Scouting Mission

[Crombell]

"This is a military exercise, nothing more."

Why do your military "exercises" include traversing half the continent, a bunch of overpowered bandits, a chimera, a cyclops, an entire legion of hob goblins and a DRAGON!? (drake?)

Seriously, keeping Mercedes alive felt like guiding a infant through Sen's Funhouse. She can't even drop down ledges.

edit: took a screenshot to remember the occasion.

That tiny dot at the bottom of the minimap, behind the dragon, is Mercedes. Yep.

You can also put a Port Crystal at the destination and just teleport there with Mercedes... :p

I believe you can also carry her as you run away from everything. Just stock up on meat and keep pounding it down your throat as you run.

I did this mission almost immediately upon arriving in Gran Soren. Hadn't found a port crystal at that point.

A good suggestion.

That was a mistake, but at the same time gave you an adventure :) Things like these are what made me love the game in the first place and now when I talk to new players I can go "Yeah, one time I did this lol, it was terrible" :D

That is true, yeah.

On a side note: I was really confused when I arrived at the Fort. I only just did the goblin invasion quest thing yesterday afternoon, and had no idea of why I couldn't get in.

The alternative, and best solution is really to hold off on most the escort quests until late game. With the exception of a few early on, they're optional and are just there as a way of doing some free-form missions instead of just hunting things.

As you go through the game, having cleared the quarry can give you a much safer passage east.

I don't even know what the quarry is, but I'll take your word for it.

Haven't dared try an escort mission since the scouting incident.

Not to mention shorter :p

You don't even have to go near the Drake.

Also daily reminder that Mercedes belongs to me.

I dunno man, the hellfire grove (or whatever that area was called) seemed like it was right in front of the Fort.

Besides, I was already running from a cyclops and a bunch of hob gobs (the chimera gave up on the chase earlier), and didn't really have time to consider my options on where to go.

there is a lake there. Drake is to the left, if you go around the lake on the right side, no drake ;)
