Check the alignment for you and each NPC and they should be in the same range. Alignment can be affected by fighing on the open range. But some NPC will not let thier alingment go any higher.

If inventory gets too high some NPC will slow down. I've seen Virgil moving at 2 after he picked up extra armor in the Vendigroth Plains. Use Strength of earth on NPC if the load goes above moderate.

Remember the F keys can be used to force a fight or to stop a fight.

If an NPC is crippled by a trap or some creature put a major heal on him ASAP. Virgil may be able do this.

Locate Stillwater before going into the BMC. Teleport to Stillwate to put extra items into your dresser at anytime. Also save items for the Blessing quest and Qintarra found in the Wheel Clan mine and elsewhere.

Don't do anything evil or some will get mad. Don't attack anyone inside a town unless your inside a building. Tell anyone who will have a negitive reactionj to wait outside. Magnus is especially bad for this.if you can let the NPC attack first or let the creature attack first to avoid making a NPC angry.
