The Fallen Protectors: Rook, He and Sun

When setting up for The Fallen Protectors encounter, Trivial will assault the protectors from the ground just to the right of the entrance drop off. Each of the three council members will have a raid marker designating which groups are to attack each target. The Protectors have Desperate Measures that cause each of them to disappear and summon adds twice during the encounter; we trigger these abilities by dpsing down each target in this order: Rook Stonetoe (Star) > He Softfoot (Circle) > Sun Tenderheart (Triangle).
