This quest is NOT completed by killing naga. Instead, when Nazgrim says "We are... beaten. Escape if you can..." - abort fighting and swim up. There will be an untargetable naga who takes you to a new area, which completes the quest.

It is possible to go into a very long loop of wave after wave of naga with no effect. The quest can only end when you are abducted.
