TheWoWDBFor those getting the "No valid targets" error, fly your character up as high as needed then /dismount so your character dies, or find another way for your character to die. Character death resolved the issue for lots of players having this bug.

When I got back stage disguised as a tree I found one of those eyes with the blue circle around it. Like on the mobs you had to avoid but with no mob. Couldn't get around it until I got rid of the tree disguise. It went away when I did that.
You will need to go where the Star Lake Ampitheater is for this next quest. Before going on stage you will need to click your Extra Action Button ([spell=323723])in order to disguise yourself as a tree. Once you are disguised with [spell=323723] you will see npc's on the stage that have the "Stealth Detector" radius and icon. Be careful not to get in their radius or they will see you. You will then go to where each spotlight is on the stage. After going to both spotlights you will head to the backstage area and on your left will be [object=341814].
Once you have looted the object [npc=162679] decides you need to pull a prank. So you will head to the opposite platform where [npc=165736] is located and then pick any of the three options. After doing that then you will turn in for the next part.
Note #1: You can use all your abilities while disguised including movement boosting.
Note #2: If a Night Fae has summoned the rare you can still attack the rare while disguised and even loot it.
Note #3: If you still have the [spell=323723] (tree disguise) applied then in order to get rid of the tree disguise you will have to right-click the debuff off.Coordinate Locations for TomTom/Paste:

Description
The next thing we need to prepare the vessel is a set of Night's Veil Flowers. We use these flowers in our ceremonies, but since the drought we've just used them as props in our plays. There are certainly some backstage at the Star Lake Amphitheater. I bet Moonberry is there for the rehearsal of their next play. As a bonus, this will work out quite nicely for me to get revenge on her. <Willowblossom flashes a wicked grin.>
