Beware that if you are splitting the 5 groups of guards at their houses one of two really bad things can happen...
First, the guards can warp and end up stuck in the impassable wall of fire. You can't see them to nuke or hit them, however, since they do SUMMON, I was able to send in a caster pet and it ate it..then warped out on top of my caster. Not so horrible them.
Second, they also can flat out poof...and drop off track all together. That's a bad day since the step really wants you to have to kill all 15 guards to get all 4 of the items.
I ended up having to "leave" and drop this one to start over ;x

Call of the Forsaken Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor About Heroic Adventures - Heroic adventures in Call of the Forsaken scale in level: As low as Level 75 and up to current maximum level. - Scale is based on the highest level player present in the zone and affects difficulty, loot quality, and mob levels. - There is some variation/randomization in the task steps you'll be assigned as you progress through the task. - Time of completion will vary by your group's makeup (anywhere from 30-90+ minutes). - Collection items appear as ground spawns midway through tasks (you'll see an emote indicating their appearance). - Named mobs (or their PHs) spawn midway through tasks (usually, but always, at the same time collection items appear). - These tasks have individual 3-hour lockout timers (timer gained upon completion). Experience in Heroic Adventures - Mobs in these instances grant some experience, but the bulk of experience is earned upon task completion. - As of a patch in November 2014, less difficult tasks were tuned to reward less experience and more difficult ones were tuned to reward more. - For an added experience bonus, check out Guard Hamarn's "Daily Tasks". This is a heroic adventure (1-6 players) that begins with Marla Gaslow (click for map image) in the Ethernere Tainted West Karana. She is located in the guard camp where the Guild Hall portal sends you (/loc -1000, 345, -315).

Step #5: - Speak with Fredrick Gaslow 0/1 --- Hail update. - The task LOCKS at this point. - At this point in the task, collectibles spawn in the zone (ground spawns) and a named (or its PH) has a chance to spawn.

70 aa's per 105 toon, for completion, during double-XP weekend, with 100% XP potion running.
Collectibles are brutal to find in this zone since it's huge and with all the fires everywhere, if a collectible spawns inside a burning area, good luck picking it out of the background. We did find one lying in a grassy area. (Didn't bother to try to shut off flame effects, btw. The collectibles possible here aren't very scarce.)
Some comments of possible interest:
15 guards spawned, in groups of 3 at each of 5 houses. I figured we'd probably have to kill them all to get all 4 drops. Got one drop from the first kill and then none at all until we were down to 3 guards left. This caused us concern that maybe we were bugged and not going to get all 4. Killed last 3 guards. First had nothing. Oops! Next had one of the items. Last corpse had TWO items!
Way to tease, EQ!
The last step can be tricky to box since you have to have all your toons following the villagers who move pretty fast. We didn't want to test letting the mobs spawn and pulling them at a distance afterwards for fear they could kill a villager and blow the whole mission.
