Laws of Escorting Quests, as by my friend.
Laws of Escorting:
1: Your escortee is always slower than you. (Not valid when you are near the end, or have finished escorting them)
2: Your escortee is always weaker than you. (Not valid when they are escorting you. i.e. Radagast)
3: Even if your escortee has a weapon, they need you to escort them.
4: If there is a door, your escortee will be able to open it.
5: Your escortee will purposely run into nearby mobs. Just 'cuz.
6: Your escortee will do so (See 6), and blame you for not defending them.
7: Your escortee will purposely stray far away and/or into a group of mobs, making you have to catch up to them, likely causing you to fail the quest.
8: Escortees are required to piss you off at least once during the quest.
9: Yes, your escortee does expect you to accept the reward, and does believe it is worth the trouble.
