| Sometimes when NPCs run away, they'll be back a few days later in the spo where you dismissed them. I haven't been able to detect a consistent pattern, and I'm not sure why it happens.
For example, in one of my games I left Khalid and Jaheira in Beregost and did the Nashkel Mine quest without them. (They stayed there when I dismissed them; they didn't run off.) When I returned to Beregost, they were gone. I thought they might have left because I did "their" quest (the Nashkel Mines) without them. But a few days later when I came back to Beregost, they were back.
Here's a suggestion. Save your game, then take your party to another area. Rest once or twice just to kill some time. Then return to the spot where you dismissed your NPCs and see if they're back. It can't hurt to try. |
