The dungeon mechanics can be confusing, it looks like you're leaving the world to enter an instance so you might assume time will stop outside, but the actual mechanism is you're teleporting straight up into some floating rooms. Things around the entrance stay in the simulation.

And what about this: thanks the follow was set on, wolves also was teleported up somewhere, but due to the fact that they could not enter the cave, they fell down and killed themselves?
