Praetor's Blade of Debility. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1487

I've recently tried this quest as a 47 bard, seeing that it would be a pretty easy quest for a decent mid-level sword, or maybe to sell (I spent at least 9 hours here, much to the chagrin and ire of my g/f). However after locating Elisah Astari standing atop of his rock...I used the bait and zone technique to get him off of the rock and into level ground. After rezoning, I "hail"-ed him, and handed him the note...he immediately dissappeared, and Tergus did NOT spawn. I can say this with complete conviction on three accounts. 1.) Tergus did not spawn where Elisah stood when I handed Elisah the note. 2.) Tergus did not spawn on my second attempt at "hail"-ing Elisah on his rock. I had my song to see invisible playing exclusively with the Amplification song, just for s&gs. There is a small portion of the stone on which Elisah stands(and in a lot of large rocks) where you can "peer" inside, so to speak, it is assumably some sort of little known bug, but whatever the case may be, there was no Tergus inside the rock. 3.) He of course would not show up on track because of his invisibility(?), but I did a very thourough "walkabout" of the entire TS zone(under water too! With my song of see invis going with amplification and breath song).
I may be full of hokey and just not seeing what's there(although Tergus is supposed to spawn invisible). Let me know if this has been updated or removed.
Thanks
