Original written by Aribeth the Ranger:-

A timer will appear showing "Time remaining to escape:" giving you 3 minutes. The easiest way to complete this quest is to click on Vekk, Ogden Stonehealer or Borvorel. Your character will follow them trying to catch up as they run their way to the Asura Gate. A lot of Destroyers will spawn behind your party and chase after. They can be ignored. As you approach the gate, just be alert of when the NPCs start entering the gate, because your character will stop moving when the NPC you were following enters the gate.
