WAY off course to chase after honey trees lately...

[Gwai]

They've always gone way off course to chase monsters, in my experience.

[Gobgar]

Some of them, recognizing that I am a skilled Elven Archer, decide it is a great idea to step in front of my bow while I am firing at a distant creature. Consequently there is a hilarious message in the quest failure log that I could not protect the escort from myself.

The danger of multiple personalities..
