T'Thuun's Marauders

Current Status of the Raids
Update November 10th:

I have turned in 30 invoking stones of 8 different types in so far and the investigator still has no new response (this is insane : how many do we have to turn in ???).

8 raids have been presently identified. All have different stones. The sequence of events for each raid has been nailed down.

New boss creatures have been seen. A Patriarch's Inquisitor was found near a device at a raider spawn site when no other creatures were around. The Inquisitor dropped no special items (except a stone) but gave a local broadcast upon death. Shortly after dying the normal raid creatures spawned. After talking to the Royal Scout nearby I received a new title ("Marked by the Patriarchs") and 5 million xp. A Patriarch's Champion was seen at a marauder spawn site. The Champion gave the same title when killed.

I think that in order for the raids to progress the Inquisitor/Champion must be killed. Until they are killed the regular spawn will not return.

General
T'huun's forces are raiding different locations on Dereth. Floating pyramids have appeared over three towns and portal devices have appeared at several locations around Dereth. These devices are accompanied by raiding creatures. There is a Royal Scout that gives you three kill tasks for each of the different types of raiding creatures: Moarsmen, Scalvus, and Falatacot (Undead). All the raid monsters can drop Invoking Stones (33% drop rate). You can turn 30 stones in to the Royal Scout for a title and experience plus it appears to flag you for some unknown future content as well with Asheron's Investigator in Eastham.

Pyramid Locations:
 * Arwic
 * Ayan Baqur
 * Mayoi

Sequence of Events During Raids:

1. The Device and a large amount of regular raiders/marauders spawn in the area. 2. After every single creature has been killed a smaller group will spawn near the device including 4 Executioners (for the Marauder spawns) or 4 Elites (for the Raider spawns). 3.After every creature in the 2nd wave has been killed an Inquisitor (for the Raider spawns) or a Champion (for the Marauder spawns) will appear without any other regular spawn accompanying him. 4.After the Champion/Inquistitor is dead the device will disappear.

Note

 * When you turn in the Invoking Stones to the Royal Guard he takes all the stones not just 30 so if you pick up more than 30 the extra will be wasted.
 * High Level characters that complete the lower level raids will still get a grand casino key, however, they will not get any experience.
 * Invoking Stone stack size is 30.
 * All guards give the same kill tasks, talking to any guard to receive the kill task or the reward. The only difference in the guards is the type of Invoking Stone they take.
 * All raiders or marauders count toward the same kill task no matter where they are. So killing a Marauder in Silyun is the same as killing a Marauder in Tou-Tou.
