Hansel Heavyhands is at the bottom of the cave for the quest turn-in, not outside the cave entrance. The map is confusing.

These beasts came at us so fast we didn't have time to mount a proper defense. They went right for the metal and chewed through any wall we had. If we don't kill some of them soon they'll bring the whole fortress down on us.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Heavy Helping Hand
Burrian gave us the coordinates of the Dark Iron base. They named it Moira's Reach. But half way through buildin' it the base got infested with goren. If you head south you should come to the structure. Just look for a big ol' cannon. We will follow as soon as we get this bloody tank untangled.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Just In Case
When we set up shop the first thing we built was the cannon. Seemed like a good place fer it. We started buildin' the base up around it when them chompin' acid spittin' varmints came crawlin' out of the ground. The upside though is the cannon is built, just not loaded.
