Escorting merchants.

How do I get the caravan to go into the city I'm escorting them to?

I haven't done this quest in Warband but is used to be that you talked to them just outside the city and the quest would finish.  They used to walk to you if you just waited.  I don't know I'd have to test at home though, so somebody will likely answer first.

Just go talk to them when you're close enough to the city and the quest will be completed.

What Gufnork said.
1.  After taking the quest and exiting the city, talk to the merchant, "Follow me," dialogue.
2.  Go to target city, often waiting for El Merchant to catch up.
3.  When the merchant is close to the city, he will automatically, "enter," as long as you spoke to him.
4.  Go to quest giver and receive any further rewards.

Also, if you forget to talk to the merchant as you leave the city you got the quest, he'll still follow you. You'll have to talk to him twice as you reach your destination though, since the first time you talk to him will be the introduction, even if you're at the destination.

Thanks guys, talking to him worked. It's a bit annoying though because I wasted 10mins of my life running in circles around the town trying to get the merchant to go in.

Caravan Guard: "Who is that guy?"
Caravan Master: "He's our escort."
CG: "What is he... doing?!"
CM: "I... errr... well..."

That is so funny

You forgot:
CG:  "Well, we made it, and in one piece."
CM:  "Yes.  It was a good escort.  We didn't even lose any good."
*awkward silence*
CG:  "So, why don't we go inside?"
CM:  "I'm waiting."
CG:  "For what?"
CM:  "To be told, "It's okay to go inside."
CG:  "We can't wave down the escort and go in?"
CM:  "Nope."
CG:  "Umm...why not?"
CM:  "According to the Trade Guilds charter, we have to be approached first.  It's against union by-laws."
CG:  "So, we just sit here.  We just can't go in and send a messenger or runner to tell him, "Thanks, it was fun.  We're all safe now, you can go."
CM:  "No."
CG:  "Because it's against union rules?"
CM:  "Look, did I make the rules?  Whose paying your salary any way?  Don't you have horses to feed or some thing?  Besides, it looks like he's tiring.  Maybe he'll come over and talk soon."

I just can't stop myself from imagining the scene of a party circling the town with the "Benny Hill" theme playing in background.

Oh, and this.



Sorry, OP! It's all in good fun, ain't it?

 

[racaloo]
