I have been in Acrylia Caverns a hundred times with a dozen different characters, and for the first time I see these guys. I was in the Warlord room and got a zonewide message "By order of the Master, the ritual chambers shall be cleared..." I thought it was odd, but ignored it. I clicked out to the zoneline, zoned back in for another full clear and things had changed.

After the caves, at the stairs where there are 6 undead skellies, there was a big door with spikes blocking the way into the sanctum. at the bottom of the stairs, lined up 3 in a row on each side, were a total of 6 "a grimling ambusher" all level 52. They would not agro, nor was I allowed to attack them. The door would not open, but the statue that you click to get to the inner sanctum had been relocated and was sitting in front of the door. Even sitting in front of the door, so as to get a glimpse of what is on the other side, revealed another brick wall directly behind it so I could not see anything beyond it.

Clicking the statue relocated me to the inner sanctum as usual, but the portion of the zone with the bloodpriest was not accessable. After about 20-30 minutes, while typing this, I click back over to check real quick, and it is all gone, back to normal, no ambushers.

I checked and nobody else was in zone, but I am guessing someone popped in and started or finished a quest just at the moment I was working my way back through the dungeon. Kind of weird though.

Sidenote: I had been clearing the zone all day for the Hunter achievement and the only one I could not get to spawn was the High Priest. After the wall disappears he had spawned down in the Warlords room at his usual roamer spot. Probably coincidence, but not sure.
