Unusual bug at Moonrise Towers

[NexusOA]

Minor spoilers. At the end of act two there is a weird bug, if you follow through and kill Ketheric. Once Ketheric is dead, you return the ground floor of Moonrise towers. Everything seems normal, then I leave the area going down into the prison. Then come back up the stairs. The pilgrims that were there before freeing the Nightsong, spawn back to where they were. They start attacking Quartermaster Talli. And, the underdark gnomes in the area respond like the pilgrims were a part of their group. Probably because the gnomes are yellow neutral just like the pilgrims. I lost reputation with the Wulbren and Barcus because I killed the pilgrims. Most bizarre thing I have seen in this game so far.

I went to the prison first and the pilgrims spawned, too, but they were immediately attacked by the surviving harpers and the gnolls I made switch sides earlier, who still roamed the ground floor. The pilgrims were neutral towards me, so I wasn't drawn into the battle, and they were killed almost immediately. I wonder if otherwise their fate could have been decided at a later time.

Slight necro, but I just had this happen to me right after the latest update. I was able to work around the neutrality issue by casting bless on the quartermaster, which started a "proper" combat with everyone being on the right sides, quickly resolving the issue. Seems to me the game incorrectly spawns them back there because they were removed for the main fight and thus were still technically alive.

Did you free them from the prison before you took down Moonrise Tower? As I freed the Dark gnomes and they are back at moonlight tower. Might have to go down to the basement and see what is there as I've not been there since I freed them and killed the warden.<G>

They weren't in the prison, but in the main hall in front of the audience chamber. They stand there earlier in the act (at least if you talk your way in), and don't have much to say aside from "I can't wait to join the cult" type stuff. i.e. they're aspiring absolute cultists (which is presumably why they're automatically hostile to any nearby harpers)
