Over the last few months I've experienced the same bugs on this trial as others have posted here and across the internet. I was able to complete the event just a few minutes ago, so either it was fixed, or a fluke, or the strategy I used this time worked to avoid the bugs. In any case, I'm posting my experiences in case it can help anyone else.
I did the event with me (85 ranger), my box (85 cleric), and cleric merc. Long, long ago I was present on this event when it was a raid, and I remember how the mobs in each room would be kited as the raid would kill one mob at a time. Since the reports on the bug often mention that the person killed all the mobs very fast, I decided to try to reproduce the old raid method in case that would help.
I stayed by Alekson Garn, had no one in the second room, and my cleric with merc in center of the third room. I hailed Alekson Garn, /say ready, and began the event by killing the mob Alekson Garn turns into. The madmen npcs spawned in all 3 rooms, along with 1 girl in the second room and 1 girl in the third. The npcs in room 1 (Alekson Garn's room) charged me, and the madmen in room 3 charged the cleric, but all the npcs (including the girl) in room 2 stood still. I killed a couple of the madmen in his room and then dragged them to room 2, in case they'd kill the girl. Once there they agroed me, and I turned and I killed the madmen I dragged from room 1. Moments later the named from room 1 spawned, so I ran back and dragged him to room 2 too, and killed him. I then killed the madmen of room 2 and another named spawned. I killed him too. Then I ran to the room with the cleric and killed those mobs to spawn the final named. I killed him, then all the girls despawned and Alekson Garn respawned. I ran the cleric over to him and hailed:
You say, 'Hail, Alekson Garn'
An ethereal mist descends from the air and surrounds your very being. Your body begins to emanate with the power of Alekson Garn.
All these mobs are headshottable though I was careful not to kill them all Too fast in case that caused problems, and was sure to kill them in the order of madmen, named, madmen, named, madmen, named.

Just wondering.. There have been a few post made in regards to this apperant bug in this trial. I am wondering, is this a bug, or is there a legit write-up on how to do this the right way. Apperantly slaughtering the mobs and the named are not enough. I am literally pwning these guys, and within a min of named spawns POOF..all mobs vanish..mission failed. Wuts up? Does anyone know? Thank you if you can answer my question. =)

This mobmust be bugged. Here;s our run down and tell me if im missing anything or if it in fact IS bugged.
Had a group in room 2 and a group in room 3. Hailed Alekson. Tiggered event. Klled a guardian of marr and spawned mobs. Cleared crazed and named in room 2 and 3. Had no further spawns. Had no respawn of Alekson for any sort of a hail. Had no respawn of any crazed norrathians nor named. About 1-2 minutes later got the end of the event message.
nothing on track.

Is this trial timed? Tried it twice today, and both times we failed but neither of the two villagers were killed. The mobs just despawned, and the emote said they were taken away.
We had two people holding down the mobs in the room furthest from Alek, and the rest killing the mobs in the room just off of Alek's. Without warning all the mobs just vanished, and the trial was over. Is there a villager that spawns in Alek's room that we may have missed?

One detail regarding any of these "hail the NPC to get your flag" type events. Make sure you see the message listed in the previous post (An ethereal mist....). It's easy to miss in the spam of hails after the raid.
You CANNOT be on horse/drogmor nor invisible when hailing, or it will not work. I repeat, be dismounted and visible when hailing! Good luck!

From the link provided,
This is one of the three trials needed in order to enter the Temple of Marr where Mithaniel Marr resides. Alekson Garn's trial is the easiest of the three trials. Once the trial is triggered, you'll need to protect some innocent virgins from the mean guys that spawn all around them. If you protect the virgins and beat the bad guys, you win. (See the map below for the basic layout.) If Alekson Garn is alive in the zone, his trial can be activated. If he's not there, then the trial cannot be activated. With a few tricks, a group of 18 should be able to do this trial, but it's designed for a raid of 40 to 60 players.
Personal notes,
The mobs move at close to Jboots speed and are very hard to snare.
Its better to have only one active kitters and a few inactive Monks, SK's with SoE on to take over should they go down. This was one of the hardest thing we learned, that to many kitters ruin the broth.
To seperate a mob at a time use a Pally with Stun or Ench to pull one of at a time.
Once you have killed all the bad guys you can then hail Alekson Garn and you will get text stating "An ethereal mist descends from the air and surrounds your very being. Your body begins to emanate with the power of Alekson Garn." complete the other two trials to enter the Temple of Marr (HoHb).

Virgin/Princess trial -
Great writeup here
We did it a bit different (full 72 raid force..pickup raids ya'know). Divided groups into the 3 spawn rooms. Each room killed off all mobs except for one...had a kiter keep it occupied. Balance of raid force then killed off named one at a time (moving room to room), as the named pops when last crazed mob dead in each room.

this can be done with as little as 18 in raid (we have done it a few times)---needs good kiting,druids probably best with soe, tho wiz can do too if soe is fresh---post kiters in each room , kill boss in first room, kite, kill respawn boss in first room, move to second room, kill , move to last room, kill---back to room one, hail (NOT on mount, NOT invis)...gratz you are 1/3 of way thru the HoH trials
btw MOST mobs on way dont see invis, but there is usually ONE who does just before you get to the building housing the event...so, con before you proceed thru it---also, about half of the mobs which need to be kited can be snared, prob not worth doing

A little song. A little dance. Evil team's head on a lance!
This is t-3 Alekson Garn
villagers is t-2 Rhaliq Trell
and RD dragon is t-1 Trydan Faye
