Alectryon spawns too near quest areas

Players can't take damage in cutscenes, so I'm not sure what the problem was you had.
But the world is a dangerous place! Call some arms and have them take down the hunt mark!

I think if you get attacked before the cutscene actually kicks in, it jolts you back out of it.

Anyway even if they can get into the cutscene, they're still likely to end up dead upon getting out of it.

Other marks have similar issues - my Stormblood MSQ run got held up by a mark on top of my next objective and I had to wait for a hunt train to come through. You're not going to get that happen in ARR areas and people might not be confident to go drumming up help.

Anyway, OP, some things you can try:
- shouting for someone to come help, either in the zone or in Ul'dah
- posting in Party Finder
- asking your FC for help (if you're in one)
