Also in Atvatabar, my husband saw something similar w/ low lvl characters following similar paths with similar naming conventions, going to the quest giver at Secret Fishing Hot Spot (where the shrine is and the quest giver by the docks) and immediately turning around in less than a blink

He thinks this may be a similar bot swarm but he’s not certain. They were not factioned and were all low lvl
