Code:

> flee
You ride XXX east.

Sandy Beach
            The black sand of this beach seems to soak up all the light
   bb~~~   around you.  It's partly cloudy, cool, and windy.  
   bb*~b   
   yybbb   
           
Obvious exits: n e s w nw ne sw se
(Charmed) XXX is here mounted by you.
Run away!  Run away!
A roc soars in from the west. <---------------------- What?
A roc strikes suddenly, slicing at your chest!  You see your GUTS!
You sure are BLEEDING!
A roc slices your left leg, shattering your kneecap!
Your left leg goes NUMB!
You sure are BLEEDING!

Doesn't seem right.

Could being mounted have anything to do with that?

Just bad timing, or bad luck, whatever you want to call it. I've lured in NPCs that were 2 rooms away and had them instantly attack me before I could move with a stacked command. Sometimes NPCs just cheat.

NPCs seem to move oddly. They move like 2 rooms at a time, then pause. Having used MM and bows quite extensively...

NPCs will go from whatever the 3 rooms away message is to the 1 room away message. And from the 4 room message to the 2 room message.

On this subject ... is it normal for a volatile mist demimental to track me from inside the crossroads haven to somewhere between Teron and Exile?

Thankfully it didn't follow me into Exile, but I was surprised to say the least when it kept turning up on the eastern trade road whenever I stopped to catch my breath.

Seemed a very long distance to keep tracking to me...

I think you have to get like 20 or 30 leagues away from it. If it is chasing, you have to keep running to account for the distance it is traveling after you. If you don't go fast enough, theoretically, it could chase you from Everclear to Menegroth.

I think they should hunt faster.

Just because you're an expert at bailing, doesn't mean the rest of us are.

I have had things literally chase me all the way across the map before, what I do when something I can not kill is chasing me, if it isnt flying I run to the ocean and idle a while, then log out for the day.! NPCs can seemingly track forever, if it is flying there really isnt any getting away from it. I had to keep running once even over the ocean untill I could log out!!!

Recalling works as well.
