Escort
From UO Lost Lands Wiki
Certain NPCs act as quest NPCs, which will ask you to take them to another town, or dungeon. These NPCs are always stationary and waiting for a player to approach them. If you say "What is thy destination?", or simply "destination", the NPC will respond with where they wish to go. To accept the escort, type "I will take thee".
Upon arrival at their destination, the NPC will reward you with some gold and possible fame.
Some escorts may carry rare sandals on them. If you are inclined to evil, you may wish to murder the NPC on the way to their destination, and take their valuable clothing. This will result in a loss of karma
