In Malchor’s Leap I did the defend event @ Garden of Ilya and while rezzing an NPC lying in the doorway the light beams closed on me at didn’t lock me in, or out, but inside them.
Also, I have a little bit of an issue with some events inside confined areas like this (like the Hylek Camp in Sparkfly Fen or the Nebo Terrasse Settlement) that you sometimes can’t find a way into to participate in any events there.
