So, let's assume you're an evil (WANTED) conjie Scion wannabe and there's enough Imperials around that evil tips. You can't ask Fort because you're evil, can't ask Battle because you're a filthy mage, can't ask Nexus because evil tips, can't ask Outtie because you're a conjie, can't ask Trib because you're wanted.

Pray. Pray to whichever ears are listening. Pray payment in the future, a piece of your soul, a piece of someone else's soul, gold, whatever.

If you're lucky you'll get some wicked IMMteraction. If you're unlucky, you're just back where you started.

Also, I'm assuming that you weren't in Imperial Lands if you were going to get a potion of return. If you were up there, there's little chance of escape (welcome to the pain of being a Villager.) If you were in one of the other places where it *seems* like you might be trapped by Centurions, there was probably a hidden exit you might not be aware of.

It's entirely possible that you were legitimately trapped, but in many parts of Thera you can shove the bushes aside and find an old path if you're willing to get a little dirty.
