Would it be possible for the templar from these tasks to offer to escort you from the area when done? If you want to stay you could decline and he will leave, if you want to accept, join the NPC and it leads you out to safety. Perhaps have a timer to join them or not before they despawn. I'm not even sure this is possible considering the randomness of their locations in these zones, but these places can be quite dangerous.

Edit: I say join NPC and not have them join you so there's no running around dangrous areas getting a free NPC ally instead of your fellow players helping you out, but when there's not many people on, it's nice to have an escort.

This wouldn't be easily implemented, for the exact reason you specified. Their locations could be anywhere within the area, and there is not a path finding system for them to find the exit to the area and lead you back to the Church.

I thought that might be the case, but thanks for at least considering it!
