This sound similar to the bug I'm having where everyone in the grove thinks my druid is a monster and runs away from him. I have to park him away from anyone I need to interact with, and talk to them with a different character. Which makes the conversation cutscenes weird because it often shows my character interacting with the NPC, but when it's over my main is still completely out of sight.

The first time it happened, I thought it might have been because I was sill in a wild shape form when I entered the grove to talk to Zevlor. So I went through the fight again, and dismissed wild shape before entering the grove. Same result. Then I did the fight again without using wild shapes and the same thing happened!

I'm not a monster! I just change into animal forms. A druid grove is the last place I would expect to find this kind of discrimination!
