killed him about 15 minutes ago wierd thing is unless i stopped n went toe to toe with him pet would not attack me just stayed at his side so ended up rooted pet and whacked the heck outa the gnoll np to solo at 59 dropped him to 50 pct with bow n dots then just hacked away

Solo'd this guy. He takes a couple min or so to bring down.

I didn't notice if he was undead or just looks that way.

I didnt have my log on to see if my WoN proc was going off. I never got a slay that is for sure.

Sir Nan is easier than this guy too. Especially when I hit Nan for 4k :)

Soloed him with no problem at all. He has a very strange path, it almost seemed like he was running away from me. stops very often to cast spells. i had FM and 91% health at the end of the fight. so just keep ur distance and he should be easy. Hope this helps :)

Me, a 49 ranger, and a 52 wizzie where in the zone getting the last item for my Jboot... all 3 buffed to hell (me 3khp, hasted, kei, blah blah) So we run past the skelly camp on the way to the shadow men... We get instant agro, np we just keep running they'll back off and cant hurt us ne ways. I look up at my buff bar i got high lvl dots on me. We stop i throw about 4 300hp heals on myself and the dot finally fades.

We instantly thought pkers so we hit / no one was in the zone. So my GAR bro tracked down this yellow mob. Undead looking gnoll. I've been in sk more then i can count w/ my druid and didn't ever remeber running into him.

I ask the GAR he wants to go for it, so we give him everything we got. Ater bout 30 seconds w/ a series of nukes failed roots (THIS GUY CAN'T BE ROOTED/SNARED not resisted he CAN'T) I died... my bro died... the wizzie gated w/ dots.

It's all good though cuase this week we're ganna visit him w/ a few friends and a little more info. GL if ya wanna try him!

(BTW this man has LOADS of hp,we were whacking the poo outa him and the nukes were round 1k each and after a few he hadn't lost half a red)

Quest for sword relates that he is a crazy gnoll from Splitpaw who is shunned by his own kind. Definitely acts like it. He will attack you but wont hold aggro on you. He will not keep aggro on you even if you attack him and kill his pet (which we did, then backed away to heal and he just turned away). Have seen him attack me at a distance while an enchanter a druid nuked him.

Estimated he has 25k hp, a 1063 nuke was about 4%. He regens mad, like Naggy, sometimes runs with SoW speed. Got a group to take him, only to watch him die at the hands of Bro Qwinn.

wow just had to write something about the ker-aaazy time i just had in SK.

zoned in late at night, just mooching around really, and this guy plus his pet were just passing the bridge from NK. i am lev 52 now and thought nothing in this zone could really touch me so ran straight up to him without conning.......WHAM 550pt nuke made me think twice and went to back off.....WHAM snared and rooted.

snare did not overwrite sow which i thought was damn weird but i was just stuck there thinking "aaargh" i'm gonna die here late at night with no rez in SK of all places what the hell!!

then he hits me with fear so i have no idea what's going on and all the time expect to die, yards from the zoneline. while feared i notice root and snare both coming off and sow still up and i thought "just maybe i will be able to run to zone". fear pops off and i stagger to the bridge on 5% health expecting the killing blow to fall but no.....he just walks off!!

SO, i am still in zone and just stunned to be alive and become CONVINCED that this is some weird GM event and start /ooc'ing to the zone "there is a named gnoll wandering around controlled by a gm and if this is some gm's idea of a joke it's NOT funny" lol.

anyway i quickly call on the only 2 ppl left in the channel my friends are always on......2 very high level uber wizards, Jhylven and Lotherian. they must have thought i was friggin crazy gibbering about how i'd nearly been ganked by a gm and could they PLZ come and help me kill the damn thing as revenge and partly incase some mega-loot was forthcoming!!

full credit to them they both zapped in immediately only to hear i had lost him off track and soo sorry etc etc. Loth ports back to his PoV group only to then have me say "aaaargh i've found him again" lol.

Loth comes back AGAIN (his group must love me!!) and the 3 of us gank the damn gnoll and his pet (which was the same con as the gnoll btw which was another reason i thought it was odd) into oblivion and i feverishly looted the corpse expecting to find some godly lewtz or a serverwide message or something.....blah!!!

FANTASTIC fun tho and something i won't forget for a long time lol.

my thanks go out to the 2 crack wizzies Jhyl and Loth for putting up with such a newb and for congratulating me rather than laughing me out of Norrath!!

He Aggs you, but doesnt finish you off? hits hard too!

Three of us running around SK hoping for a shot at Quillmane: 52 Bard (me), 51 Mage, and 49 Cleric. Saw him on track and went to investigate. Found him finishing off Braenar and sitting at about 75% health. I had only two chants memmed at the time, so I started in on him while the mage got her 51 earth pet up. He was immune to snare as mentioned, and also fear. Mage nuked to OOM and got him down to about 35% hp. He was running around at that point, staying away from the pet as best he could, trying to get his nukes off. With my two chants (about 150dd/tick), I could keep him from healing up, but I could not take him down any further. Pet finally kept him occupied long enough to get two more chants memmed and he started going down again. The rest of the fight was chasing him around the zone trying to let the casters med while I kept him chanted but on the pet as much as possible. Cleric had to heal me a few times for his 500 and 600 pt nukes. Took at least 8 minutes (3 Selo's Chorus cycles) for us to get him down from 35% to dead, and at least some of that was additional nukes from the mage once she had mana again.

I'd been after this guy for two weeks, off and on, and finally saw him last night on track (I'm a 52 bard) Ran over to him just in time to watch him get killed by Braenar Swiftsong. DOH

Logged back in tonight and he was up and just sitting in one place just to the left of the bridge from NK. Got a couple of friends (54 War, 54 Shammy) and tried to take him. Warrior and I died and Shammy saved herself.

Called in reinforcements in the form of a 50 cleric to rez, a 54 bard and a 54 rogue.

Took him down easily the second time.

While waiting for the reinforcements to arrive I followed him up and down the coast from zone edge to zone edge several times. He doesn't sit still for long, and occasionally seems to hit hyper speed like a SoW. Never saw him go back to the bards at the well, so maybe he spawns in several different places.

First time he spawned (when he got killed by Braenar) it was 2am on a game Saturday. Second time was on a game Sunday when I logged in so don't know what time he spawned, but I'd been logged in earlier hoping he would spawn on a Saturday again and he didn't so I logged out for a while. He did stick around for over an hour in real-time after killing us during the first attack.

I wish I would have been able to say exactly how to make him spawn or where he does, but....just look up and down the river from east to west for several days and you'll probably see him.

aft the pet died and he was at half he rooted the pet and ran, followed him and pet came after and finished the job.
