ehh, I find that they generally manage ok, the trick is making them navigate around obstacles, in which case their priority seems to be to line up with Lona, so a bad thing to do is just run up to them, get them following you and the run to exit, certain obstacles get them stuck in a loop, but if it's a clear straight path, no issues, so positioning lona so they have straight lines to follow works best. (remember that when pathfinding, they consider other hostages that are following as obstacles too and will try to go around them, but they aren't considered an obstacle if they arent on a tile to next to them)In regards to the hostages thing:
Don't go more than three tiles in front of them. They'll follow you if you stick to two or three, being the closest light source.
Stealth mode throws them off too as they can't see where you've gone.
distance doesn't matter regardless of brightness/light sources. stealth mode also doesn't seem to matter either. what matter is what's in their way, so plan ahead and work out what the straightest path with least obstacles is.
also, if you have to take stairs and your hostages are more or less in a line, wait till on is next to you, go upstairs and back down, the closest hostage will spawn under you and stay there, repeat until all hostages are under you on desired floor.
just my experience from constantly saving hostages for money and exp.
