I just found when completing this quest on my druid that you can free the first 3 Temple Defenders while in flight form, in the air, but if you open the 4th cage WHILE IN THE AIR it doesn't register completion and all cages become un-interactable.

Dropping and re-accepting the quest makes the cages become interactable again.

If you're in flight form and landed on the ground, the 4th cage registers and you can complete the quest.

This bug only occurs if you're "in flight" and opening the 4th cage. Hope this helps someone!

Description

The Faithless incursion is just up ahead. We tried to get ahead of the siege by attacking their camp in the dead of night, but they knew we were coming. Our troops were quickly overwhelmed. We called for a retreat, but only a few of us made it out. The fate of those that didn't is unknown... We don't have the numbers to attempt a rescue ourselves. We can't afford to lose any more fighters. You're their only hope.
