I believe Tayla should be spawning in the bedroom on the left (approx. 900, -1420).
First, the ogre Spice appears to be spawning in the wrong spot in the basement. This
screenshot shows her standing against the wall outside the bedroom on the left.
A necro hunting guide has an entry for Tayla:

Strategy
After making big ol' 16, head to Neriak 3rd gate and pick up your new spells. Now it's time to try them out. Head over the Maiden's Fancy. Say hi to whomever is camping Ratraz. If Ratraz is there, proceed to leave. If Ratraz is camped, then you are in luck. Downstairs in a couple rooms is Tayla Ironforge. She is a Warrior type that is very similar to Trisha Whistlesong in West Freeport, with one major difference: she has multiple attacks.
First, if you have it, cast Banshee Aura. This will be a high damage fight since neither side has many HPs. Banshee Aura will make the difference everytime. Open her door, avoid targeting Spice, and Engulf her. Run upstairs and go behind a table. Notice the odd pathing. Use this to your advantage to get the DoT of your choice off (I suggest Leach for obvious reasons). Once combat has begun, make sure you throw in a Poison Bolt between rounds to stack more damage. It means a lot to the low HP Tayla). It is important to try and time your Lifetaps in between her bashes/kicks.
Result? Dead Tayla with nice XP.

With Spice in her new position, the advice to avoid targeting her when attacking Tayla makes much more sense. (I also highlighted a couple of Tayla's reported combat abilities.)
Tayla should be positioned in the room such that she can aggro players through the door.

Now my question. Ratraz did not stop Skarja walking down the stairs into the room with the Royal Ambassador. Then trollish curiosity overcame my lack of sense and I walked to the next room to be hit thru a door (doh) by Talia Ironforge. I presume she's a dwarf as there are Ironforge NPCs in Kaladim but in my haste to escape I never saw her. SoW was still up but I got stuck in a few doors and she stuns and hits for 40 to 50. As usual I died horribly inches from the zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Can anyone tell me what Talia and the Ambassador are doing down there. I may have to investigate with my dark elf enchanter Malkieri when he returns to Neriak so I'll post again here if I find out anything else [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
