>Or if they've killed the guard and show up right on your tail.

Oh yeah. Forgot where you probably recall to. Hmm. In that case, just teleport if you word and see unfriendlies in town.

With the guild, the guildguard is just supposed to serve as a delay. Unless they tigerclaw/hurl throat you'll hear the guy yell, which is your cue to get out of dodge. This assumes the guildguard was actually there when you entered the guild.

>Works, only you still need to be vigilant in case someone does
>happen to find you.

True. There are some areas, though, where you could probably sit for hours and never encounter another PC.

>Hmm. Abilities that allow one to pass through doors?

Some doors can't be passed through w/ passdoor. Afaik chess board is one of them, but there are others as well.
