This is a custom event based loosely on the actual boss event in PoearthB from EQLive. I have the zone customized to be geared towards players of levels 50-65, so everything here can easily be adjusted to tune it towards higher level players if that is wanted. This quest could easily be changed to reflect the actual EQLive quest with only making a few changes if anyone cares to do so.

Before this event can begin, the Untargetable Leader of the Rathe Council must spawn. Upon spawning, he also spawns the 12 Rathe Councilmen to avoid possible exploits if they spawned like normal NPCs. When one of the Rathe Councilmen are attacked, it sets a 5 minute timer for the event and despawns the Untargetable Leader of the Rathe Council. The player(s) must then kill all 12 Rathe Councilmen before the timer wears off or the event will fail and the remaining Rathe Councilmen are depopped. If all 12 are killed within the 5 minute timer, then the boss of the zone is spawned and is now targetable. The players can then complete the encounter by beating the boss.

There are 4 NPC IDs involved in this quest. There are 12 Rathe Councilmen with the same NPC ID and 3 other individual spawns. It took me quite a while to figure out how to get this to work exactly as I wanted, but it seems flawless now. I am sure there is probably an easier way to do it, but this is the best way I could think of.
