ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Being able to order escorts to run for the portal without engaging monsters would have often come in hand when they stay to fight as we're getting surrounded and cut off from the portal, and feels thematically appropriate, with the adventurer holding off the oncoming horde while the defenseless/wounded escort escapes.

This could be offset somewhat by escorts ordered to run not accepting further orders to stop, so you would have to be sure they would make it.

Even so, this probably would still make escorts a bit easier, though hopefully not too much, since usually the problem with them is that they already run ahead too fast, not that they're too slow.

2nded!

Or the AI can "run for it" on its own, once LOS is established with the end point.
