Requesting the Task
You say, 'Hail, Deidre Harath'
Deidre Harath says 'Narius, Fenn, and Adana are dead, and you are every bit the legend I've heard. It's tragic, what happened with Narius, but that's what happens when you don't keep a grip on things. In any case, we still have a problem. The Scions are scattered, but Kyle Bayle's undead soldiers are massing up near the top of the tower. This could be bad. Did you have a plan for stopping Bayle? A small [strike team] or a large [raid force]?'
You say, 'I have a small strike team'
Deidre Harath says 'Very well, I shall escort you to the top of the tower. Tell me when you are [ready] to depart.'
You have been assigned the task 'The Fall of Lord Bayle'.
Captain Deidre Harath has agreed to escort your party to the top of the tower where the spectre of Lord Kyle Bayle resides.
Speak with Lord Kyle Bayle to reveal your intentions.
You say, 'Ready!'
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Tower of Rot - The Fall.
Triggering the Event
Say "fight" to trigger the event.
You say, 'Hail, Lord Kyle Bayle'
Lord Kyle Bayle's gaze remains transfixed on the dirty stained glass window as he speaks, 'Given how quickly you were able to cut down Kanteer I knew it was simply a matter of time before your army breached the walls of my sanctum.' He breathes heavily and releases an audible sigh, 'I do owe you a debt of gratitude for expunging this land of the corruption that has taken hold of my subordinates. Now I fear that I must ask what it is you hope to accomplish by raiding my tower.'
You admit that you are [here to take the Qeynos Claymore].
You say, 'I'm here to take the Qeynos Claymore'
Lord Kyle Bayle looks closely at his blade before turning his focus to you. He speaks with a disinterested sense of melancholy you might attribute to his undead form, 'You seek the heirloom of my lineage, the holy rite of my father and his father before him? You are clearly no common bandit, so there is no doubt that someone tasked you with this quest for a greater purpose. I fear that you know as well as I do that I will not simply hand such a treasure over. We must [fight], but I, like you, will not fight alone.'
You say, 'Time to fight!'
Lord Kyle Bayle clasps his mighty blade with both hands and smiles, 'Very well, _____.'
Weight of Rot
While the event is active, everyone in the zone is affected with "Weight of Rot".
This effect is not removable. It reduces duration of detrimental spells (including root, mez, and charm), reduces melee haste, blocks critical spell damage, blocks endurance regeneration, and inhibits mana preservation effects.
You will need to manage mana and endurance very carefully in this event, or you'll run out before it's over with no way to recover.
Lord Kyle Bayle: 100% to 75%
Lord Kyle Bayle hits for a max ~18,500 (no rampage; no flurry); is slightly slowable; and is immune to all forms of crowd control. Every 65 seconds, he does this emote:
Lord Kyle Bayle raises his ancient claymore high overhead.
This is an 8-second warning to the AE "Claymore Crush", a 60-second significant melee DPS debuff (no counters). Back outside of melee range to avoid it. You'll see this emote once it's cast:
Lord Kyle Bayle swings his ancient claymore with frightening force!
Note that this spell affects all targets (including pets) in melee range except for the current tank.
During this phase, Lord Kyle Bayle spawns health-based adds at 90% (two adds), 85% (one add), 80% (one add), and 75% (one add). Adds are called "a royal _____" (where the blank is one of four types). All of these adds hit for a max ~15,500; and are mezzable, rootable, snareable, and charmable. They spawn at what appear to be random locations in the room.
Lord Kyle Bayle shouts 'As I said before, I do not plan to win this fight alone. Guards!'
The air grows colder as the presence of undead begin making themselves known.

Once Lord Kyle Bayle reaches 75% health, he despawns, and Arch Mage Harron appears.
Lord Kyle Bayle shouts 'You fight well, but I am not surprised that it has come to this. Harron, your presence is required!'
The spectre of Lord Bayle vanishes as one of his closest advisors materializes.

He spawns health-based adds at 90%, 70%, 50%, 30%, and 10% (one add at each health point). He ALSO spawns an add every 90 seconds. Adds can be either "a convoker" or "a beguiler", which are rootable and snareable, but immune to mez and charm.

Lord Kyle Bayle shouts, 'It does surprise me that my strongest advisors fell to your forces faster than that fool Kanteer. It appears that relying on others to fight my battles may have been a mistake.'
The spectre of Lord Bayle rematerializes in the hall.
Lord Kyle Bayle: To the Death
Lord Kyle Bayle continues doing his emote-based "Claymore Crush" ability. He spawns eight health-based adds: One at each of 70%, 65%, 60%, 55% (these four are "a royal _____", the same type as in the first phase), and 50%, 40%, 30%, and 20% (these are "a fallen _____" - one of five possible types).
At 50% health, you see this, signaling the first "fallen" spawn:
Lord Kyle Bayle grasps his ancient claymore tightly in both hands and shouts, 'Spirits of this dead land! Relinquish the souls of my soldiers and give me the strength to finish this battle!'
