Andor's Trail

While grinding for the GoLF i was using the Bjorgur's crypt as my 'safe room' to await my 3 minutes. after a regular run to the cave door and back i found the graverobber had re-spawned?? checked the kazul shrine and the guardian had returned also. it seemed all these monsters and NPC's just came back.
to confirm i went to flagstone prison but the effect had not happened there or the snake cave.

on investigation i found that on the mountain the
graverobber
kazul guardian
guthbert
BWM agent (mountain guide) - all locations
BWM guard (inner sanctum)

had all come back, also northward i found that the
strong larval burrower
creature beneath the crossroads guardhouse (cant recall the name)
river troll
rogorn
rogorns bodyguards?
iqhan Boss (cant recall the name either)

checking elsewhere to confirm details also found
maelveon

but the wolf cave had no pack leader. this is all i got to so far and have yet to check thoroughly for any others who are back.
all of these had been killed or talked away however rogorn (who i killed) now only says "thank you for listening to our side of the story" however his followers were hostile with only fight dialogue available.
all of these characters/monsters dropped their loot again also, most being quest items.
none of the quests have reset as far as i can tell

not quite sure what happened but was a quick way to gain a level for my guy.
