If the Mechanic is freed in teh dungeon, and then subsequently killed before you have a chance to properly assign her housing, what happens to her? Does she respawn in housing, respawn somewhere free, or...?
No, if the mechanic dies before you have a house for her, as long as you have a house for her, she'll take the house. But if she dies before moving in, she won't have to be untied again. same for the goblin tinkerer and wizard.
IÂ found the Goblin Tinkerer (who moved in when I had the correct housing) and the Mechanic near each other, i went to continue exploring and the Mechanic died somehow, I didn't have a house at the time for either, do I wait or what?
well you know what really sucks. was going down the dungeon and saw her on the bottom of my screen as I was making my way down and then -choking of death- sound happened and she was dead! I didn't get anywhere near her and she died
