Wheel of Time MUD

Hello. I started this quest and took the boat to Maerine. However, I re-embarked without fruit and got stuck on the boat called the River Dancer. Was unable to get off, despite using all commands that would normally work. I eventually rescued by a kind Aes Sedai 24 hours later!

Additionally the hooded woman wanderered part way through giving instructions, so I missed some. Can this be fixed so she stays in the same room whilst interacting?

Not reliably. E.g. I had the weary merchant sit, because it was a short exchange, but for longer stuff it could still get up and walk off.
