I fear the restoration isn't going as smoothly as one might like.

The lingering pools of Aether in the area have seeped into the statues and imbued them with life.

Thankfully, it's only affecting the smaller statues. Can you imagine dealing with one of those colossi up there should it attack us?

Player: "I could take it."

If that's the case, I'm sure you'll have no trouble dealing with the Fragmented Ancient Caryatids and Starved Kirrines wandering around.

You came here to volunteer after all, and that's where you're most needed.

Player: Accept.

Much as it pains me to see such magnificent artworks destroyed, I must ask you to pulverize them until nothing remains.

We wouldn't want disembodied stone hands crawling into our tents at night seeking vengeance.

Player: "A chilling thought."

I saw you out there. You must have quite the grudge against statuary.

Player: "Some statues are just asking for it."

I'm glad you came along. I wouldn't have the heart to destroy all that beautiful statuary.

I suppose we must sacrifice them for the good of the restoration.
