Here's a funny one for you. I have a merchant caravan I'm trying to escort, but it keeps running from me! :???:

Here's the breakdown.

Quest origin : Uxkhal Merchant
Destination : Halmar

So I talk to the caravan leader and tell him to follow me. It is a very short run so I thought this would be easy. Little did I know as soon as I headed for Halmar he ran the other direction. I caught up with him and told him to follow me again. Off I go again....and off he goes in the opposite direction. I catch the caravan again and tell him to stay, then talk again and tell him to follow. Figure that was worth a try. Still running from me. Almost like they think I'm attacking. I attached a picture that shows my party list and a highlight of the caravan.

Do they not like my party? Is it too big and scary? Or did I stumble on a bug?

Ok...I have a little more info. It appears that even after I tell the caravan to "stay where they are" and move, they start running from me. I've tried Saving and Quitting. I'm not sure what more I can do other than try to "push" them to Halmar. Only thing is, I'm halfway across the map now! This is kind of funny. I just wonder what this is gonna cost me. :???:
 
Yes make them run away into the direction of Halmar and then talk with them.

it must be a bug, but I've never seen it happen before. Just think of it as a a very rare job :smile:

Ironically I actually did it. Took a while. I felt like an airplane circling the runway. :grin: I had a Vaegir deserter party of 33 attack me, but luckily the caravan stood still. Definitely an interesting way of escorting!
