They will appear about three (3) at a time.
Be wary not to use AoE or accidentally attack Paul and/or A Woodcutter (you are to help them, not aggro them)!
Mezz, mem blur works, so have a capable group that includes an enchanter… just in case you aggro the wrong MOB’s.
In about the third wave of attackers, one will be A Kirathas Captain (Level 82). He is the primary MOB you need to kill.

Simply going in the building is sufficient for the update (so long as Fendel is still with you). If not, hail Amber, but be prepared to be attacked.
It is not necessary to kill any NPC's or MOB's… but you may well have to defend yourself or flee.
This will complete the task, "Save the Child."
You can now claim your Lantern O' Wisps.
