The NPC dialogue for this quest:
Spoiler
Scalecommander Azurathel says: We were trained to defend dragons, not to fight them. This feels... wrong.
Scalecommander Cindrethresh says: Lapisagos has left us no choice, Zury. He means to destroy us.
Scalecommander Cindrethresh says: So today, we fight or each other. For all dracthyr!
Scalecommander Azurathel says: Well said, my friend.
The player runs up the stairs with the other dracthyr to confront Lapisagos.
Lapisagos yells: You dare defy the will of Malygos?
Lapisagos yells: Beg for the mercy of your arcane prisons!
The dracthyr finally defeat Lapisagos, only to realize that the ceiling is about to collapse on them.
Lapisagos says: You are... out of... time...
Scalecommander Azurathel yells: Go! The creche is collapsing!
The group runs out and finds that their old weyrn grounds are in a state of disarray.
Kodethi says: Our training grounds are completely overgrown! We must have been in stasis for a very, very long time.
Scalecommander Cindrethresh says: Cut the chatter, Kodethi! Hostiles could be lurking. Evoker, time to get those skills sharpened!

This appears to be bugged for me whenever I get Lapisagos to low health, it resets and I'm never getting it slain

What to do
Description
That blue dragon will collapse the creche and trap us inside! He claims to serve Malygos. That name is familiar, but... why would any dragon want to keep us prisoner? Listen, {name}. We were trained to fight beside the dragons, not against them. But we have been left with no choice. Time to do what must be done, evoker.
