Here's a good tip I wish someone had posted before I tackled this guy's tasks.
If you target him and say "slow the hand" he shows you all 3 of his tasks and you can get them all at once. This saves running after this guy and avoiding the darn refugees from The Sorceror's Apprentice (the see-invis roaming broomsticks.) Plus you can do the steps interchangeably, meaning even the kill steps not shown until you visit the rooms can still be accomplished in advance. This is helpful if you have to clear any mobs even to enter a room to get the flag for visiting it. Plus some of the steps can be down routinely in completing other tasks, such as the interminable A Beginning from An End.

Pre-Requisites for Requesting: - Minimum Level 95 - Completed "Key to the Citadel" - Completed "What Lies Above" Say "slow" to request the task. You say, 'Hail, Serphus Arlis' Serphus Arlis looks down the hall before conversing with you. His voice is a whisper, 'A friend of Tsalis is a friend of mine. Are you looking to [slow] the hand of the praetor?' You say, 'Let's slow the 'hand'' Serphus Arlis continues whispering while looking around nervously, 'I have a few ideas on how we can slow them down.'
