After the cutscene I was right back at the feet of Jadzigeth, who was resurrected and aggroed. It would be a little more sporting (to the player) to transpo us a little ways away, or back to the questgiver or something. Not right back into the aggro zone of the mob we just killed.
To kill [npc=188447], remember to use the [spell=373203]. It’s on-screen next to the quest name and it’s in your inventory if you want to hotkey it. You can solo [npc=188447] if you’re under level 70 using the [spell=373203].
"If a head is cut off, two more shall take its place."

These proto-dragons detest us. They believe we are a twisted version of dragonkind that is manipulated and chained by the Titans. They do not understand. Which is why they feel safe even as they throw their forces at our walls. They are mistaken. Take this spear, <name>. Kill our enemies.

From what I saw, the queen fell back to the Wild Hatchery. It is an outpost to keep watch over the proto-drakes in the area... I only hope that its defenses are enough. We must head there at once!
