Skeleton suprise can happen everywhere, and they have a wide aggro range on player.. they keep spawning when they die untill event is over :)

Skeletons will appear as random night spawns after Bonemass was killed, so your group might be one of those if you found them at night.

mobs now will keep around if you dont kill them , them dont flee anymore when the red circle go off

It wasn't at night. I know about the night spawns, too.

Today there was a stray draugr in a nearby mountain biome, left over from a swamp raid.

After H&H the raids will end but the mobs wont despawn.. they are rooming around.
I got my self some draugrs running around killing deers and necks all the time :D

I had a Skeleton Surprise last week, and I found a small group of skellybobs in the forest several days after the raid ended. I guess they had been so busy killing deer and, at night, fighting drakes, that they'd been left behind.

Hey thanks, but these guys aren't leaving after 2 minutes. Do I have to be in the direct area for 2 minutes? Before the mobs would leave when I entered the area. Now they just attack, kill me and stay awhile longer.

A raid can trigger when you're in an area with at least three "base structures", which include portals, tables, workbenches, and campfires. The other day I had a dwarf raid in the middle of a forest just because I had set up a campfire along with a temporary workbench + portal to go sleep at home.

You do need to be within the red circle for the raid to end. I left that dwarf raid because I wasn't interested, so it stayed there for numerous days, until a raid triggered at my base and erased the forest one.

(The wolf hunt event is an exception to both of these, I believe.)

I Understand raids can happen and reading the wiki I have a better understanding. The red alert circle went away awhile ago and the guys are still there and attacking. I'll just got with it. Thanks for the replies both of you.
