Quest Issue: Wizard epic quest faction hits

[Just facts]

Another step seems to be bugged:
You say, 'I wish to hear your story.'

Arantir Karondor says 'I once was one of four true followers of Solusek Ro. So great were the four of us that Solusek Ro himself made us each a special item. We did not know what the others' items were, but we realized that was for our own safety. Each one of us, after receiving the item, began to plot against Solusek Ro. Each of us believed we had enough power to dominate Norrath. Solusek Ro saw this and at the time we needed our powers most, he stripped us of them. Now I know two of the other wizards by name. One was called Sylen Tyrn, the other's name was Demunir Scry. The last wizard was a gnome, but I can't think of his name.

so you say each step and after this one:
Demunir Scry - Gnarled Staff

You say, 'What about Demunir Scry?'

Arantir Karondor says 'Demunir was a human in a rush for power. He was extremely intelligent and resourceful but, unfortunately, was more interested in destructive magic. Hearing of an ancient land, he immediately traveled to it, believing there to be powerful relics left undiscovered there. While exploring, he came upon a dwelling that housed a powerful warrior. Believing himself to be more powerful, he attempted to take this dwelling for himself. While in battle with this warrior, Solusek Ro stole his powers and left him helpless. It is said that Demunir's item is the warrior's most prized trophy."

Even if you are activly talking to him he despawns, basicly forces you to redo the quest multiple times, paying 2k to redo it if you follow the quest line.
the 3 min timer should be if noone talks to him or hails him.

I got to the "What about Demunir Scry?" and after spaming the quest reply line he despawned before I could even paste and copy the next line, so I didn't recive a note for the next step.


the quest NPC is supposed to stay active as long as you are talking to him:
