Killed Trakanon 8 times with no strings. I had the Mystical Lute Body in my inventory for the last kill and noticed the Undead Bard was standing next to Trakanon. I zone another toon in and the Undead Bard disappeared. I killed Trakanon and zoned everyone out except for the bard, I parked my bard in his cave and logged out for about 30 min's. When I logged back in with the bard, the Undead Bard was again up. I killed the trash mobs that roam around Trakanons spawn point and hailed the Undead Bard.
Undead Bard Script:
[Hail]
"Hail, {NAME}. Are you perchance a minstrel?"
[I am a minstrel}
"I' too, am a bard, or was rather. I have been cursed by that blasted pile of bones who calles itself, Trakanon."
[What is Trakanon?]
"He is the undead dragon who rules this realm. I came on a quest seeking strings for my new instrument."
[What new instrument?]
"I sought to create a Magical Lute."
[What Magical Lute?]
"One that would make me the greatest bard in all the lands! Are you on a similar quest?"
[I am on a similar quest]
"Excellent. I have stayed here far too long and wish to go to my eternal slumber. But before I do so, I ask for one last request."
[What last request?]
"Well then, I would ask you a favor for one in return. If I bring that cursed dragon here, will you kill it for me?"
[I will kill it for you]
"Give me the Mystical Lute Body you have. I will return it, don't worry. I only wish to hold an instrument one last time before I leave."
~Hand the Mystical Lute Body to the Undead Bard and he returns it back to you and says:
"I feel so powerful once again...a strange feeling is overcoming me!"
~The Undead Bard will aggro - Once you kill the Undead Bard, Trakanon will spawn in his normal place.
[Trakanon dropped x2 Undead Dragongut Strings and x1 Jaundiced Bone Breastplate.]
