You say, 'Hail, Rowain McKay'
Rowain McKay says, 'Hail, Narah! It's great ta see another adventurer here! I, myself, am a scout. Self employed, like all true adventurers. I can tell ya what's out there, if you're [interested]. I get it if ya got other leads, other things to follow up on, I get it. But other heroes will come along, and I'm here to tell them what I know.'
You say, 'interested'
Rowain McKay says, 'I thought you'd say that! Good for you! Well, I've been out to the place they call the Umbral Plains. This isn't like Norrath at all. Then again, it's not all that different. I mean sure, there's not day or night or whatever here, and the locals have too many arms. Then again, there sure are a lot of really large monsters. I've seen a massive horse thing. Something they call a Zelniak, but huge! There are a lot of those shadow things out there doing some sort of chanting. I have to admit I didn't wait to see what they were going to do with all that magic. And then there were them crazy lookin' things with the big eyes. I crept up on one of them, another massive thing, and when it noticed me it made the most hideous noise! I got my ass out of there when a bunch of smaller ones came runnin'. Anyway, the one real advantage I can offer is a quick way from here into the plains, if you [want] to take your chances.'
You say, 'want'
Rowain McKay says, 'Great! Just let me know when you're [ready]!'
You say, 'ready'
Rowain McKay says, 'Off you go!'

First, we set up the raid to be on the rear of the mob (south), and the tank will face it away(facing North) from the raid force. Second, the raid starts with all doing dps, but there will be several sets of adds during the event. They must be burned down as fast as possible and dps should be off the boss while this occurs. Control of dps is a must. The boss will change who can damage it (melee or casters) starting at 87 or so. If the wrong type damages the boss after the transition, it causes a big ae. Whichever group is not dpsing the boss must burn the adds. From 87 to 67ish, casters damage it (not sure about ranged). From 67 to 47ish, melee. From 47 to 30ish, casters. From 30 to 18, melee. From 18 to 0, all. At each transition, having pally GoL cast, shammy call of the ancients, or chanter glyph spray are all good ideas. The transitions cause big ae damage. There are 10( I think) sets of 3 adds (first set at 93 - a young zelnithak, a small zelnithak, and a zelnithak) and they are health based. Use off tanks to aggro and hold while dps burns them. After 18, there are none and raid full burns boss. Third, there will be occasional aes with rocks floating around. This is big damage, so have full ae healing going (whole raid). Popping geomantra is a must for the whole event. Fourth, there will be an emote about insects buzzing near a player. That named player must kite a red cloud away from the raid force, or they get hit with nasty ae damage. Do not kite too far, too fast, or the cloud will leash back to the raid force. One achievement is to keep the entire raid force inside the area surrounded by the sparkly electric looking things, so kite carefully. In summary, monitor dps transitions, kill adds fast, ae heal like crazy, and kite red aura away when needed. Good luck!
