An '''Escort Quest''' involves escorting an [[NPC]], who may or may not fight with you, to a [[quest]] objective.
The difficulty in an escort quest is usually derived from keeping a frail NPC alive, or otherwise achieving a quest objective in time.
An example of an escort quest in [[Diablo III]] would be [[Escort_Mission| the "escort mission"]] from the [[BlizzCon]] demo in 2008, which involved escorting an NPC captain through the bowels of the [[Tristram Cathedral]] in Act I, and saving his soldiers.
It remains to be seen whether escort NPCs will act as [[hirelings]] or not, in the sense that they fight with you, or if that criteria is even applicable/relevant.
==General Terminology==
The escort quest is one of three types of quests that makes up what can be called the "Quest Trifecta" in [[RPG]]s.
It is called such, because there are generally only three types of quests in an RPG, regardless of if they are an [[MMO]] or a single player game. The other two types of quests are called fetch or kill quests.
