Sergeant at Arms
I don't think the amount of time given for players to bring back Gillaes (or however you spell the dude's name) takes into account the number of troops/prisoners the player has, as well as the possibility of night befalling just as the quest begins (I "rescued" him in the Afternoon, in Feron territory, and by the time I even reached the continent his Kingdom is in, it was already the next day and he was dead). Also, I find the timer to be somewhat random - at one time he could survive reasonably well - until the morning of the next day. On another occasion, he died before it even hit midnight. In the end, I had to resort to cheating, and dismissing 90% of my army, to get him back on time.
Its not that I dislike the fact that the quest has an element of challenge to it, I actually enjoyed searching around for him, what I dislike is the fact that the actual "rescuing" doesn't consider the possibility of the player towing a 100 odd army around him with (since this quest is meant to be one of those "Discover it while you do something else" sort), which most players do.
