I completed this skill challenge this morning without a problem. The spirit was there, I received the prompt to talk, and interaction worked properly. I am on the Dragonbrand server and was not on overflow. This was my first time completing the skill challenge with my main character. Following my completion, I witnessed another player complete the challenge while doing a nearby quest. I hope these details help to narrow down when the bug occurs.
I encountered this same thing this morning. I also cannot recall the exact name, but it was something along the lines of “protect the Skritt scavengers(?) as they steal the golem equipment”. I tried clearing the area, talking to the skritt, and anything else I could think of to trigger the event, but had no luck. The event never seems to move forward.
