Walkthrough
Just after triggering the floating dialogues, run towards the closest door to the Bone Palace's outer courtyard (not the outpost door). The Awakened will spawn there, wave after wave, very close to each other, allowing the party to surround them, body block them, and kill them quickly with the Junundu skills that deal AoE damage and knock downs. Every wave will have more Awakened than the previous one, but that shouldn't be a problem. The spawns from this single spot are enough to fill the Kill-O-Meter.

Once the Kill-O-Meter is filled, there is no need to kill the other spawned Awakened.

Initial dialogue
''Greetings, flesh bearer, I am glad to see you! Much progress has been made towards releasing our most glorious king on the unsuspecting world. What a pleasant surprise this will be for them! I've been devising a plan that will not only aid in our king's release to the mortal realm, it will also shape the political climate in preparation for his return.''
 * Emissary of King Thorn of Kryta

''When our king was among the living, there was an up-and-coming king in Elona who had delusions of grandeur and far too little respect for our undead liege. The two of them had many squabbles over the years, some nearly turning into full-scale wars. My lord often mentioned that one of his greatest regrets in life was not decorating his throne room with the entrails of that disrespectful swine, Palawa Joko.''

''While I would never ask you to deprive our king of the opportunity to face that hack in combat, undead man to undead man, that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with Joko in the meantime! Not only that, but I believe we could also use this as an opportunity to assist our imprisoned king escape his forsaken realm.''

''According to the greatest scholars in the Lunatic Court, even Grenth can get overwhelmed at times. For us, the logistics of killing hordes of unruly villagers was a big enough headache. I can only imagine the organizational nightmare it must have been for Grenth to categorize all of those souls once they arrived in the Underworld! If you were to go and deliver some truly incendiary words, I'm certain it would rekindle the conflict between King Thorn and Palawa Joko. Depending on your tongue, I'd be willing to bet that the rotting pushover would send wave after wave of his enslaved undead army to engage you in battle. Release enough of their souls, and it should keep Grenth buried in paperwork, unable to notice our king's return to the mortal realm! Our logic is infallible!''
