My party used Lloyd's Beacon to leave the Lincoln (a LB scroll, as we had no sorcerors). When we materialized on the beach at Avlee, our two NPCs, who had as usual disappeared when we went to the Lincoln, did not reappear. Their slots were empty (and clicking the arrows did not help). However, when we tried to hire new NPCs, we got the "your party is full" message, and when we picked up gold, the two invisible NPC's took their usual cut!We got back into the wetsuits and waded around underwater for a while; when we came ashore, the NPCs were back.
Just thought I'd mention this little item, as I don't recall seeing it before.
