There's a VERY good reason to sleep at the Inn or enter a Rift Stone before beginning the Escort Duty quest.

The 2-3 checkpoint saves are "soft" saves, but sleeping at an Inn or entering a Rift Stone creates a "hard" save.

The game gives you one "soft" savegame and one "hard" savegame.

If you screw up the quest and Symone doesn't award you the Gold Idol, you can backtrack to the beginning of the Escort Quest by Godsbaning (assuming this is not your first playthrough).

Selecting "Retry" will load the last "soft" savegame, while "Retry from last checkpoint" will load your last "hard" gamesave (the save at the Inn or Rift Stone).
