Not sure what happened here. I was sitting at the Maran, not attacking it, and hidden and it looks like the Maran decided to dirt kick me and bring me into combat when Xeneth was attacking it.

Is this a bug? I can't say I've ever experienced a mob doing this before.

This massive figure is shrouded entirely by thick gray metal armor, a cloak
of thick gray wool clasped beneath the visor of its helm. As a strong gust
of wind swirls about this immobile figure, its cloak flares and whips through
the air, the small embroidered silver-winged phoenix appearing to take to
wing. One gray gauntlet clasps an enormous mace of searing white light. Two
points of silvery-white flame glow beneath its visor.
A Maran Tara'bal has some small but disgusting cuts.
