Any reason why you don't just have a timed event tied to the creatures on spawn that checks for their health?

That way you wouldn't have to deal with trying to find the objects at all

Then you just have a table with their status, and on your event end, you just check if the status reported by the creatures is correct

They could potentially die and their corpses despawn, depending on the server's settings. From what i understand, their events would be removed.

Their timed event, yes, but their status would then reflect in the status table as not successful still or whatever

It would also not limit you to a hard coded amount of creatures, as the status table would be expanded dynamically on spawn
