Pathing The Fabulous Four in Dagnor's Cauldron

[Sorn]

Sigan Ilbirkun's path when he escorts players back to the pass and where he stops is incorrect. Some of the NPC behavior is also incorrect for all four.

Pathing

P99
He paths closer to the water's edge and stops at +1083, -136, on a giant boulder in front of the pass entrance.

Live
This hasn't really changed since implementation in classic. Sigan paths right up to the pass entrance and stops at +1200, -140. I don't believe he makes any turns.

The dwarf escorted me to the BB canyon entrance just last month. Me being a dwarf paladin with good faction may have helped.

Behavior

P99
All four will dogpile on anything they see.

Live
Only Sigan is guaranteed to aggro anything. Watching them on live, he's the only one who goes after anything. When he's not there, the other three stand around, allowing mobs to go by unmolested. This is backed up by old comments on their Alla entries (see below).

Nyrien and Elmion will both heal Sigan at 60% hp (Healing and Minor Healing respectively). I kept trying to train Sigan to get him way below that to see if the others assisted, but that turned out to be impossible because the goblins did not aggro the Fab Four on their own, so Sigan was never up against more than 1 at a time. Mobs were also very scarce. Sigan can take on a tidal lord on his own with the other two healing him, so yeah.

Nyrien does not appear to heal anyone regardless of their health.

I've spend some time look at them, the dwarf MUST be on the camp to atack any mob, if you need help from them and he's not there better find him quickly.

In my experience you have to take the mobs to the dwarf in the group to have them attack something. I always see him somewhere attacking and the rest just standing around the fire

I had a Tidal lord on me and i ran to them all they did is let me die!!! and i have seen mny times a goblin walk through there camp they dont even touch him whats up with that?

These guys do not attack everything that crosses their path. Several times I dragged monsters to them like I was running to guards, and they came through for me. I bound myself there. I died in Unrest, and was immediately slain by a bosun after I spawned and the Fab Four just pulled up some beer and pretzels and watched.
