Spines Longbow Wardens make terrible prison guards

[ZorkNemesis]

So this may not exactly be a bug, but it has caused some problems and is worth mentioning.  When a mission involving Longbow requires you to recover an NPC from a group of enemies, if one of those enemies happens to be a Longbow Warden with the Spines powerset the NPC is usually dead before you get there.  In my most recent foray in the Vigilante Tip mission to "Free Polar Shift from Longbow" she was nowhere to be found after clearing all Longbow from the mission.  After a minute of searching I put it together that the group that would have been holding her had a Spines Warden in it, so she was more than likely killed by the auto Quills before I could even have a chance to reach her.  As a result since the objective is to extract her, the mission is stuck and unwinnable.  This is not the first time it has happened to me, but definitely annoying, confusing, and infuriating when it does happen.
