Problems with Foomby's stolen goods

[Gitface]

Hi allWas tiding up some quest and decided to finish off Foomby's for the bag.  Do off I go and kill chopper, etc and get to the bit about killing all the lamia to get Baz Tarog to spawn.  So I start to kill the lamia with a good 10 mins to spare and go looking for Baz on his hill, problem is he was now were to be found, so I have a look rounf and no sign.So I'm thinking to myself, perhaps he's a bit shy, so I kill a second bunch, and nothing.  After the 3 bunch of dead lamia and no Baz I'm starting to think that something is up.Anyone else had problems with this quest recently?Cheers.

<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Had the same issue with the quest.  Did it 4 times without him spawning.</span></p><p>Talked with other groups in the area and they had been trying off and on all afternoon on Sunday.  Several of the NPCs for HQ quests are mia or completely broken and not talking.  Did some quests successfully on Friday, but seamed to break that night or sometime around then.  same thing has occurred with some of the Epic line turnins too.</p>

<p>Still having problems spawning it... andby the way, the NPC to start the "reaching blade" HQ in EL is also missing in action.... so i report the problem to SOE and I get 2 responses from SOE GM's:</p><p>-------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Greetings!This is Lead GM Kaasha.

I have read your petition and I understand you are experiencing an issue making the NPC "Baz'Tarog" spawn. I have checked that particular encounter for errors but was not able to detect any problems.

I can't get him to spawn and I've done this on different alts before.</p>

looks to me like there are some problems with this quest..GM kaasha being the "good lad" and replying with the canned response he was supposed to. GM gaunsky..dunno..probably typed in poke 36878 at a terminal got an error and thought "working as intended"

<p>Same problem last night. Killed the Lamias in the time allotted, but no Baz.</p><p>I love the GM's response. I guess that was under the "treat customer like a [Removed for Content]" part of his manual.</p><p>I didn't bug this in-game, but I'll be going back tomorrow night and I'll check.</p>

<p>Myself, my wife and a friend were doing this quest on our alts on Friday night. We had the exact same problem, the mob wouldnt spawn after killing the quota well within the timer expiration. I submitted a bug report but have yet to get a response. This was on the Everfrost server.</p><p>We also werent able to help our friend along on the Fury epic due to the same issue when spawning the chokidai pack. Something is amiss in EQ2-land and the GMs arent catching it.</p>
