What do I do when..

I'm on a quest to escort "Soldier A" back to "Soldier B" but Soldier A dies?

The quest does not restart.. it seems to go on. However, I never got to test my theory, because on the way back to "Soldier B", I was followed by 30 Devourers and Gargoyles, that they swarmed "Soldier B" and camped the shrine where I repsawn at.

I was at -45% and dropping. I'd spawn and instantly die again.

Yes, there are a lot of bugs to iron out of this game, heh.

What do I do if one of the main characters in a quest dies?

no bug at all

go back to the city and it will reset and you can do it again
as many times as you need to before you get them there

Isn't it a bit odd to you that stuff like this happens, though? :P

Yes, but then again it`s only a game.

*Waits to be thrashed with the olive branch*

*Lifts Olive branch like a barbarian and goes to town on Whaleman*

BLEEARGH! FEAR THE OLIVE BRANCH OF +1 IN OLIVE REGENERATION!

Erm, sorry about that. Yeah, I just find it odd how when the main character suddenly dies... and the game seems to go, *Shrug*. Heh.
