sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/hail/i)
{
quest::say("Welcome warrior,youve bested the guards now i suppose you have [come for me]?");
}

if($text=~/come For me/i)
{
quest::say("Prepare for death foolish mortal!!!");
quest::attack($name);
quest::setnexthpevent(90);
}
}


sub EVENT_HP

You would need to write it:

Code:
sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/hail/i)  {
quest::say("Welcome warrior,youve bested the guards now i suppose you have [come for me]?");
}

if($text=~/come For me/i) {
quest::say("Prepare for death foolish mortal!!!");
quest::attack($name);
quest::setnexthpevent(90);
}
}


sub EVENT_HP  { 
if($hpevent <= 90)  {
quest::shout("Keldovan!!");
quest::spawn2(317005,0,0,$x+20,$y+20,$z,$h);
quest::setnexthpevent(85);}
} 

if($hpevent <= 85)  {
quest::shout("Hanvar!!!");
quest::spawn2(317004,0,0,$x+20,$y+20,$z,$h);
quest::setnexthpevent(50);
} 
}
For this, you'll want to be sure to do add an action in this same format for hp events at 50 since you call for it in the script.

However, I would recommend this way to ensure the npcs attack correctly:

Code:
sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/hail/i)  {
quest::say("Welcome warrior,youve bested the guards now i suppose you have [come for me]?");
}

if($text=~/come For me/i) {
quest::say("Prepare for death foolish mortal!!!");
quest::attack($name);
quest::setnexthpevent(90);
}
}


sub EVENT_HP  { 
if($hpevent <= 90)  {
quest::shout("Keldovan!!");
$entid1 = quest::spawn2(317005,0,0,$x+20,$y+20,$z,$h);
$mob1 = $entity_list->GetMobID($entid1);
$mobnpc1 = $mob1->CastToNPC();
$mobnpc1->AddToHateList($npc->GetHateTop(),1);
quest::setnexthpevent(85);}
} 

if($hpevent <= 85)  {
quest::shout("Hanvar!!!");
$entid2 = quest::spawn2(317004,0,0,$x+20,$y+20,$z,$h);
$mob2 = $entity_list->GetMobID($entid2);
$mobnpc2 = $mob2->CastToNPC();
$mobnpc2->AddToHateList($npc->GetHateTop(),1);
quest::setnexthpevent(50);
} 
}
This would ensure thep erson with the most hate gets the adds when they spawn. Nothing worse than the add picking off the group's cleric.

Well, there are several ways to address this. One would be simply to switch the spawn limit to 1 of each of those npc types. That way only one npc would be up at a time. In my opinion, this would not be the most optimal choice, because the event will still go off and the npc will still shout. Just only one npc.

My recommendation for now would be to use == instead of >=. And adding this to the npc:

Code:
sub EVENT_AGGRO {
	quest::stoptimer(1);
	}

sub EVENT_SLAY {
	quest::settimer(1,10);
	}

sub EVENT_TIMER {
	if ($timer == 1) {
	quest::signalwith(317004,1,0000);
             quest::signalwith(317005,1,0000);
             quest::depop();
	quest::stoptimer(1);
	}
}
And this to the npcs he spawns:

Code:
sub EVENT_SIGNAL {
	if ($signal == 1) {
	quest::depop();
	}
}
This would make it so that if he kills a player, he starts a timer. If 10 second passes with no aggro, he sends a signal to the npcs to depop.

I do think I can propose a perhaps better solution, I just am not able to give a test run right this second.
