The NPC dialogue that goes along with this quest:
[npc=198922] says: I may not be of much help, but I still wish to accompany you to Northshire and stop my father.
The group is preparing to leave when they hear a voice call out from behind them.
Defias Rebel says: Wait!
[npc=198923] turns to see the remaining group of loyal [npc=200329]s.
[npc=200366] says: Vanessa, we're with you. We didn't join the Defias to steal from innocents.
[npc=200330] says: If the Brotherhood wants to follow Duncon down the path of banditry for banditry's sake... we don't want any part of it.
Vanessa VanCleef says: We've always walked a fine line. Thank you all. Go home to your families--this isn't your fight anymore.
Vanessa VanCleef says: We will never let Stormwind abandon and abuse Westfall again. But this is not the way to do it.
Defias Rebel says: Thank you, Hope.
Vanessa VanCleef says: It's been a long time since I've gone by that name.
The group arrives in Northshire, only to find that many people have already been injured and [npc=198990] is fighting off more of [npc=199997]s.
Marshal McBride says: Is that VanCleef? Guards!
Master Mathias Shaw says: Hold, Marshal. She's on our side, for now.

Description
Vanessa's care for her people deserves better than a brotherhood of bandits. I am glad to see them part ways. And as spymaster, I'm in no small part relieved. Now, Northshire. Peasants can become heroes, there. Perhaps your own journey began in that abbey? It's also a strong, defensible position to attack Stormwind from. We cannot let it fall! Hurry, to Northshire!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Betrayal of the Brotherhood
I should have known. I lost control of the Brotherhood the moment those pardons were offered. Anyone with principle is long gone. It's only the brutes left, now. And Duncon Ratsbon was always the biggest brute of them all. Let's get out of here, <name>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- What's Their Problem?
Good to see you again, recruit. Wish it were in better circumstances. Whatever this "influence" is, anybody with half a grudge now thinks it's worth spilling blood over! Not to mention all the Defias bandits! And the hired thugs!
