I'm doing the racial quest for my half elf in Qeynos, and during the very last quest "Ayr'Dal in the Forest Ruins" if you either move too far away from the gnolls, or die, they disappear back into the ground and don't respawn. Now dying happens, but to have them go away for good so that you have to abandon the quest and re-take it is very frustrating. Might want to fix this for future players
I'm sorry to hear of this difficulty that you encountered, Kesstryl. It's not that the gnolls go away forever, it's that there is a timer associated with them to stop you from accidentally triggering more than one group on you as you move around and fight them. For any others that encounter this issue you need only wait 5 minutes from the time you triggered the gnolls. ~Kaitheel
