I kept trying to think of another way to do it but finally went with having the first councilman that is attacked send a signal to the untargetable boss and that boss will send a signal to The Rathe (invisible event timer), and then The Rathe starts the timer and depops the untargetable boss. This keeps the other 11 councilman from sending the signal to start the timer over again and again (since the pass through NPC is depopped).

Kinda thinking out loud here, but couldn't you define a variable for The_Rathe (ID 2700426), maybe call it started, set it to 1 once the first Councilman (ID 222008 ) has been killed, and then set it back to undefined once the quest has either been completed or failed? Overall, it should make it a little simpler & cleaner. It should look something like this:

if ($signal == 6) {quest::depop();}
}
Anyways, just a thought. |
