There is a pikeman prisoner at the goblin camp. If you rescue him, he will tag along with the party. If you manage to get him to the cave leading out in the NW of the camp, as I recall he is supposed to say something like he feels his heart is about to burst and then he drops dead, and this has happened to me with earlier versions of Exult. However, this does not happen currently and I managed to get him alive all the way back to the stairs within the cave where he stayed as naturally the teleport at the stairs does not bring him along.

This is when playing the game with the snapshot from 2015-02-01. I have attached a save file at the camp just before getting the pikeman out. This is with Marzo's Serpent Isle fixes, but this does also happen with the game unmodified.

    Hmm, worked for me right now with your savegame. Please try again with latest SI fixes from our download page (not Marzo's page).

    hmm, when you trick a bit by running very fast you can bypass the egg that kills the pikeman and then let him catch up. This way the egg doesn't trigger...

    I always felt this was major stupid anyway. Any change of adding a keyring mod section that disables this and adds some new alternative dialog for reaching monitor with him?

    I wrote Usecode that does this, but it's more of a plot enhancement than a fix.
