It did get bugged and abandoning did fix it. Thanks.
Very buggy quest. Some enemies spawn twice, some are unattackable, and sometimes Mograine just stand there saying "we must hurry!" but doesn't advance to the next stage. Had to drop and re-take the quest three times until it finally worked "as intended" (though, based on my sample, it's 75% "intended" to lock up).

That sound! It came from the direction of the obelisk at Provis Flora. Impossible. We've let no one through. Hurry, {name}. Follow me!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Together, We Ride
The four covenants are working together here along with the automa. Unfortunately, some of our soldiers have been separated or wounded and are unable to return back here. If you could aid them, that would help tremendously.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reinforcements May Be Necessary
The dreadlords infiltrated deep into our ranks. Bolvar must know what has happened. I cannot leave my position here. Quickly, give him the news. Perhaps the Enlightened council will have advice as well.
