Mallador Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 In one of the Slot Machine missions in St. Martial you have to defeat all of the Devouring Earth in a small cave, collect four jewels (chests), and then escort High Roller out of said cave. However, when you try to escort him he loses you if you go farther than a few meters--a little less than the distance my character is away from him in that picture. It seems a bit short compared to other escorts, no? Could be a feature since he's an "old retired villain" basically, or it's a bug, but I just wanted to check (lol).

Retired Lead Game Master GM Kal Posted August 5, 2022 Retired Lead Game Master Share Posted August 5, 2022 You seem transparent in that pic. Is that dark shadowfall or cloak of darkness? Any active stealth will reduce the follow range for escorts. Just turn your stealth power off as you lead them out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallador Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Oh ok, wouldn't have guessed that ally NPCs would be effected by that. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth affects all NPC 'followers'; the ones that fight alongside you (i.e., Doc Delilah in the last mission of her arc) have a higher perception but any NPC following you will get 'lost' if you get too far from them. You can take advantage of this -- in missions where I have to rescue several people and lead them out, I'll whack their guards and leave them there, stealthing past them until I've dropped all the guards and am at the hostage deepest into the mission, then turn off stealth as I head out, gathering them up as I head back to the door.

starro Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 In the older days of the game the escort mission out of a circle of thorns cave was a real p.i.t.a.

Cinnder Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He's also trying to follow you up a hill. Goodness knows even the slightest incline can completely flummox a following NPC. If they don't get stuck in the terrain, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
