Aloth has disappeared!

[crutchy]

Hi,

 

 I finished with the game last night and restarted today. A big surprise! Aloth has gone! All is left is his spare gear  and potions etc. in a big pile on the ground!  He was there lat night.   My party is in Cliaban Rilag Level 1. Has he done a runner if so where to!

 

Oh no!

If his gear is on the ground and he is not part of your party anymore, it sounds a lot like he has died (permanently). Is it possible that you didn't notice that, saved the game and just discovered that he is missing after reloading today?

 

You could of course check if it is possible to recruit him again through the screen where you manage your party composition.

That is seriously weird. 0_o

 

Have you done a bug report? Aliens aren't supposed to abduct Aloth.

I checked out at the nearest pub and he is not there. He has gone with a damn good stave and armour. If he does not come back soon it is a flogging offense! You cannot trust guys with pointed heads.

Pointed heads?  Didn't notice he had a pointed head, though I am a fervent believer that Pillars needs Pointy Hats, and lots of them.

Sounds dead to me, you might need to revert to an earlier save.

 

Sometimes some traps can effectively one-hit-kill party members even if you have the 'maimed" option on because they'll hit twice in rapid succession.
