Actually, now that you've set the exit strategy, you're prepared for the actual Ayos rescue.

Me? I picked up an arrow through the tripes on my last mission. Nasty business. I need to stay here, bored. Nothing to do but polish my glossy spear.

Would you go to Menin Village again and escort him home?

Player: Accept.

He... help. Help?!

Help! Balaur dragged me h-here.

I'm m-more than ready to go h-home.

Player: "And I'm ready to take you there."

So that's how it is. Freedom in sight, but forever unavailable. Poor Ayos.

I'm sure that he'd thank you if he were coherent. I'll do so in his stead.
