I: Intro
What is an escort quest anyway: Well, it's simple: Where an NPC joins you and
you have to "escort" him or her to a certain location. Sometimes close,
sometimes far.
Sometimes they are smart and will run away from enemies, sometimes, well, not.
Escort NPCs come in all shapes and sizes, from little kids to warrior maidens
to sheep.
This guide will help you distinguish one type of NPC from another.
It's my goal here to assemble a list of every escort quest in the game - so
you can figure out whether the person you're escorting behaves like Pvt
Rincarn, or more like a little kid.
We've all stumbled upon those annoying NPCs that run into enemies and make you
get an ugly red X on that otherwise perfect quest log book. My job here is to
let you know when an NPC could be trouble, so you can run to the destination
as fast as possible, or if they don't take damage, in which case you can keep
doing whatever you were doing earlier. No reason to drop everything for a
silly NPC anyway.
Q: HOW DO I HEAL AN ESCORT?
A: Use a potion. It will automatically heal you + all your escorts.
How can I help? You ask (or maybe not. Hopefully so.)
I may be missing a few quests here and there (especially in Acts 3 and 4).
If you guys remember a particularly annoying quest you don't see here, please
shoot me an email at chocomog4000[at]yahoo[dot]com.
Contributions will be recognized and appreciated.

II: Notes, and how to read this guide.
How to read this guide:
First line is the NPC name. This is pretty obvious.
Second line is the Act he/she is found in.
Info: is generally some background info, or my personal opinions on the NPC.
This may or may not be accurate given the storyline, frankly I don't care too
much.
Invincible: Determines if the NPC can die/take damage. Generally if this
happens, you fail the quest. Exceptions are noted otherwise.
Hits: Whether the NPC will hit random enemies.
Location: The area where you can find the NPC. Note that this may be different
from where the quest is given.
Random notes:
Story escorts can't die, so I'm excluding those.
Also, ALL escorts can die if exposed to T-energy pools, even the ones marked
invincible by other means. Watch out if you're around those.
One odd bug:
Certain escorts, if exposed to T-energy, will start attacking enemies. They
return to normal once you heal em, but for awhile they hit enemies and can
be hit. I've seen this happen with Jana and Milk Weed, which leads me to
believe it only affects those with weapons.
Well, here we go:
Useful escorts:
If you want to make your own little army, you probably want to fill it with
people who won't die easily, and can dish out some damage. Here are some
possibilities:
These escorts do damage and are invincible:
Tame Bear (Sloeford)
Hansi
Ambul
Officer Willybald (You can kill off his soldiers if you wish)
Gnarler (ranged)
Gelminy (Ranged)
Commander El-Darrags
Guardian of the Forest (ranged or melee)
Note that if you have more than 5 escorts in your party, you won't be able to
take on most quests. You'll have to get rid of one first, so choose your army
carefully.

look at this guide.

"decline" his request. Accepting leads to sword use, while declining leads
to him using a bow. Thanks to astrosha for the info.

ScoobyDouche notes: "bear in mind (pun intended!) that when he grows up he
will start fighting with you, but you do not get xp from his kills. also he
will constantly cast some spell that doesnt seem to do anything but make a
very annoying sound, over and over ....
oh and once he grows up you cant get rid of him, even if you complete the

Seeing as it's really hard to keep track of that many weird Lizard names, I'm
going to collectively refer to
all of these as "Lizardland". Feel free to contribute if you know any
specifics.
Besides, I can't imagine anyone seeking out any Act 6 escort quests. They're
nightmares.

have the worst setup (you start surrounded by hostiles), it's considerably
easier than the other lizard escort quests because they GIVE HIM MORE THAN 12
HP and he doesn't try to KILL UNDEAD WITH HIS BARE HANDS. The other lizards
could take a lesson. Note that he can still take damage/die.
