Spawns in server portal OOC area

[Gee look who]

Description of Bug Experienced:
The other day, after I logged in, I got sent to the server portal area, there was a buffed Duergar hostile npc in the area. It killed me. Fortunatelly someone got my body and killed the npc, and returned my gold. I thought it was just a one time bug, but today, the same thing happened. I logged in, and got sent to the portal area, and there was a npc there, killed me, but I got a god save, and managed to get into the portal.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Log in in a server that is not the one you logged out?

Expected Result:
No NPC's in the area (certainly not hostile ones)

Actual Result:
NPC in the area.

Screenshot(s)
I didn't have time to take a screenshot.

Additional Information/Notes

[JustMonika]

I suspect these could be assassination targets. But this is a theory.

[Artenides]

There are no duergars in the assassin quest db.

[Twohand]

Same thing happened with me last week when I decided to roll an alt. Logged into that same area and was immediately killed by a NPC called "Spy From the Underdark".

[Artenides]

Hmm that one is from the questline... let me investigate this.

[JustMonika]

Previous reports in Discord have also had a Cordorian Noble there.

[Artenides]

These Cordorian Nobles are everywhere nowadays...

Any of you logged in with an assassin when experienced this? If yes, do you remember what was the quest location?

One of my friends has been trying to do the assassin quests and has run into a few weird things, such as no location being listed. I know they don't check the forums, I'll ask that they screenshot it next time they run into it.
