Gate-killing pets

[The oOo]

One of m'boys is working a tamer up and likes to sell mounts at the bank occasionally. I've never played a tamer so I know very little about how they work other than what I've read up on to get him started.

Apparently his mounts keep getting gate-killed...someone attacks one of the mounts he's selling, pops a gate and pulls it through then kills it...what's the workaround for this?

He doesn't get a 'attacking you/pet' message, the pets just start walking to the gate and they're gone before he sees whats going on...

I'd figure the attacker would at least flag grey and be open to 'guards'...I haven't seen it happen so I'm not sure.

Should he be setting them to 'guard' him?...I'm thinking this is why he's not getting any notice.

Thanks!

if its a monster and you gate it right to town after you tame it it's still grey for awhile so free to be attacked. thats one thing that came to mind. Secondly people could just be enticing his animals for selling exotic animals with out the proper permit from us [cA]l. among other tricks

They are being enticed via the bard skill Enticement/Discordance through the gate.

What elk said is correct. Also, I always wandered, can you "herd" an animal into a gate?

[iamreallysquall]

What i said is correct is what you meant seeing how i offered that option as well in my response. But anyway no herding does not work on tamed creatures.

Is your friends name Felix by any chance? If so tell him farnk says thanks for the beautiful frenzied ozzies ;]

Tell "your friend" not to keep all of the animals at the bank.
Keep the majority somewhere safe, there is no need to have 10 of them at the bank.

[Populus]

Tell your friend to purchase a permit from cA in order for a peaceful selling environment. cA always look after the safety of animals.

[Pirul]

You cannot herd tame animals.

Appreciate the advice...wouldn't have guessed it was inticement but sounds right...

so is the fix simply that he needs to command them to follow or come or stay when he sees his pets walking away?

ps...sorry [cA]...your mafia tactics mean nothing to us

Dispel field uses less mana than the gate spell.
