Notes

• When a user clicks "Wait for an Escort" the text "[escortee] has decided to wait for an escort..." appears in the zone and the user is given two options with checkboxes:
  • Don't allow my escort to take me further away from the town: (this is checked by default).
  • Allow the objects in my rucksack to be viewed and used (this is unchecked by default).
• Successfully activated escort mode is indicated by:
  • "[hero] has convinced [escortee] to follow them." line in the zone register;
  • A pop-up reading "[resident] has agreed to follow you."
• Stopping others from following is indicated by:
  • "Finally, [hero] decided to leave [citizen] there..." line in the zone register;
  • A pop-up reading "[Citizen] is no longer following you."
• While being escorted, users cannot view the in-game map or their inventory, nor they can perform any actions on their own, except for leaving the escorting party, attacking others in the zone, gifting hero days, and (if they are a Ghoul Ghoul) eating someone. Once an escortee leaves the party their interface is returned to normal.

What the interface looks like to a ghoul being escorted

• When leaving escort mode, the text "[escortee] has finally decided to take back their independance." appears in the zone register.
• In case of falling due to Wounded Leg Injury:
  • All players engaged into escort are prevented from moving;
  • The escorting player receives a pop-up warning them that something went wrong, advising to address the issue.
