You seem like the discreet type, Player. I have a rather...sensitive matter I'd like attending to, and it requires a long journey.

Can I trust you?

Player: "Of course."

It concerns my...one of my Legionaries. She was fighting the Balaur in Silentera, and the balfired dragons turned her to stone.

I've tried everything in my power but, well.... Let's just say that desperate times call for desperate measures.

Will you go to Brigade General Telemachus at Eltnen Fortress and ask him for his Stone of Restoration?

Player: Accept.

That little pipsqueak won't give it up readily; he keeps it as a trophy from a particularly hard-fought battle against the Balaur in the Abyss.

I'm relying on your silver tongue to persuade him.

Oh, and, er...don't mention the "pipsqueak" thing, okay?

Player: "You bet."

Player! What a pleasant surprise! I always knew you were destined for great things, but look at you!

Now, what brings you all the way back to Eltnen?

Player: "Gellius has asked me..."

I see.

Well, you can turn around and head right back to him, if that's the kind of company you keep these days.

Player: "I...uh...okay then."

Did you manage to persuade Runty to part with the Stone?

Player: "No, and I'm not really surprised."

So he wants me to grovel, eh?

If he knew why I wanted it he might change his tune, but I didn't think it was any of his business.
