When you hand the implant to the necro, you have to wait quite a while for
what's-his-name to show up out there. He spawns in the building on the hill
and walks to the end of the bridge.

He spawns with two attendants. They wait for some time in the doorway of
the Paldin's guild, then walk to the hill where the precursor NPCs waited.
When he shouts "We move onward!", he starts to RUN to his inevitable death
at Drolvarg temple. Since passing NPCs in FV will buff him, he has a strong
possibility of being SoWed, too.
Here are some tips to help:
1) Get a "spotter" in FV to watch the NPCs as they pop, and tell you when
they're heading to the hill. That gives you ample time to prepare your
attack. Since the mobs you're killing drop some High Elf Pally gear, you may
look for one of them that lacks scruples. ;-)
2) Someone around level 53 or so can single-pull the second set of mobs on
the hill. In particular, I watched a 53 WIZ nuke Sgt. Daelione into a
crater, and his friends do nothing. Note that if this is done, the other
NPCs on the hill will NOT leave the hill until after the nobleman has run
away - the Sgt. must call them away, and if he can't the Field Medic will do
so a fair while later.
3) The faction hit for killing these NPCs isn't bad. The aforementioned 53
WIZ walked back into town after helping kill both the nobleman and the Sgt.
to bank. So bug those friends of yours to help out.
4) If you attack the nobleman in the FV-controlled section of the zone, the
Drixies and pilgrims will help, and they are ANNOYING. Try to let him get to
the Drolvarg/Frog areas before either engaging (if worried about being KSed
by an NPC - unlikely before the Temple area) or pulling him to a Swamp zone
(recommended, fewer adds).
5) If you want to attempt a fight near FV, then the "pier" that's along the
beach to the left of the bridge to FV (facing out from FV) is a safe point
that no pilgrims/drixies path to. If anything runs, though, you'll have
problems. Note also that all the druid pilgrims cast See Invis on all the
other mobs, so it might be prudent to swim across the small bay to the pier,
instead of walking along the beach from the Iksar statue where Vekis can be
found. For pulling the mob, have a friendly druid apply liberal doses of
Harmony to anything in the pull path.
Good luck! Oh, one more thing: if you have a SK friend, Lady Chromere
spawns right near where the adventurers pause. You could pull her to the
bridge no problem, or do what I did once and Charm her and walk her there.

Vekis spawned, couldn't tell if someone had tried to kill him or he died "on
his own"
I will try again!

He died on his own when he made it to Drolvarg Temple. That's why the
scourge of Lake hunters everywhere, Vekis, keeps spawning: when the Sergeant
dies, Vekis spawns, period.

Good luck!
