Basically, I need to kill a bunch of drowners who try to attack some cargo, and then something else is supposed to happen, something about another group arriving.

The problem is, that second trigger never happened for me. I killed all four or five drowners, and then nothing else. No quest progression. And the drowners don't seem to respawn either. I've arrived at both dusk and at midnight, to no avail. The quest tracker never updated and the quest marker still tells me to park my butt at the cargo and fight the drowners.

Is there anything I can do to fix it, like a console command to reset quest progress or something? I *really* don't want to lose hours of progress over a glitch...

EDIT: And of course, as soon as I posted this, I found a way to fix the problem, haha! Using the campfire directly behind the quest giver's hut (I think the time I meditated to was 2 hrs past dusk) caused the game to suddenly fade to black like a cutscene was about to begin, play a line of dialogue, then realize things weren't right and reset the quest triggers so the drowners respawned over the cargo and everything played out fine this time! Just in case someone else had the same problem.
