I have a request.

This may already be common knowledge, but the creatures that attacked you on this world are in fact what remains of our original host species. I thought they were all dead - we all did. Thanks to the efforts of some of you, we now know there are some still alive, and that they were cruelly experimented on and damaged by the Null.

I cannot allow them to continue as they are, in pain and lashing out around them. I ask that you capture them, as humanely and gently as possible, and bring them to my temple. I have created a place for them to live below it, and I will be able to heal them there. Once they're in my proximity, they should no longer be violent.

We will be leaving this world soon. I must save as many of them as I can. Though they attacked you, they're blameless in all of this, and they have always been a non-violent species. They attacked out of fear and pain.

I know that you will not wish to help me for no reason, so for each of the hosts you are able to bring me, I will grant you either a blessing or a gift of another kind, if it's within my power.

Thank you.

We have lost hope and Winter is upon us. The Dead travel South, adding to their number as they go. If we fight them, we must be stronger than ever.

That sounds like a terrible situation. Do your people have defenses against the dead?

[stonebird]

Some. The Dead are susceptible to fire and we have a pair of dragons to help.

[lingeringhope]

With your strength and determination, I am sure you will find a way.

[stonebird]

...or we will die trying.

It is always better to hope for a good outcome.
