escort bug 09/18/2017 01:27 PM CDT

Been running into this lately:

<<Halline nods to you and says, "Looking for something to do, Kerl? I've got just the thing for you. If you want to know more, simply ask me about BOUNTIES."
>
Halline says, "I've got a special mission for you. A certain client has hired us to provide a protective escort on his upcoming journey. Go to the area just north of the South Gate, past the barbican and WAIT for him to meet you there. You must guarantee his safety to Wehnimer's Landing as soon as you can, being ready for any dangers that the two of you may face. Good luck!"
>ask hall for removal
Halline says, "You want to be removed from your current task assignment, Kerl? If so, ASK me about REMOVAL one more time to confirm this choice."
>ask hall for removal
Halline says, "Very well Kerl, I have removed you from your current assignment."

[Adventurer's Guild, Office]
Neatly appointed and exuding a brisk, business-like air, the office holds only a trace of the warmth given off by the fireplace in the lobby. An octagonal display case occupies the back of the room, partially blocking the walkway to a sturdy mithril-barred door that takes up a good portion of the rear wall. A tall apothecary desk stands parallel to the west wall. You also see Guild Headmaster Elrith.

>Bounty Task Waivers
[You have redeemed a Bounty Task Waiver, which will expire on 9/18/2017 14:22:30 CDT. You may choose the Adventurer's Guild task type that you do not wish to be assigned by asking the local headmaster for an EXEMPTION.]
>ask elrith about exemption
Elrith says, "You must specify one type of task that you wish be exempt from. Valid tasks are: Kill Creatures, Retrieve Heirloom, Procure Skins, Procure Gems, Protect Traveller, Procure Herbs, Kill Dangerous Creature, Rescue Child, Kill Bandits. You may also specify NOTHING to remove your existing exemption choice."
>Protect Traveller
Elrith says, "You already exempt from the Protect Traveller task, Kerl."

This happened twice today. Paid for exemption, get the task, go to pay for exemption again and it says I'm already exempt.

I think this may be working as expected by the look of the log.

The actual exemption doesn't take place until after you activate the waiver. An extra line shows up when you type 'BOUNTY' that would indicate if you have an exemption waiver active.

The message you got indicating you were already exempt just means you had already chosen that task to exempt from last time. It remembers your choice until you change it. So you should just have to do 'BOOST WAIVER' and be good to go unless you want to swap it again or confirm you have a specific task exempt.

Exactly right.

I'm not sure what happens if the only task you qualify for has an exemption on it, which is possible in the Landing.

The messaging is somewhat misleading too. It reads as if you have to talk to the headmaster every time, and he acts like you shouldn't be talking to him.

That's why I thought it was a bug. It's a pretty logical assumption based on that message. If I used them more often I might have noticed the timer in the "bounty" text.

If the only task you qualify for has an exemption, you get a "sorry, there is no task available for someone of your skills." message and no bounty. The same thing happens in RR once you outgrow the citadel.
