I have seen it. I've had it happen. As the Dragon Lord, I had several
Characters kidnapped in battle, only to escape a turn or two later. I
believe that if the character holding the hostage has no agent rank,
then the hostage has a decent chance for escape. Now, I can't attest to
whether or not they've ever escaped when the character holding the
hostage HAS agent rank.

Opinions seem to differ on that though don't they? There's lot's of
these
"established truths" which wobble under testing.
I should be interested to know if we have we got anyone out there
confident
enough to say that they have seen non-agent characters escape
- not because the holding nation has been eliminated
- nor because the holding character has been kidnapped/assassinated
- nor because the holding character has come a cropper in an encounter
- nor because the hostage has been released
- nor because the holding pop has been taken?
I think it would be quite difficult, even in a highly communicative team
to
exclude all these possibilities.
