Contract. Don't spar at bree when you've got one, or don't whine about it.
So yes! He would've escaped.
I actually made that do command just for that occasion, but didn't plan on finding him so low. Had I typed in commands manually, he probably would've made it to his inn before I got to stab. Im not so stingy Ill cry over a wasted tactics potion :P
<3 backstab do commands. do 40 commands, backstab @Target. Good thing you downed that potion, he might've escaped if you didn't!
Ya, he's dumb.
Good timing and a nice loot. Kills like these are underrated and should be cherished!
