I had two groups with myself and one other lvl 120 kill [npc=119959] way too fast, that is to say right after he spawned and it bugged the scenario out. Mayla will not acknowledge the kill and remain kneeling, preventing the scenario from continuing. There is no way to reset this. The only thing you can do is use 'teleport out of dungeon' and then leave instance, that way you can queue up again right away.

My third group was the members of the second, so forewarned, I suggested letting Gargath fully spawn and then getting him to attack us, which I did by proximity aggro. Worked like a charm.

Description

Our defenses have grown in strength, yet the Legion continues to press their assault on Thunder Totem. There is but one way to put an end to this madness - we must strike at the heart of their forces together and bring these attacks to an end.
