The Lord will spawn without killing anything like Elites or High Shamans or triggering any quest. I was in BB, early morning east coast, only a bunch of low levels like 5-8, and only about 10 people in zone. I waited at the pit for an hour and a half and POP, the Lord spawned without me going around clearing anything.
However, I did kill anything that came into or spawned in the pit of spikes except the snakes. Just in case the Lord was on a spawn table, i would kill anything that spawned in his spot but wandered around thinking that it would path back to its original spot.
So leave all those Elites alone for the little guys and just sit your butt down in the spike pit and wait. The Lord will pop (and probably depop pretty quickly) so keep awake!
The Gnoll Slayer
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Marton Sayer may be found in a cottage in Qeynos Hills at around /loc 1400, 300, 9.
You say, 'Hail, Marton Sayer' Marton Sayer says 'Welcome. Please stock up on provisions, especially if you are headed toward the lair of the vile gnolls. If so, I wish you much luck and many gnoll pelts!! I also have knowledge of a [powerful dog]. I pray you do not encounter him.' You say, 'What powerful dog?' Marton Sayer says, 'I have encountered a gnoll who spoke the common tongue. He dared to call himself Lord Elgnub. He swore that some day we would cross paths and he would snatch my infant son Joseph from our home. He would stand no chance against me and the mighty [Gnoll Slayer].' You say, 'What is Gnoll Slayer?' Marton Sayer says, 'Gnoll Slayer is the mighty longsword which was passed down unto me through generations of Sayers. My days of battle are over, but I can still wield her with ferocity. The only thing more precious would be my son, Joseph Sayer. I would trade Gnoll Slayer only for him to be safe and sound at home.' Marton's initial dialogue is slightly different if you speak to him while carrying the baby, after asking about the gnoll slayer you get: Marton Sayer says, 'Gnoll Slayer is the mighty longsword which was passed down unto me through generations of Sayers. My days of battle are over, but I can still wield her with ferocity. The only thing more precious would be my son, [Joseph Sayer]. I would trade Gnoll Slayer only for him to be safe and sound at home.' You say, 'Joseph Sayer' Marton Sayer says, 'You speak of my son, Joseph Sayer. He is but an infant and is safe here with Mira and me... At least, I believe he is.' Lord Elgnub can occasionally be found wandering around BlackBurrow. Kill him and loot Baby Joseph Sayer, which you should bring back to Joseph. Marton Sayer says 'Baby Joseph!! Look, Momma!! Baby Joseph has been rescued by this good adventurer!! That evil Lord Elgnub made good on his word and snatched my son from under our noses. You saved the day!! For this shall wield 'Gnoll Slayer'!! Be aware of its [true potential].'

Marton Sayer says 'The true potential of Gnoll Slayer is an enchantment which was once imbedded into a gnoll's eye which was placed into the hilt of the blade. The spell would help you fight off disease and call forth a wolf to fight beside you. Alas, the gnoll eye was stolen from the blade by a great, one-eyed, white gnoll. Alone with the eye, the only book which explained how to return the enchantment was also stolen. I know not where this gnoll might be. If you can find the journal and the eye, return them with the Gnoll Slayer to me for I have been searching for decades.' Head to South Karana. Kill a one eyed gnoll (located in the northern part of the zone (/loc?) to loot a Gnoll's Eye. Kill a Lteth Val Scribe (/loc?) to loot a Journal of Greater Enchantment. Give the eye, journal, and intermediate Gnoll Slayer to Marton. Marton Sayer says 'The eye and the journal! What a great day! The Gnoll Slayer shall be returned to full strength because of you. Your service to Qeynos will not soon be forgotten.' Your faction standing with Merchants of Qeynos has been adjusted by 200.

Took my level 40 ogre into Blackburrow tonight to kill the gnolls for faction. Ran around endlessly, killing gnoll after gnoll (except those on the top floors where most of the lower levels spawn, I left those to the groups/players up there at the time.) I occasionally ran by the spike pit near the false door where Elgnub spawns checking for him. Eventually, he spawned and I beat him to a pulp w/o any problems at all. Being an ogre it was a tough decision to keep the child versus eating it raw. I was able to do the turn in with dubious faction with the merchant in Qeynos Hills.
What I know:
1. Talking to Maytron Sayer has absolutely nothing to do with spawning Elgnub. I didn't do it and he popped just fine for me in under an hour.
2. For some odd reason, 5 minutes after I killed him I came back to find him respawned! I pulled him to a nearby group of 10-15's and helped them wax him for the exp. Since the Baby Sayer is Lore, i let them keep the second one.
3. Elgnub...hmm, sony seems to love anagrams (is this the right word?) Take Qeynos for instance, spell it backward: S-o-n-y-E-Q. Now, do the same with Elgnub. You spell out BUNGLE. As in to ***** up. Very ironic if you consider that the second part of the Gnoll Slayer Quest was apparently broken for ages! Perhaps, Sony is evil afterall and created the quest just to irritate people
4. They made it NO DROP! CURSES! They did have a good reason for doing so: The final version of this item gives you the ability to cast the level 34 (?) shaman pet spell three times. There was no level restriction on it, meaning that you could give the sword to a level one player and he/she could cast the pet and level themselves easily to 15-20 in no time at all. Still, making it NO DROP means that virtually no one is going to quest it anymore. You'd be just as well off getting a Wurmslayer which will have the same attack vs delay (25/40) all the time instead of just against gnolls.
