| A character I was tracking (for example, A) just finished a merc quest at east bay. I was at Yellow Lake and I set up an ambush- Yellow Lake <==> East Bay... But A wasnt ambushed by me. In fact, he wasnt ambushed at all! Why is this so? 
 The facts:
 
 1. I set up an ambush at Yellow Lake <==> East Bay before he started travelling
 
 2. He has over 40% health
 
 3. He hasnt had any thief ambushes in the last 3 hours (1 day actually).
 
 4. He had no arts (although i dont think this matters)

| There's always a chance for the "prey" to avoid the ambush. |

 May I know the % of the chance to avoid the ambush?

| Was he at east bay for sure? | 
| i beleive it is compleatly random |

 DEFINITE... I refreshed his character page every 5 sec until he reached back to Yellow Lake. (Sorry I forgot to mention that he travelled back to Yellow Lake)

| The chance to catch a caravan is much greater than catching a player. 
 Just because that guy travelled your route, it doesn't mean that he's automaticaly ambushed.
 | 
| There are dozens of players traveling between the most popular routes every minute, it doesn't mean they all get caught. The question is incompetent. |
