Does TImely Escape only work if you are in combat with a guard?

What about combat with another NPC?

So far I have been attacked in 2 cities with no footpad to help. Is it only a small percent chance to happen?

    I so badly want to kill a guard. Not just any guard. But the guard who took my imperial motif. I saw profit profit then misclick on a stupid axe and bammo. Trying to run... trying to run... arghhhhhhghghghg dead.

    You are missing the point entirely. I can get away from the guards and NPCs. I want to activate the footpad and get the achievement. I am provoking the attacks from NPCs and healing myself as I look around for the footpad. After several boring minutes I give up and just cloak and slink away.

    Other NPCs can trigger it, but the place you're in needs to have an Outlaw Refuge in it or the footpad won't show up. There was also something about not being able to trigger one within a certain time frame if someone else had done so, and that the first player to reach the footpad is the only one who can use him until the timer runs out.

    I knew that it had to be a city with a outlaw refuge.

    Maybe I am running into the timer problem, or maybe the percentage chance of activating the footpad is low.

    I finally saw the footpad icon on my compass bar, but I could not find the footpad. I searched for at least 1 minute as an NPC beat on me. As I turned in a circle, the icon seemed like it was right on me.

    Finally I moved out the area I was in to a place where I could see more around me. At that point a guard showed up so I had to make an escape without the footpad.

    I don't like this footpad escape system so far.
