[Stratos]

As soon as the enemies spot you stand still, or fall back if necessary, and let Dorna run up to the enemies and get a few swings at them. Most enemies shift focus if they're attacked so having a henchman between you and you foe is important if you want to avoid being attacked. This is the only thing I can think of that would help.

I've played a few modules where you could, through dialogue, command a follower to scout ahead but it never really worked that well. And I don't think you could script them to lead as then the computer would have to know where you want to go, and it don't.
