Certain rangers or thieves/assassins could be bribed/payed to pull you into the shadows/wilderness and show you how to hide out, thereby taking you out of immediate sight. Obviously, if you're not one of the more normally experienced classes, then you wouldn't get to do much other than hide out, and anything you did to move/eat/sleep would give away your position.

Also: The ranger/thief/assassin in question would charge more/less to help you out depending on who you were. Evil thief chargs drow not so much, Wood elf ranger gives fellow wood elf PC a deal, etc.
