Recall Stones and Caravan and Death - Animayhem - 01-13-2014
Prior to the setting reboot, if a caravan was attacked and you were unable to get back inside, you could run away and use your stone. Now you can not.
I am aware that it is better to travel with others but many times this is not possible.
I am also aware that it is good to wait for a bit to have the driver weaken the attackers and attack from a distance like using a bow or the missle stone.However the last two times Caramiriel was attacked and died. Although close to the caravan entrance she could not get inside as the enemy had himself and the driver blocking it. I ran away and tried to use the stone but I got a message saying powerful magic prevents the use. I was saved by the friends. Again I was attacked and
delayed my entering the fray I managed to weaken one of the attackers and was circling around to enter the caravan when all the sudden I was hit . Anyway I died and fuged (my first time).
I respawned quickly after seeing the dirver had made no head way. I was asked to return to where I died, but ended up in the city rather than behind the caravan.
I did the mad dash of summoning horse to get clothes then the bank to get gold.
I boarded a caravan and luckily it got stopped and my driver was still fighting the bandits and managed to kill them and I was able to get my gear. I wonder if because I left as the fight was continuing the van stopped where I died.
Regardless of what my actions should of been, several times I was able to distance myself enough where I could of used the stone and thus saved myself two deaths.
Yes stones are expensive and yes the multiuse not unlimited but should be allowed.

I agree with the part about being ABLE to use recall stones during caravan rides.
I just don't see why you could not, especially when some caravan rides spawn things that you can't handle.
Though I'd imagine it has something to do with scripting.

Just my guess, but allowing someone to recall out would also allow them to set a stone on a caravan. Not that there would be any reason to do so on purpose, or that accidents wouldn't be easy to avoid, but it could create problems if it did happen. Also might I suggest saving the caravans for when you're in a group, and taking the road when it's just you? As illogical as it sounds, it's actually safer that way.

You can't set a recall stone to a caravan or ship since they are moving locations. But I'll change them for the next server reset so they can be used to portal out of those places.

Thank you Thayan!

I have lost two characters that way either on the caravan or boat, and could not get my gear back, I had to delete them. Having the choice to portal out would be so much better as returning to and fro between port or city either on boat or caravan can be expensive and you have to rely on being stopped again at the right place to get your gear back.
Thank you Thayan, this would be a great help to all of us that spend a lot of time lone playing. :D
