Yabuta of the Sands

[Samgie]

I found a guy named Yabuta of the Sands imprisoned in Tengu's Vault and released him. I followed him to where he was going but he just ends up patrolling the desert until something kills him. I'd really like to see him rejoin the Yabuta Bandits and terrorize the countryside

[Wraith]

he does it prob because you followed him for me he took out simion and his gang now roam the desert instead of the rebel farmers

[Samgie]

so if I just let him run off and "despawn" he'll join back up with his gang?

This ^^. Following him just gets him killed.

I found Yabuta at the Vault. I unlocked his cage, and carried him out of the vault, and into the desert. I picked a spot out in the middle of nowhere, and set him free. He ran off. So now what? I ran up to Fort Simion. It is still there, the Rebel Farmers still control it. When does it change into Fort Yabuta? How do I know if the World State has been triggered? Do I get a message in-game telling me this?

You know your world state, or you mod in an npc telling you the state. I guess its reactive world that add a "world state checker" npc already.
You won't get notified at all.

Yabuta outlaws would take over Stoat after you take out noble of that town if Yabuta of sands escaped beforehand. You can find chief of Yabuta outlaws in snail building west of town.

Yabuta of sands is under outlaw faction, not Yabuta outlaws, so he can be found again running across desert if nothing killed him yet. You or slave place could get to keep him in cage. If you want more than that for him, workshop may have something.

Thank you. Not getting notified do not seem so good. Yabuta is indeed still running around out there, I saw him run past in the distance and I was surprised. I expected the NPC to disappear when the Yabuta Outlaws appear in game, sort of like Yabuta himself set up the new bandit faction.
