I had the same problem but I kept the quest figuring I could complete it with a guildy when they came through the zone to try that. However, today I randomly found the appropriate mobs swimming in the water off the most southeast corner of the island with the tower on it SE of the keep. I'm almost positive I checked there previously and I've had a ticket open for 3 days waiting for a response. I'm not sure if they added the swimming mobs to adress the issue or if I just missed them before. Regardless, I was 7/10 on the mobs before hand, killed three of them, and then turned in the quest to Fawkes at his post phase location (pathing around the center fountain). I hope this helps and works out for others.

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.

    Right then, just hop in the seaplane behind me and I'll fly yeh to the Highlands. We're to report to a feller named "Lieutenant Fawkes." I've promised the King we'd get there lickety-fast, so I took the liberty of ditchin' any excess weight. Like seatbelts. Parachutes. Maps. Stabilizers.
