ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hi,

I'd like to suggest a slight "quality of life" improvement.

It is well known that one can miss an escort when entering a level (e.g., because of a full room or no path to portal). That might not be immediately obvious.

But when you enter level 4 of Reknor, have done all the relevant dungeons and have less than 9 escorts, you must have missed one somewhere. At the moment, you will need to try all relevant dungeons to locate the missing escort. Since all these dungeons are (probably) cleared, that is just boring work. Go through all levels of Trollmire, go through all levels of Norgos, ...

My suggestion: When you enter level 4 of Reknor or maybe whey you enter the far-portal room, why not give a message like "You have a feeling that someone in <Dungeon> needs your help".

how about merging all of the escort quests like the alchemist quest?

whenever you portal, or escort is spotted within your field of vision, an appropriate message is added to the quest.
"there was a random portal in the X'nd lvl of Y"
"A 'Z' has been met on the X'nd lvl of Y"

and when you finish the escort it becomes
"A 'Z' has been escorted through X'nd lvl of Y"
"You have lost a 'Z' on the X'nd lvl of Y"
"You have refused to escort 'Z' through X'nd lvl of Y" (the option is there, alright?)
