I'm kinda new to this quest stuff, and was hoping that some one could point me in the right direction/forum. I've been trying to make a quest were you escot a npc to a specific location inside of a dungon. Well I have the npc and the dialog. I'm not sure what the Action line would look like.I haven't found any examples of an Escort quests. How do I specify the location where I want the npc to bo escorted to? and when I accept this quest, the npc just stands there, how do I make the npc follow me ?

take a look at the katarquest.xml and katar quest.npc examples.
To create an escort quest, you would give out a questholder that had an ESCORT quest objective.
You would also need to spawn the talkingbaseescortable and give it a destination by assigning the destination property with the name of the destination region.
The talkingbaseescortable is like a regular baseescortable but it works with the quest system to allow ESCORT objectives to be satisfied on reaching the destination.
Then the player would escort the npc just like any other escortable npc.

Hi. In order to make the destination a specific location within a dungeon, you will need to set up a custom region at that location and use the name of your custom region (in the quest objective) instead of the dungeon region itself.
I use the Custom Regions In A Box script found on the RunUO forums for this purpose. It works. Here's a link to that script, if you don't have it already:

that tag on the talking escort guys, quick question. the destination tag on the [props, is that the "region name" and if so is that case sensitive? And if I wanted to set up escorts that they have to pull around and what not, do they give a reward like standard escorts, or use the base escort file in any sense.
thanks in advanced.

yes, I believe the the region names are case sensitive.
The talkingbaseescortables behave just like the regular escortables, so they will give gold reward when reaching their destination just like regular escortables.
