Retlon Brenclog (gnome slave in Crushbone) is supposed to be insta-spawn (he is not)
 

Please see the thread here (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=354), multiple mentions from classic until 2008 about Retlon Brenclog insta popping as soon as being killed (and even multiples being possible to be spawned depending on his location from spawn point).

As of this moment, it's been 10+ minutes and he still has not respawned after being killed.

Game impact is it is unnecessarily difficult to raise The Dead faction here than it was on classic (a kill every 15+ minutes vs many kills a minute).

It also seems like "an elven slave" spawns in his place as a PH over 50% of the time - given the old information, it doesn't seem that he has a PHer.
