Maguuma, and here’s how it goes because I do this event every single day and when it bugs out on this one it also bugs another nearby event because they’re tied together (Rani’s Armor collection event).
So since those two events are connected, this is the series of events that follow and sometimes they happen at different times, and sometimes they happen in the correct order: (note, I don’t know what part is supposed to be tied to each…)
1. Level 15 elementals attack Vendrake’s Homestead
2. Someone kills them.
3. unknown messenger brings message to Krennak’s Homestead that Grawl attacked Vendrake’s Homestead.
4. Dialog begins for Grawl attack on Vendrake’s Homestead thus beginning the actual meta event The Frozen Maw.
5. players beat back grawl and prevent them from taking all the boxes.
6. Brogan begins his player initiated part and starts walking to the Maw killing grawl along the way.
7. He stands in front of the totem and spouts his line about destroying it and the grawl being ‘our problem’.
8a. * bug. the totem looks destroyed but it never actually spawned the totem to be destroyed in the first place.
8b. If not bugged you destroy the totem with waves of grawl and elementals that attack.
9. the Shaman comes, brogan tells you not to let him call his friends – shaman is invincible.
10. shaman guards and portals show up spawning friends the longer they all stay active and alive.
11a. You died and elementals and icebrood are all over the lake area.
11aa. 14 minutes(?) are up and the Shaman has summoned the elemental.
11b. You won and now the Shaman is now actively trying to kill you.
13a. you’ve killed the Shaman.
13b. you’ve got the Shaman down to half health but haven’t prevented him from summoning his second form (elemental) – thus making him easier to kill if you’re a caster and harder if you’re melee.
14. You win and Brogan rez’s and walks back to Vendrake’s Homestead really really slowly.
Now, because it’s tied to the Krennak’s Homestead event, it also bugs that one and doesn’t allow progression many times – sometimes it does…
1. elementals attack – starting The Frozen Maw.
2. – real start of Vendrake’s Homestead event – Hunting party at the lodge proceeds to go to the Grawl ‘cave’ to hunt some. Vendrake should not be crippled but he usually is as his cripple spell has 1 hour affect.
3. Hunting party gets there kills a few, a dozen spawn and Vendrake uses his ‘smash the ground’ knockback skill and says “There’s too many!” and cripples away to his homestead.
4. He goes and lies down, his wife tends to him, and Rani starts talking.
5. Rani leaves the lodge and starts the collection event.
6. After collecting enough (12? for one player) he runs back to the front of the lodge and sets up snowmen.
7. a dozen Grawl come from the cave, check out the ‘norn army’ and run back to tell the shaman.
8. The shaman and another grawl come from the cave, tell Rani he’ll be the last to die, and summon the ‘snowmen’ alive into elementals (level 12).
9. Kill the Grawl Shamans part of the event comes up – kill 4 grawl shaman and all elementals will de-spawn – 1 outside, 3 inside.
10. After killing them, run to the lodge and Rani and his dad are talking about him being brave or something and Rani will remark to you about your help.
All of that was based on personal observation of events and dialog at both locations.
To add to the list of bugged events on Maguuma:
The Frozen Maw.

Mead Delivery Twinspur Haven to Edenvar’s Homestead.
