Personal Story: The Hatchery (Blocking Progress)

I’ve tried to finish the quest The Hatchery for three times now. Every attempt follows the same pattern; I follow the objectives as they pop up, up until I’ve rescued three skritt treasure hunters, then nothing happens. The game gives me no indication what the next goal is and the quest just shows four finished objectives. I’ve walked through the whole instance and slained every mob, they just keep respawning endlessly.

Now, I’ve taken the liberty to check what is supposed to happen in this quest. After saving the skitts, I believe im supposed to lead them to somewhere, where I would face Destroyer Harpies. First time I tried this quest I had some of the skitts following me, but I believe not every one I saved. Still with the skitts following me, no matter what I did or where I led them, the quest didn’t do any progress. Im in the instance as Im writing this, doing my third try and not a single skitt is following me at this try.

Now, am I just beign silly and missing something, or am I unable to finish this quest for whatever reason?

Can you try rescuing the skritt in a seperate order? I suspect that rescuing the skritt in a different order than expected (the 2 downed skritt, then the one at the back of the cave) might be causing an issue.

EDIT: It might also be an issue with the last skritt being in combat or otherwise interrupted when he’s trying to play a scene, which then kicks off the final objective.
