To complete the quest you need to escort the assembled forces from Calcis to Forlorn Respite.
Like during the previous quest, you just have to follow Jaina and defeat [npc=165983]s.
After reaching the cave Tariesh will abush you so you have to deal with him.

In case you want to read it altogether, here's the dialogue that occurs during this quest with significant actions in < >.

Spoiler
<Your group, consisting of Mograine, the Knights, Jaina, and Thrall, moves forward, laying low.>
Jaina: There's a cave just around the bend. With any luck, we can reach it before they notice.
Thrall: Let's hope so. Our captors won't be pleased you've managed to slip past them again.
Tariesh: You will not evade our grasp, mortals!
Jaina: Well, there goes our luck!
Mograine: (yelling) Knights, secure the cave! We'll hold off these fiends.

<A group of Ebon Blade Knights run ahead of the main group while more Mawsworn Harbingers descend on them. Once the fight is done, the main group continues on.>
Jaina: So much for remaining unnoticed. Let's hurry.
Mograine: What did Thrall mean by "slip past them again"? You've escaped before?
Jaina: Indeed. I've broken free countless times, only to end up back in a cage. I've hidden inside this cave before. We can't stay long, but it should buy us a little time.
Thrall: (yelling) Another ambush! Bring them down!

<Another fight and then we continue down the path.>
Mograine: Lord Admiral, before we found you, did you see any sign of the Night Warrior?
Jaina: Tyrande? Here? No, I have not.
Mograine: She leapt into the rift just ahead of us. She vowed to find Sylvanas Windrunner... at any cost.
Jaina: That is troubling. An ancient ritual infused her with incredible power. I fear it may be growing beyond her ability to contain it.

<The group reaches the mouth of the cave Jaina mentioned. Tariesh personally comes down to confront the group.>
Tariesh: Your cell awaits, mage! The Jailer has plans for you!
Jaina: I've had enough of your cages, fiend!
Tariesh: There is nowhere to run! Nothing escapes the Maw! These allies of yours are insignificant. You will all end up in chains!
Mograine: Not if we end you first!

<We fight with Tariesh and defeat him.>
Tariesh: (as he is dying) It is useless... to resist...

<The group enters Forlorn Respite, the cave and rough base that the Knights have set up.>
Jaina: In here! We should be safe enough here for the moment. When you first arrived, I wasn't sure if you were even real... or if you were just another illusion meant to torment us. I was beginning to lose hope that I'd see anyone from our world again.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On Blackened WingsLevel 50

    It's a relief to see friendly faces again. But we have little time for pleasantries. Thrall is wounded, and we are being hunted by the denizens of this realm. We must seek shelter at once. Come, I believe I know of a place.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Moment's RespiteLevel 50

    Anduin insisted that our allies would come for us. I confess I had begun to doubt him. I'm sure you have many questions. I'll do what I can to provide answers, but I'm afraid even after... What has it been... weeks? Longer? Time loses all meaning in a place of such darkness. Forgive me.

The storyline at a glance

Through the Shattered Sky has 23 steps, from Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons to Stand as One.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): The Maw (21), Icecrown Citadel (2).

Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
