• NPCs that wish to be escorted will respond to the following commands:
• “Destination” :: he will announce his destination.
• “I will take thee” :: he will announce his destination and follow you.
• You do not have to say the NPC’s name to get his attention, merely saying the command while near him will suffice.
• You may only have one escort at a time. Townspeople requesting escort will not travel with someone who is already escorting.
• If you attempt to escort a second NPC, you will be told, “I see you already have an escort”.
• You will have to wait five minutes between each escort.
• If you attempt to escort an NPC before this time passes, the NPC will tell you, “You should rest from your last escort before we set out on this journey.”
• Escorts will let you know approximately how much time you must wait before you can take another escort again.
• Should your escort get stuck, saying “Destination” again will usually get him to resume following you.
• Escorts may disappear if you take too long to bring them where they want to go. Saying “Destination” every five minutes or so will help keep them around.
• At low levels of fame, you will gain fame from succcessfully escorting an NPC.
• Wandering Healers seeking escorts will not resurrect a ghost.

• When a Noble or Seeker of Adventure is attacked outside of town limits, they will call “henchmen” for assistance.
• Henchmen that can come to the aid of a Noble or Seeker of Adventure will have increased fighting ability. Some will use archery.
• The Noble or Seeker of Adventure cannot be killed until the henchmen are dealt with (killed).
• Henchmen will carry some of the gold from the noble or seeker of adventure as payment for coming to their rescue.
• After a short time, the henchmen will leave the noble or seeker of adventure and return from where they came.
