Wasn't sure if this was the spot to post it, but here is the location of Inquisitor Lashona for those doing the bounties.
New Bounties

Nice rewards for the new bounties.

Seems like it would be shorter to start from Hot Springs, thanks for the map.

Lashona is literally next to Captain Greywind in the Ascalon Settlement. Starting from Bergen would be easier.

Anyone going after Bauer get your screen cap ready. He has some weird new monster shout that I've never seen before and isn't the wiki as far as I can tell.
It was something like "There's never enough time". The description was something like "(20 seconds) All Creatures within earshot move, attack, and activate skills 100% faster".
I had a panic attack because the entire screen was moving like a Benny Hill Skit
Anyways I've tried to go back for a screenshot, but he doesn't spawn

You dont have to take the main route through all the tengu, if you go with the first passage North of LA there are only some imps and skales on the way.

Bauer is located directly north of the Gates of Kryta mission outpost.

D'Alessio seaboard seemed decent fast for me getting there. Nothing really in way except a roadblock of goons, tengu was easy avoidance in route.

But definitely liking these bounties so far. Much more challenging.
Yeah sorry about the long run from Lion's Arch that I took. It just said North Kryta Province, and I had no idea where at since there was no map or any information out yet. So I just left from Lion's Arch. :P

You need it...at least it helps. I went in with uninfused armor and it was a trip. The cloak has no spectral agony, but the bows and armors do.
FengShuiDove
Man, I forgot how friggin' resilient those things are. And how poor LA henchies are.
awry
god i hope bauer defects to our side. Considering he's based on 24, this hope isn't just imaginary. He made me lol so hard w/ the mergoyles
Tarkin
!@$# i buy a new "cool" armor for most of my chars... the !@%#ยจ$* spectral agony rip of my team... time to infuse again...
Reflect
Bergen is better choice....Tengu's are weak even in HM

They need to upgrade these henchies, for HM mostly with all these leet enemies the henchies are really just another body to take care of
Arato
I really liked the Lashona encounter
Bauer on the other hand was ridiculously hard to try and H/H. The henchmen aren't infused, not to mention proph henchmen in general being terrible. Anyway the jades would blow up Alesia in seconds and then I'm down a healer, followed by the other hench. With all the white mantle using res skills it made it very difficult. For some reason after wiping twice, and only having 15% dp (having removed it with a CC after the first wipe) it kicked me back to the outpost, rather than only doing so after everyone was at 60% DP. I thought that was rather unforgiving. Makes it pretty difficult when all the PuGs advertising to go are all looking just for monks.
Also, having to go through prophecies on a non prophecies character (after having completed Proph 4 times recently) just to get infused so I can do these bounties involving jade is ftl. ><

yeh, because ressilent Jade Armors/Bows and the new Cloaks getting buffed by Bauer and spamming high intensity hardmode damage faster than your heros can blink is a good thing
However, theres fun with Empathy and Diversion to be had.

I didn't found Bauer that hard. Killed him using Basic Sabway + Monk + Mesmer henchmen; me using a Prepared Shot build and having 2/5 pieces of infused armor on me. Only buff I used was a mysterious summoning stone and I only got wiped once, when I aggroed 2 groups.

When I respawned after biting off more than I could chew, I noticed I respawned mere steps in front of the Gates of Kryta zoning portal. Did you enter Scoundrel's through that? If so, you might've accidentally stepped inside after respawning.
The Jade cloaks were rather nasty, meeting them for the first time without any clue as to their skillbar.

@OP or anyone who knows, interesting, how come your pointer arrow on the map is purple?

The first time I wiped and respawned each time, it respawned me that few steps ahead of the portal, but no I didn't walk through. The second time I wiped both times I tried H/H'ing it, as soon as the countdown for respawn reached 0 I got a loading screen and was back in Gates of Kryta outpost.
Sharkinu
You always respawn right near the portal to Gates of Kryta, but there might be a glitch that spawn you too close because same thing happen to me once today. I was killing Bauer again, this time with some friends, we got wiped and right when the counter reached 0 we got back to gates of kryta and we were like "huh? Who walked in the portal?"
WinterSnowblind
Well, I've managed to do all the bounties so far with little trouble, but I definitely agree that the henchmen are woefully inadequate for these quests. You're almost better off not taking them at all.
Really nice to see the rewards increased a little though, some of them just weren't worth doing for the 3 reward items..

the jacked up rewards on these are nice at least. more representitive of the difficulty involved.

These 2 quests were not that hard in hm for me.
As for Bauer, i got to him via north kryta province, went up the hill, killed one group, then pulled Bauer with a bow and he went down rather easily. It certainly helps to have a rit hero with sos and shadowsong with you.

If you have trouble just kill the peacekeeper mob outside the settlement (there is a dervish boss with them). After they are dead the dialogue should be finished and you can slowly take your time killing the mobs making your way into the settlement until you can kill the ranger boss. Bauer just requires careful pulling of the mobs around him.
Gli
I can't help wondering if these new ones are 'regular' bounties, or perhaps quests advancing the WiK plot.

Instead Lashona was easy and pretty nice dialogue. I like how they're adding dialogues to bounties, so it's no more a kill-only.
The Black Mumba
I H/H'ed Bauer with spiritway and it was easy, just bring pain inverter for the Cloacks.

Ok, I managed to do Bauer, had a lucky spawn with no jades but cloaks in the first group (cloaks are not so much of a problem, normal jades are for they make you lose henchies) and I managed to kill him before wiping. 
The groups vary a lot, and so their disposition, finding an easy enough initial group and other groups far enough from Bauer's one (so to pull them) gives you the time to kill him before being killed yourself (and eventually returned to outpost), if you're not strong enough to kill them all. And luckily he is the first one to follow you when pulling, so this gives and advantage
