Note that you do NOT need to go visit Mavuin before doing each trial. He's only needed to acquire the PoP progression flag for doing ONE trial. So you can avoid that long run back and forth to his cell, and the trash clearance required, if you want to tackle additional trials.
So technically he's not really associated with all six trials in any sense of "required."
I was down in DR in PoJ the other day and I wanted to go in and talk to Mavuin but someone in the group I was in said that a massive DoT lands when you hail him. Is this true?
This is true. I got the same dot from the 'basement' camp. I was clearing it out because I was bored, and all of a sudden I had this dot. I gated-out thinking that maybe somthing was attacking me through the walls or somthing.
A while back a few of us were xp'ing down there, we cleared the place and decided to hail Mavuin to start the quest. As soon as I clicked on the door (which did not open) the group was hit with a dot for I don't know how much, but enough to take off a good chunk of health per tick. No one knew about that and I have not found any information about precisely what one does to get through the door, without getting dotted, to hail Mavuin. Actually I haven't seen anyone else mention the dot at all. Some kind of in-joke? Not funny to get dotted like that when the nasties are due to repop in a few minutes. Anyone have a clue? Cuz I sure need one.
Went back a few days ago to finally finish this flag, cleared room, clicked door, hailed Mavuin and left. No dot whatsoever. I must have been hit by something else, the first time, or it was leftovers from one of the fights. Everyone in my group was dotted the first time, and we all noticed it right after clicking the door, that's why I assumed it was a trap or something. Anyway, took me long enough just to get around to completing a trial, done now :)
Yes, it's a poison dot, unresistable that does around 500 hp/tick for 20 ticks. I learned the hard way. JK. there is no dot that lands on your the person who told you that was a flap.
As opposed to taking the left wing to get to the trial area, you will take the right wing down to the basement area. There are plenty of KOS mobs down there past the high justices area.
You will either need to bring a nice group to fight thru, or either try to paci/harmony your way thru. You must do this twice, once for preflag, once after passing the trial.
Hail mavuin - flagged Complete trial of execution - loot mark of execution Hail Tribunal - "I have evidence from Mavuin" - flagged Hail mavuin - flagged - access to Valor and I think Storm. Mavuin is behind a door at the end of the chamber with 9 or 11 doors down with Punishers and Enforcers.
Hail mavuin - ask "What information" - flagged Complete trial of execution - loot mark of execution Hail Tribunal - "I have evidence from Mavuin" - flagged Hail mavuin - flagged - access to Valor and I think Storm.

addendum with the new level restriced planes: the final Hail Mavuin will add +1 stats to your charm. Go to PoK, Hail Gram Dunnar - "tell stories" - get 1 free AA
If you hail him, he says that the Tribunal put him in prison for eternity for a crime he did not commit. He gives you the evidence that says he didn't do it and tells you to give it to the Tribunal. Only, you must make it to them first. Once with the Tribunal, they'll give you a choice of 6 trials. Each trial is diffrent than the other (Fire, Torture, Hanging,etc.). If you defeat the boss mob for the trials, then the Tribunal tell you thatthey have consented to hear his case. Report back to him and he gives you a flag to enter PoV & PoS.
Phew, there's at leas tone normal person in this zone :) was lookin at the other mobs and was kinda being reminded of the game Fallout, hehe well, at least there aren't any 3-headed exploding cows...yet :)
