Followers: escorts left behind are teleported to the hero

A follower that fell more than 40 cells behind was removed when its sector
was switched off, and the game ran its death label (the husband of "Die
Sklaven der Orks"). Every 500 ms followers of the local hero that far away
are teleported to him with cCreature::Teleport.

+"Show exactly where the grenade will land and its explosion radius, a red

+
+Measured:
+- The landing point is decided at launch (`0x5145d0` case 0x43e): the
+  target's position, or, closer than 200, a point 200 from the dwarf with a
+  +-15 jitter. It goes to the new grenade (type 0x3fa) in cEventFX 0x96,
+  constructed at `0x5169fa` (`cEventFX::Construct` 0x41e0a0, thiscall, ret
+  0x44: code, owner id, target id, position area / x / y / level, ...).
+- The impact gathers its targets at exactly that point, on several frames.
+  The grenade object stays about 30 s after the explosion.
+- Ground -> screen: `0x622700` (world units -> world pixels, the isometric
+  plane), then (pixel - camera +0x14/+0x18) / zoom +0xb60 + screen centre
+  (floating texts 0x41e546). Checked with the hero: the screen centre.
+- The world view draws the ground (`0x62d530`, ground quad list), then the
+  objects.
+
+Mod: the construct call notes grenade, owner, landing point and radius
+(`ImpactRadius`, shared with the hit check); after `0x62d530` a disc (alpha
+0x40) with a 2 px rim (alpha 0xa0) is drawn there, without depth test, until
+the impact of that owner's grenade at that point gathers its targets.
+
+Tooltip (2026-10-26, "the skills tooltip does not show the current radius"):
+a game::Art tooltip filter adds "Explosionsradius: N" after the last value
+line of each level section (current level, and the next level's in the skill
+book), in that line's colour, from the same `ImpactRadiusAt(level)` as the
+hit check and the marker.
