Still does this on Lucan D'Lere too, and Obere (named Nerius pirate on the beach for Assassin AQ6) also does this. I was grouped with a 25 Assassin who refused to go to the large southern pirate camp because of this, and likewise I found myself hugging cliff walls and running/feigning a lot when going to and from the beach along the road. Annoying as hell, and apparently pretty comon...I swear if I hear Nerak threatening to send my body back to Vassi one more time I'll..I'll...play dead some more
