Been trying to do the event constantly on the Ruins of Surmia server but the escort event never starts.There is an explorer at Gavbeorn’s Landing telling us she needs our help but we can’t communicate with her.According to the timer on this website it hadn’t started for a very long time and I need it to deactivate the statues to get a skill challenge.
