If the NPCs bug for you and evade to the point where you can't attack them, you can toggle your War Mode. I had War Mode on so turning it off and coming back fixed the issue.

I did try abandoning. This did not fix.

Edit: I then encountered an issue where the NPC for The Hunter did not spawn. This may be related to changing my War Mode during the chain. I relogged where the NPC was supposed to be and the NPC was spawned.
