Explorer Jeppa Event

While working on the collection for Expurgation, I participated in an event to help Explorer Jeppa gather lost Priory supplies. All was going smoothly until the third supply, when she randomly ported all the way across the map (close to the first waypoint) and was killed nearly instantly, leaving me only a couple of minutes to get there and revive her before the event failed. Then, immediately after revival, she disappeared and reappeared up in the northern area of the map, repeating the same death-revival incident.

When she appeared in the north part of the map, it was near a supply, as if she had skipped there walking part.

While this could have been intentional, I highly doubt it. With some help, I barely managed to complete this event. Frantic revival!
