Not sure how 'balancing' escapes is of any use. So they'd escape a week later, or two. How nice. What should be done about it, is build a side-quest for some people you can imprison. To make the whole prison thing rewarding enough to have and maintain. Maybe a prisoner would know a secret or two that they are willing to share for their freedom after a week of flogging. Who knows... But no. That would be interesting. And therefore it has no place in PoE. Could be that some players miss that 'content'. For me: I had 2 escapes in act 3. Security was at ~42. It was annoying, but realizing that all I could do was maybe release them for a pittance if and when a relative would show up, I did not find it in myself to care too much.

So Sagani has lost her companion in my save. I left her at the keep for most of my playthrough, then picked her up, she leveled up to match the team strength. Then her companion went missing at some point. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I took her up at the edge of the screen leaving the keep, and I somehow managed to leave the keep without her companion being properly summoned? I noticed at the cliffs, which I headed to directly from the keep, that her animal was gone. And he's not coming back, not in transitions, not after a restart. Can neither attach a screen shot nor a save game because Obsidian decided that 507 kb is a good file size limit for the support forum. The screenshot is ~800k and the save game ~3.5MB output_log.txt

So here's what just happend on one of my manual stronghold defense fights: I cast Wall of Flame at some point during the fight. Eventually I win. There is a transition to the "peaceful keep" setting. The wall of flame AOE is still present. Lord Sidroc happens to be visiting and is placed within the wall of flame AOE. He turns hostile and does not move. The fire effect keeps chipping away at him until he dies. Nothing I can do. I suppose it would be prudent to let the AOE effects expire when transitioning to the "peaceful keep" map setting. Cheers
