So, I was doing the "stop the Stormcloak invasion" quest in Whiterun. My faithful follower, Eola, joined me in my killing spree and was nuking them petty stormcloak souls into oblivion. At least, that's what she was doing until I turned my back on her. And then... she was gone.

I WTF?-ed while I killed off the last of the stormcloaks and then went looking for her. Inside and outside Whiterun, but she was nowhere to be seen. My dear, dear Eola, gone missing.

After 10 minutes of searching I got fed up with it and turned to the console: player.moveto

Loading screen... poof, there I was, in Whiterun prison, with Eola next to me, looking innocent as ever. What had she done to deserve this?! Probably killed a Whiterun guard by accident with one of her infamous fire balls. Silly girl.

I lockpicked the prison cell and she followed me outside. No prison guard dared to stop us...




Funny thing hey, followers getting themselves in prison? True story.
