A very common feeling among NPCs. Once, just once, we managed the opposite.
You're a prisoner in the Temple of Maldebode, within the dungeon complex of the Great Necromancer. It's worse than it sounds, and you've been here for, um, several days? It's hard to tell. There's quite a lot of shouting and banging outside your cell, but there's nothing unusual about that.
Suddenly, your cell door explodes. Someone in a suit of armour sticks their head in, with a light, and calls back out the door "One prisoner, looks human." Someone rather smaller but equally armoured comes in, squints at you through a monocle, and calls back "Yup, she's human, not armed, not possessed." The first suit of armour comes back in and pulls your chains out of the wall without obvious effort. A little old man comes in, looks at you hard, hands you a bottle, saying "drink that" and starts digging clothing out of a bag that can evidently hold far more than looks possible.
"I've been rescued by professionals!"
We got her safely out and offered her a job, but she'd decided to retire from adventuring.
