4) Wrong faction, escort NPC doesn't aggro any mobs, but walks through them:

- [x] [[NPC]Rin'ji#7780](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=7780/rinji) - [Video here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRNuJOodzE4&feature=youtu.be) - [Quest#2742](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=2742/rinji-is-trapped) - [x] [[NPC]Homing Robot OOX-17/TN#7784](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=7784/homing-robot-oox-17-tn) - [Video here](https://youtu.be/D3QRwGcV8S0?t=75) - [Quest#648](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=648/rescue-oox-17-tn) - https://github.com/Atlantiss/NetherwingBugtracker/issues/1114 - [x] [[NPC]Homing Robot OOX-09/HL#7806](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=7806/homing-robot-oox-09-hl) - [Quest#836](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=836/rescue-oox-09-hl) - https://github.com/Atlantiss/NetherwingBugtracker/issues/970 - [x] [[NPC]Homing Robot OOX-22/FE](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=7807/homing-robot-oox-22-fe) - [Video here](https://clips.twitch.tv/UglyObliviousPizzaKevinTurtle) - [Quest#2767](https://www.wowhead.com/quest=2767/rescue-oox-22-fe) - https://github.com/Atlantiss/NetherwingBugtracker/issues/939

Server Revision: Various

[Tenoutoften]

Stinky for alliance didn't react when players had mobs on when I did it today

[Tenoutoften]

Hinterland escort has a stuck owlbeast

[pelekon]

@Tenoutoften cuz Stinky shouldn't react, he should only defend himself when mobs attack him

[cathabv]

We just had one of our partymemebers not getting credit for quest "Ending the world" in Bloodmyst Isle while we were all standing next to the npc.

[0vertime]

Ranshalla escort table was bugged the last time I attempted it. Nothing happened on click.

"Stinky" Ignatz broke completely, has been standing still for 15 minutes after accepting the quest.

[Godmatik]

I will assume all the checkmarked issues are resolved. Need to review all of the ones listed under 6)
