Currently there is no stay and help rule. The delay from roll to turn in is there to give time to assemble the required force.

I've been monitoring the rolls the last few spawns and it seems the current roll time is 30 minutes before Gloradin spawns. This appears to be plenty to assemble a force. Making a wiki page for the player agreement, will link it here shortly.

Haven't done ring 8 on P99, but I see again, talk of assembling "a force". On live a druid could solo it : harmony the mob nearby, root rot.

Optional: pre-camp your invis level 1 inside the fort at the spawn point, log in and loot.

on p99, Garadain will charge the orcs and giants about five minutes after initial turnin, preventing you from turning in the chief's head. which I feel but have no proof can't be classic, as it makes no sense even by the relatively low standards of sense-making in classic everquest.

Well, in this case the event is not scripted properly on P99. Garadain is supposed to go through a series of shouts to the zone taking at least 15 minutes, possibly 20 or more, concluding with him calling a charge, and even then he hangs back.

I could kill the rygorr, loot with alt, run up invis to Garadain and still have to wait another 10 minutes for the event to unfold.

I don't like calling this (or similar situations) a player agreement since it binds players who did not agree to it, under a threat of of GM sanction. It may have started out as a player agreement but once it's forcibly applied to folks who weren't present for its creation and who never agreed to it then it's a straight-up server rule. This is not to say I have a problem with the rule, only with the terminology being used.
