Default RE: Where can you run to?

It was more an issue of using the keepers as meat sheilds than a rp issue. It isnt a problem when you monsters accidently get towed to town and run into a shopkeeper or temple. It is a problem if you are dragging monsters back to a town to intentionally use these people as invulnerable shields while you pop the from behind with a bow. Accidentally dragging them back to town, or being chased is somewhat different to intentionally dragging them back to a town so you can use the (game mechanic) invulnerable populace. This is what the query was geared to, not on the right or wrongs of helping the healers, or the freedom to flee to a town when you are in danger. It was a query simply to see why the ogres were beating on the healer of Aeridin.

On the accidental front, stay and help or run is your choice, though always remembering there can be repercussions if a dm happens to be there. I was in the middle of a quest at the time otherwise it would have been handled more in a rp fashion, with the healer asking what was the idea behind leading marauding ogres to them. In any case my concern was not that you fled from danger, but the use of those two healers as a device to safe kills when we all know that in a true rp sense they wouldnt tolerate such use.
