Unwaking Waters Explorable Area - Guild Wars Forums

Okay, so I'm trying to cap the ele skill "Ride the Lightning" off of the dragon boss here, but I've come across an extremely annoying "Feature" of this explorable area.

Namely that if I experience a party wipe, I am confronted by a "Return to Outpost" dialogue.
I have no quests active in this area, so that can't be it.
Is this broken or something?
This boss is a slog to get to, and returning to the outpost when I make a slip up is a right royal pain in the unmentionables.

Yeah it's like other areas in the Forest or Jade Sea; if you have more faction with the side that doesn't control the area, the shrine that is controlled by the group of four (two Guards, a Priest, and a Merchant) won't resurrect you. Sometimes it's not as big a problem because a shrine somewhere else in that explorable area may not be guarded by that Faction. In Unwaking Waters, however, there is only one shrine, and it is guarded. There are two ways you can gain access to the shrine if you are allied with the other side. Click on the Priest, and it'll lead to the chance to either bribe him or fight that party of four. Either way you should now gain access to the shrine.
