NPC Spawn Issue: Certain Splitpaw/Gorge nameds are to kill one another

[Brut]

On live there were two things that'd happen in Paw and Gorge:
1. Lord Soptyvr, the evil eye who spawns on top of the throne at Gorge of King Xorbb, would be attacked soon as he spawns by the other EE's. A bit confused how that'll work here since Soptyvr is way higher lvl than the other EE's, but I guess the minos and muddites are also to attack him, at least on live.

2. Kurrpok Splitpaw in Splitpaw, spawns right infront of the Executioner. He's for the (broken! wink, wink) Jeweled Ruby quest. The guy is also supposed to be attacked, this time by the Executioner, soon as he spawns. Sort of an execution, apparently. ><

The JS quest also mentions this in comments, http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=39

1. Fixed, pending update.

-Lord Soptyvr will now be killed by his own kind.
-Added +Stormreaper and +Stormguard faction hits to evil eyes in beholder, eastkarana, and Runnyeye.

2. Does anyone know more about what happened with the Kurrpok event?

from a post on allakhazam :

Last night, I was leaving Paw, and decided to kill these guys (Judges and Executioner). As I was resting up, preparing to attack them, old Kurrpok Splitpaw (or however you spell it) spawned, and the Executioner killed him. Now, for those of you who don't remember back that far, Kurrpok used to be the head of the Splitpaw Clan of gnolls (the ones that lived here back when the game came out, before the Torn-Ears overran the place, and drove them out). Kurrpok used to spawn in the room that the Ishva now spawn in. He dropped a ruby that was one of the eyes for the Jewelled Skull (a nice caster item). When the Executioner killed him, he died mumbling what he used to, way back when... "my eye, blah blah blah". Now back in the day, when you killed him, a DE Wizard (higher than anything in the zone back then - about 30th level)would spawn and demand the gem. To my knowledge, when Kurrpok died last night, the wizard did not spawn (but I don't have track). I bet if you cleared the area (Judges and Exec), when Kurrpok spawned, you could kill him and get the gem. You get the second "eye" by killing Lynguna (or whatever) in Innothule Swamp (the troll woman that you can give rubies to for one of three items-including the nice earring). I don't know if the skull dropping assassin still spawns in West Karana, but I might just have to go check soon, for old times sake. Just kinda fun to watch the Executioner kill Kurrpok.

The DE your asking about Zixx something as I recall, use to spawn in response to the death of Kurrpok - he wanted the ruby pendant that Kurrpok dropped back. With the revamp of the dungeon, he no longer spawns.

-Should Kurrpok spawn in the Ishva room and path to executioner?

-Any research about the dark elf or text said?

Bump for more details.

Bleh. I need some researchers.

One of the prominent charmers missed above is Zixx Nenix the L20 Enchanter NPC who spawns from time to time in SplitPaw.

Will fix this as I can.

Kurrpok Splitpaw in Splitpaw, spawns right infront of the Executioner. He's for the (broken! wink, wink) Jeweled Ruby quest. The guy is also supposed to be attacked, this time by the Executioner, soon as he spawns. Sort of an execution, apparently. ><

Pending update:

Until more evidence is provided about the rest of this, fixed for the time being. He will spawn and be executed.

I didn't check this until today, but Lord Soptyvr in Gorge is not "being killed by his own kind."

Was this reversed intentionally at some point, or did he just go buggy again?

[dali_lb]

When did Soptyvr ever fight other EE's ?

Lord Soptyvr would spawn and BUFF EE's or Lord Sviir/Syrkl and pets if they were around.
If you Pulled Lord Soptyvr and werent at least well into green con to any other EE's around they would assist Soptyvr.

I think Soptyvr did have a faction of his own, but he was on same faction or at least friendly to EE's/Mino's/Mudites.

And your right he isn't getting killed, cause he shouldn't.
He would wipe the floor anyway with the other EE's as he's lvl 30 compared to 2 lvl 19-22.

Yeah the way I recall it was, Kurrpok was a pretty frequent spawn, but would die to the executioner in the room so you had to clear the room and get Kurrpok on the next pop before the others respawned. Then upon his death, either always or very frequently Zixx would pop on the other side of the water at the passage and would sit there for a bit then roam back into the dungeon a bit. Don't recall if he depops after a while or not.

Found this excerpt on Everlore from Aug 1999 that seems to corroborate my memory.

Specifically this post:

ok guys just some info on Zixx. Zixx always spawns after Kurpokk dies, He is a lvl 24 spell caster (he cons white to me at 24). I have killed him many times and he has always seems to be the same lvl. He casts some nasty spells and I recommend a group of at least 2 lvl 24 to take em. if you are a caster and kill kurpokk you can always gate and never have to face zixx. if you cannot gate, he usually leaves and patrolls the dungeon after a few minutes so if you sit and wait a while he may leave and you can get out without confronting him (if you are lucky )
also if you find the area where Kurpokk spawns and he is not there you need to kill everything in the area and he should spanw..

anyways good luck
