I shouted a bunch of warnings for a an hour or two before handing in, and made sure no players were exping in the path of the geonid train at the time of turn in, but poor little Hilenaa had been taking hours long afk breaks in that spot for several days...
Turn in text for the Azureite Focus and the 3 Holy Symbols of Zek, which leads to them running out of the cave to spawn The Menhir
[Tue Feb 27 12:44:43 2018] Phenocryst 's thoughts become your own, a feeling of joy overwhelms you, 'Because of you we can at last speak with our maker. We were once given a gift, and we ask that you accept this gift from us now so that we may come closer to that which we owe our sentience to. Now..,we must construct the Menhir..'
[Tue Feb 27 12:44:43 2018] You gain experience!!
[Tue Feb 27 12:44:53 2018] You shout, 'Geonid party heading out. Watch yourself'
[Tue Feb 27 12:45:45 2018] You say, 'oh no!'
[Tue Feb 27 12:45:51 2018] You say, 'noooo'
(i wasn't close enough for the kill message to land in my logs, but, rip Hilenaa, the afk cleric)
At this point the geonids are now all outside the western cave
[Tue Feb 27 12:48:34 2018] Your Location is -1121.31, -28.52, -115.68
[Tue Feb 27 12:48:34 2018] Phenocryst begins to resonate again, commanding the geonids to come together and form the Menhir. Holding the Beryl, Stibnite, and Iron Crystals, the Phenocryst joins the other geonids as they form one huge structure. Immediately an intense buzz pierces the air, threatening to deafen you!
Emote spam from every geonid. I removed the instances of the shamans casting and the buff text. A few had their spells interrupted by the despawn.

[Tue Feb 27 12:48:41 2018] The Menhir regards you indifferently -- looks like it would wipe the floor with you!
[Tue Feb 27 12:48:46 2018] You say, 'Hail, The Menhir'
No reply to hails. I made sure I was inside its model, right between its legs, when hailing.
[Tue Feb 27 12:48:47 2018] The Menhir judges you amiably -- looks like it would wipe the floor with you!
[Tue Feb 27 12:48:55 2018] The Menhir 's resonation becomes dangerously intense. Cracks form along the stones like lightning across a sky. Smaller stones begin to crumble and fall to the ground as the earth begins to tremble. Something seems to have gone wrong; you decide you should leave the immediate area as quickly as possible.
RIP. You were too beautiful for this world.
[Tue Feb 27 12:49:05 2018] The Menhir begins to cast a spell.
It cast a spell just before despawning but it wasn't Supernova and it didn't damage me. I don't remember what the particles looked like. I think it was just standard self buffing from a caster mob that just spawned.
I was going to edit all this into the wiki at the time, then a powerful feeling of no one cares overcame me.

edit: After finding this screenshot, it looks like it did cast some kind of pbaoe fire spell. It must be very short range, because I wasn't hit where I was standing. As you can see, Menhir is not frost giant sized. Barely bigger than a standard geonid, if not the same size.
