It's been a while since I've been home.
Something isn't right. My people should be here.
I'm going in... but I won't turn down some back up.
... I never should've left for so long.

The NPC dialogue that goes along with this quest:
Spoiler
As the player and Vanessa approach Moonbrook, she begins to reminisce about the town.
Vanessa VanCleef says: Ah, the smell of straw and cow dung... this place brings back a lot of memories.
Vanessa VanCleef says: It's probably been a while for you too, huh? But then again, have you ever seen this place through the eyes of a Defias?
As the player and Vanessa enter the old Defias Hideout, she looks back on the path she took as a leader.
Vanessa VanCleef says: When my father led the Brotherhood, he followed a path of banditry and vengeance. I lead them in order to overthrow a corrupt government that abandoned us.
Vanessa VanCleef says: At least, I thought I did. But I followed the same path. I let the people of Westfall down.
She continues explaining as they arrive at the old wooden staircase and begin descending into the Deadmines.
Vanessa VanCleef says: During the Legion invasion, we fought for something greater. The old king died, and it became hard to carry on old grudges.
Vanessa VanCleef says: Anduin offered pardons and reparations for former Stonemasons and their families. I lost almost all of my best people that day.
They continue deeper into the mines, swiftly cutting down any [npc=198925]s that they find.
Vanessa VanCleef says: The ones that remained in the Defias were the rowdy ones. The angry ones. The ones that enjoyed robbing anything in sight.
Vanessa VanCleef says: I'm also angry. I'll never forget my father's death. But in my own attempt at revolution, I hurt the people of Westfall. Like Stormwind did. Like Onyxia did.
Suddenly, members of the Defias can be seen up ahead, crowding around [npc=198926] and [npc=200317].
[npc=200317] yells: No reparation is enough! The Stonemasons deserve every coin in every coffer of Stormwind city! Clessington will lead us there!
Vanessa VanCleef says: Duncon? You weren't even a Stonemason! You joined to be a thief!
Duncon Ratsbon says: So you finally show yourself, VanCleef. And with a Stormwind dog in tow! See, Defias? See how she will make us all lapdogs of Stormwind?
Count Clessington yells: We muster in Northshire! Join us, and we march on Stormwind! For the Defias!
Count Clessington can be seen holding a familiar-looking necklace aloft, showing it to the crowd.
Vanessa VanCleef says: The amulet!
As Count Clessington opens a portal to Northshire, the Defias can be seen running towards it with fervor and shouts of "For the Defias!"

As a side note, if you turn the wrong way while in the mines, Vanessa will say:
Ugh, I think we took a wrong turn. I've always hated what a maze this place is.

Don't despair, there's a map of the underground these days.
If you do just wander it (I did), Vanessa makes some quip about this place is such a maze and she hated it. Me, I'm just some warrior who never went out this direction, but I like her already.

Moonbrook? What is this Count Clessington doing at my home?! It can't be anything good. I'll signal Shaw. <Vanessa glances at Cecilia Clessington.> She might make for a good hostage. Let's bring the rich girl, too. Meet us there.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
These "attendants" of my father's attacked us the moment we arrived! These are certainly not the kindly servants I had as a child. These are hired killers! If my father is planning what I think he's planning... we can't let them do this. They will kill everyone in their way.
