    After Skeleton Lrodd spawns from the 3rd step I have tried all of the following:
    • Hailing him or trying to start some script. Doesn't update.
    • Killing him with level 120 (unshrouded) instantly at spawn, doesn't update.
    • Killing him slowly with a level 30 or 40 shrouded, while killing his adds that spawn at 75%, 50% and 25%. At spawn point, doesn't update.
    • Killing him slowly at level 30 or 40, while leaving all his adds up until after he is killed. At spawn point, doesn't update.
    • Repeating all of the above after waiting a few minutes before engaging (thought maybe there was some lagged script to it). Doesn't update.
    • Hailing him or trying to start some script after his 10% emote. Doesn't update.
    • Repeating all of the above (but pulling him from his spawn point). Doesn't update.
    • Ignoring that this step won't update and continuing on with quest hoping a later step would fix it being stuck. Can only get to the step requiring you to kill Skrepiz Plaquebringer (doesn't spawn until prior step updates which can't happen with this bug).

    Tried this myself awhile back and had the same issue. Unlikely this small and old of a bug gets touched.
