Hold for Reinforcements - A Proposed Change

[DDOKillingMachine]

Howdy.

Currently, in Hold for Reinforcements, you have to defend the library for 15 minutes, with the optional of keeping Coyle from receiving an incapacitating injury. During this time, Basthuul stands up on a second level, untouchable.

My suggestion is to take Basthuul out of the library until he's actually ready to attack, and then have him portal in. Why? Because in any quest, having the bad guy clearly in sight, not behind any kind of protection, but untouchable, is bad design. You see this in other quests (for example, Lords of Dust).

My proposed change for Hold for Reinforcements would not change the functionality of the quest, but would make it more palatable from story, design, and common sense angles.

Thank you.

while this might make sense story wise its only a minor change so it would be very low priority.

Master Artificer too. I agree with this, it would be cooler, but again as stated, low priority so probably not gonna happen :(
