Actually, castle groups are rarely the cause of trains. If
they're experienced enough to break into the castle, they're
(usually) experienced enough to know how to do it without
causing a train.

The biggest cause of trains in MM is letting a runner (usually
a familiar) get away. If that happens, it goes right into the
castle triggering everything inside. The sick thing is that
there are a couple familiars, guards, etc who patrol the
graveyard and the pond area. If you aggro these (being close
to them is enough), they don't even stop to fight - they run
straight for the castle. I've even tried charming one and it
kept right on running. I've had this happen countless times
to me, and watched it happen countless times while invis.
It's really one of the most realistic but most un-fun parts of
the game.

None of the mobs in Mistmoore can inherently see invis. They
can however cast see invis on themselves and other mobs.
Don't assume invis will make you safe. Be ready to zone at a
moment's notice.
