    This event begins with the slaying of Barducks Darkpaw.

    Barducks Darkpaw's corpse shouts, 'A curse upon you pitiful manlings! Avenge me my brothers and raze their pathetic settlement! Ruin their land as they've ruined ours!'

    Three waves of gnolls attack the town. The first wave consists of regular gnolls. The second (and third?) wave(s) consist of gnoll assassins which can drop class-specific quest pieces:

    Book of Gnollish Hymns
    Gnoll Dousing Rod
    Gnoll Oracle Medicine Bag
    Gnoll Pitfighter Gloves
    Gnoll Warriors Crest
    Gnollish Holy Symbol
    Runed Gnollish Tome

    Here's the emote where all the villagers despawn and respawn as the war event versions of themselves :

    The sound of war drums echo through the forest and a rough inhuman voice calls out a war cry. 'Brothers, now is the time of our revenge! Destroy the human settlement and claim it as our own! For Barducks and clan Darkpaw!'

    If you keep at least Sergeant Caelin alive, all the gnolls despawn (even while fighting them) and this message appears:

    Sergeant Caelin shouts, 'It appears the gnolls have been routed but at what a cost? Many of the innocents I have sworn to protect have perished this day. Karana forgive my dreadful failure. If you can show me that you assisted in defense of the fort, you shall be compensated.'

    If no villagers die you will see this:

    Sergeant Caelin shouts, 'It appears the gnolls have been routed with nary a casualty to report! My thanks to everyone, all that can prove they have assisted with this spectacular victory shall be richly rewarded!'

    Also If no villagers die, Jardor Darkpaw spawns.

    Here's the message when he spawns.

    an inhuman voice screams from the distance, 'You may have defeated some of my brothers but clan Darkpaw is far from broken! Prepare yourselves, for you shall soon know my wrath!'

    Jardor drops Head of Jardor Darkpaw (What is this used for?)

    When handing in the quest items :

    Sergeant Caelin says, 'You are brave and a valiant one, _____. Alas, the people whom I have been sworn to protect have been mostly wiped out. Take this as a token of my gratitude for your assistance today.'

    We did a flawless win on the test server. I could not load the items on lucy from test server.

    One of the reward was "Mace of the Defender" Bard only weapon. Stats are similar to Long Sword of the Defender but the dmg were 11 and delay were 20.

    The other is Shaman Bracer which is exactly the same as the cleric bracer in stats and looks. only difference is class usuable.

    We look forward to someone doing this on a live server so the item collector can pick up those items!

    So if you don't let any villagers die, a boss spawns : Jardor Darkpaw

    Here's the message when he spawns :
    [Sat May 12 00:24:18 2018] an inhuman voice screams from the distance, 'You may have defeated some of my brothers but clan Darkpaw is far from broken! Prepare yourselves, for you shall soon know my wrath!'

    Jardor drop :
    [Sat May 12 00:25:10 2018] -- x has looted a Head of Jardor Darkpaw.--

    None of the npc's in the village accept the head of Jardor (at ally faction)

    text for flawless (no villager deaths) event finish :
    [Sat May 12 00:25:10 2018] Sergeant Caelin shouts, 'It appears the gnolls have been routed with nary a casualty to report! My thanks to everyone, all that can prove they have assisted with this spectacular victory shall be richly rewarded!'

    Handing in quest drops :
    [Sat May 12 00:26:38 2018] Sergeant Caelin says, 'That was excellent work on your part! Take this as your reward, we all owe you our lives!'
    [Sat May 12 00:26:38 2018] Your faction standing with Residents of Jaggedpine has been adjusted by 50.
    [Sat May 12 00:26:38 2018] Your faction standing with Jaggedpine Treefolk could not possibly get any better.
    [Sat May 12 00:26:38 2018] Your faction standing with Protectors of Pine has been adjusted by 25.
    [Sat May 12 00:26:38 2018] Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos could not possibly get any better.

    So faction hits are even higher at a flawless run, rewards are already listed, but as expected they were the clicky items / weapons, and bracers as the "unlucky" reward.

    I did this again today, this time I think 4 villagers died and the messages/rewards seem different (the rewards I got today are already listed for the quest). Anyways here's the message at the end of the war :

    [Sun Mar 18 23:59:53 2018] Sergeant Caelin shouts, 'It appears the gnolls have been routed. Alas some of the residents of Fort Jaggedpine have perished. Those who can present proof they have helped in defending the fort this day shall be rewarded.'

    and then here's the message when handing in the quest items (also the faction hits are bigger, for keeping more villagers alive apparently)

    [Mon Mar 19 00:00:03 2018] Sergeant Caelin says, 'Thank you for your help. Without you, things may have been much worse. Loss of life is a tragic thing indeed. Wear this in remembrance of this day.'
    [Mon Mar 19 00:00:04 2018] Your faction standing with Residents of Jaggedpine has been adjusted by 25.
    [Mon Mar 19 00:00:04 2018] Your faction standing with Jaggedpine Treefolk could not possibly get any better.
    [Mon Mar 19 00:00:04 2018] Your faction standing with Protectors of Pine has been adjusted by 12.
    [Mon Mar 19 00:00:04 2018] Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos has been adjusted by 2.
    [Mon Mar 19 00:00:04 2018] You gain experience (with a bonus)!

    Also I think the rewards are 3 tiers

    Tier 1 (save all the villagers) - haven't done this personally, but assuming the best items (the helmets, orb of defender, longsword)
    Tier 2 (save some of the villagers) - bracers / belts - I got 2 bracers and 5 belts for getting this outcome
    Tier 3 (save very few villagers) - potions and chance of getting belts - I got 1 belt and 2 potions for this outcome

    I'm planning on running this event some more to see if there's any other items, will post update once I do!

    Ok so here's Barduck dying and starting the event :

    [Fri Aug 11 21:24:36 2017] Barducks Darkpaw's corpse shouts, 'A curse upon you pitiful manlings! Avenge me my brothers and raze their pathetic settlement! Ruin their land as they've ruined ours!'

    here's the emote where all the villagers despawn and respawn as the war event versions of themselves :

    [Fri Aug 11 21:29:24 2017] The sound of war drums echo through the forest and a rough inhuman voice calls out a war cry. 'Brothers, now is the time of our revenge! Destroy the human settlement and claim it as our own! For Barducks and clan Darkpaw!'

    If you keep at least Sergeant Caelin alive, all the gnolls despawn (even while fighting them) and this message happens:

    [Fri Aug 11 21:44:16 2017] Sergeant Caelin shouts, 'It appears the gnolls have been routed but at what a cost? Many of the innocents I have sworn to protect have perished this day. Karana forgive my dreadful failure. If you can show me that you assisted in defense of the fort, you shall be compensated.'

    When handing in the quest items they all give the same message :

    [Fri Aug 11 21:44:23 2017] Sergeant Caelin says, 'You are brave and a valiant one, _____. Alas, the people whom I have been sworn to protect have been mostly wiped out. Take this as a token of my gratitude for your assistance today.'

    [Fri Aug 11 21:44:23 2017] Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos has been adjusted by 1.
    [Fri Aug 11 21:44:23 2017] You gain party experience!

    reward that wasn't listed :
    [Fri Aug 11 21:44:40 2017] You say, 'Elixir of Promise'

    came from the gnollish holy symbol hand-in

    Also I believe I only had Sergeant Caelin alive at the end, it seems like his text and rewards will be different if more villagers live

    Good Berries
    Griffon Wing
    Belt of Mourning
    Sash of Mourning (x2 = 1 for CLR, 1 for SHM)
    Cloth Cord of Mourning

    I killed Barducks, and about ten minutes later, the town folk repopped per tracking. The gnolls started to attack. Former merchants and the banker were no longer right clickable for a merchant/banker window. There were three waves of gnolls, the first wave was only 'a gnoll' and about ten total. The second wave was a little smaller, and at least one 'a gnoll assassin' The third wave was smaller still, and at least one gnoll assassin. All the town folk died, except one, and sadly the seargent died. Note: I had one runner on the first wave, and the second wave didn't start until I tracked him down and killed him. Loot was some plat from all the gnolls killed, three "Runed Gnollish Tome", one 'gnoll pitfighter gloves' and one 'gnollish holy symbol'. I got at least one of these items from the second wave.

    From What I saw, the gnolls attack specific towns folk, and when the town person is dead, the gnolls stand around waiting for something to happen, but don't seem to move on to other targets. My strategy next time will be to protect Sarge (it helps to know this ahead of time). When attacks on him cease, then go round up all the other gnolls.

    The gnolls could be attacked and would loose aggro on the humans, and follow me around. The humans didn't follow the gnolls around once I dragged the gnoll off. Once I had a bunch of gnolls following me, Hail of Arrows worked well at softening them up.

    I waited for the town folk to repop, and tried to do the turn in for the items I mentioned above, to Sergeant Caelin. He returned them to me saying he had no use for them. I suspect this is a different version of the sarge, and therefore not able to give the reward. Alternatively, I was turning in items which are not for my class. Maybe if I didn't camp, killed Barducks tomorrow, and waited for the townfolk to repop as quest mobs I could do the turn in then. Considering the reward is kind of useless at level 75, I don't think I will be doing that.

    Sgt Caelin would take my gnoll items for "of Mourning" lefsser rewards. He would not take Gnoll Canines during this phase. I agree he seems to be in a different mode during/after the event.
