Missing Fire DrakesFollow

Ok, I've been trying to complete the Torch of Alna quest and all I need is a Fire Drake Scale from a Fire Drake in Lavastorm to complete it on the Progression server (Combine server). I've been playing EQ since 2000 and a mage since then also so this quest isn't new to me. What is new is that all of the Fire Drakes seem to have disappeared from Lavastorm on the Progression Server. I've spent the last two nights looking for them and OOC'ing about them. In addition, I've been checking all of the merchants in Lavastorm for a scale and haven't seen anything. Has anyone else seen them and I just have really bad timing or are they truely gone right now?
