I wanted to see how I would like a horse so I traveled to befallen to kill the foreman. Started randomly killing exavators and nothing seemed to happen. Then I read post and tried it and nothing seemed to happen so I killed all four in that room and the cracked next to the left side of the rock near the locked door. Then I left the zone and came back in a few minutes waiting for spawns to repop. Come back in and I kill the left exavator that is first on the list and boom Foreman pops. All other 3 were still up. Maybe you have to just kill them until he pops.
Upon arrival into Befallen (after being side tracked by killing minions of skellies in West Commonlands that were there for the 5TH Anniversary EQ bash) Sir Ariam Arcanum was already there. Alas, he would not give me the bridle no matter what I said and the token was for a friend of mine who was on his way. As soon as my friend zoned in he vanished. After an hour and a half of killing EVERYTHING in Befallen the Foreman never came back! I held the token that my friend seeked in my hands but it was no drop and pointless for me to keep. That was a waste. Tragic.

I was the first person to Befallen after the last patch. I decided to check tracking and kill the skeletal excavators in the order they spawned.
First was the one down the stairs on the left (by the locked door). Second was the one down the stairs on the right (by the door towards Lrodd). Third was up near the entrance behind the big rock (not the one closest to zonein, the one behind the rock). Fourth was the one closest to zonein.
I killed the first, then the second, then the third, that's when the foreman spawned and did a shout to the zone. I didn't bother to kill the fourth, just went and got the foreman.
YMMV

Just did this and it worked for me exactly as stated. Killed the first 3 skellys in order as listed above and foreman spawned immediately after the 3rd died.
HOW THE FREAK DO YOU GET THIS MOB TO SPAWN?????? HELP PLZ!!!!! (police sirens) I am starting to get mad, ohh, wait.. while playing on other 'puter, yup. i just snapped. im mad now.
Maybe I'm just totally lucky but I went to Befallen the past two nights in a row now; once to get the bridle quest and the next night to get the Arrialla's Token quest (I messed up the order of the questions). Anyway, the first night he spawned literally after me being there for 2 minutes. I never even had to enter a side room. The second night he spawned after about 10-15 minutes. I wasn't keeping track of what I killed but I know it wasn't too much. I can't figure out the spawn myself I'll go there again later and see if I can go 3 for 3.
After spending many hours trying to get some skeletal teeth for my monk I have this information to offer you all. The skeletal foreman spawns in the back of the big room as you enter befallen on the first floor. He spawns right in front of the skulls with the glowing eyes and is a triggered spawn. Killing all four skeletal excavators will spawn him but he is still a rare spawn. I cleared the whole room and the entrance passages everytime they spawned and only got him to spawn once in a several hour camping session. The one time I saw him spawn was just as I dropped the 4th excavator which leads me to believe they are his placeholder. When he spawns he shouts something across the zone to the effect of: Work harder you lazy blablabla. He didn't drop the teeth the one time I managed to get him so I gave up for now but I'll be back cause I now want this guy for three reasons. Hehe.
