Here is what happened to you. The Orc you left alive went and told all his
friends about you and your group (mobs will spread agro when near each
other). As other players killed the orcs you got faction hits for still
being on their hate list. If a orc got close enough to you to directly agro
(when you are on a mobs hate list the re-agro range is huge) they would head
for you, in-route they must have gotten stuck on a tree or from lag they
appeared to teleport into the middle of you. They were teleporting up into
Kelethin as a anti-exploit measure that keeps casters from blasting critters
from a high places with no fear of retaliation. The only way to clear the
agro is to zone/camp/die, till then the agro will keep spreading.
This happens in the planes all the time, and I had it happen once in lower
guk. The whole live side got agro'd on my party due to a wizard running an
eye of zom over to live side. Whenever I would go near frenzied room to
pull I would get a mino or three and a few live frogs training back to the
Hand room. It was pretty funny :)
