I think it would be illogical for the enemy to not follow the ranger up into the attic in this scenario. I don't see any difference just because it's a spell.  However, I would warn the player that this would happen, that there's nothing stopping the enemy from following.  In addition, if the entire group did manage to do a rope trick in full sight of the enemy, it's highly likely that intelligent enemies would just be given an hour to prepare defenses for the inevitable return.  Intelligent opponents will usually use better tactics than video game AI enemies.</blockquote>
