Ascalonian Catacombs bugged since patch 11/05/2012
my group had the same issue a few weeks ago. Detha enters the room but the ghost NPC does not spawn and start the event. The only way we got it to work was restarting the entire instance. it worked fine the second time we did it
My group and I just encountered this very issue about thirty minutes ago.
Detha entered the room and then the event spawned as it should. But then, she ran all the way back to the Oozes that were parked at the large room’s door (we had ran past them), exited combat before arriving there and ran back in the middle of the cannons and just stood there forever.
In fact, even after having my entire group relog from desktop, joining party with them still popped us a “Join your party in AC Explorable?” message so we ended up having to call it off since we couldn’t reload the dungeon for other paths.
EDIT: Tried it 3 hours later without any issues whatsoever. Hmm…

I also had this problem in the group I was in today. Detha entered the large room but nothing happened. We tried waypointing, running back etc but nothing seemed to trigger it. In case it isn’t happening everywhere, we were on Yak’s Bend.
It happens usually when you skip the oozes or if you rush too far inside while still fighting the oozes. It may also happen if an NPC is still aggroed on another monster (troll, gravelings downstairs) and you run in.
Kill everything, wait a while until NPC gets aggro off, and then proceed together – no problems at all.
It still happens even if you don’t skip. And not just on Detha, I’ve seen it happen regularly on all 3 paths where the NPC’s fail to proceed to the next event. Happened to us today on Path 1 as well.
