TheWoWDBThis quest is not working as intended but is still doable. search the area for eggs that spawn on dead bodies as killing mobs with eggs doesn't work and the regular eggs in nests can't be picked up. The eggs just seem to spawn on random dead bodies, you don't need to keep guiding them in to fire or anything. so just keep flying around and they'll spawn.

This quest can be done without getting off your mount. I found it easiest to fly around the area they run back to and pick up the eggs on the ground and then just fly away.
i found these eggs on dead bodies near the cave, where the npc dragons throw down fire

Description
Look... I know you have no reason to be fond of me, just as I'm not terribly fond of you, but I need any help I can get. Our eggs are being stolen by these Twilight invaders. I have no doubt that they want to take them back to Grim Batol to experiment on and pervert. I will NOT let that happen. If you truly do want to help us, stop them! Recover the eggs. Bring them back to me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Encroaching Twilight
Fragile Twilight invaders litter the redoubt. They're pouring in from somewhere to the west. There can be no mercy offered to them within this hallowed place. Whatever violence grips your moral heart, release it upon them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Breach in the Defenses
Every inch of air and every hill surrounding the redoubt is constantly under the watchful eye of Lira's drakes. They must have found a way into the shrine from beneath. Take this Flashgrowth mote.
