TheWoWDBIs there a prior quest which needs to be done to activate this one? A particular procedure? A bug? Because I tracked down High Priest Thel'danis only to find he has nothing to say to me! No "!" or anything!)

This is a a good quest and gives another sight into the new phasing in WoW. Getting to the crypt you come across no mobs. However as soon as you turn this quest in at the bottom of the crypt the mobs appear and you have to fight your way out (with the next quest) and when you get out of the crypt there are lots of them around this area. Not hard Q though.
Where is this abandoned crypt though? I'm having trouble even finding it.

StorylineWestern Plaguelands, step 11 of 63

Description
If you truly intend to move forward in this battle for Andorhal... well, perhaps I can help. To the east lies a large crypt. The bottom level of the crypt was once used for storage of weapons and armor... until the Scourge came. Now that the undead have left, the weapons are free for the taking. Most of the weapons are probably rusted and rotten by now, but they will serve better than tunics and pitchforks.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Uther's Blessing
These farmers from the south wish to take these farms, but I can't let them enter the plaguelands unprepared. Even with the Scourge gone, danger still looms in the form of the Forsaken. No, we must be ready to fight... and that includes our new visitors.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ambushed!
As you turn around, you see the silhouettes of shambling skeletons on the stairs. The undead aren't gone from this crypt. They were lying in wait! Furthermore, they appear to be armed with the weapons that you came looking for. You'll have to escape from the crypt.
