Script
This isn't the first mission north, you know. We sent another group not too long ago.

No one likes to talk about it, but we fear the worst. Take care of yourself, [player name]. The federation can't afford to lose you, too.

Please check with Caenia to make sure all the personnel are prepared.

[player name]? I greet you. I've read of your exploits. Nice to work with a soldier like you.

Unfortunately, some of the others are as formidable as a bucket of apples. Can you round them up? I think your presence might inspire them.

(Understood.)

Stomach... cramping. Gods above, what did we eat?

Can't go back... like this...

Find... Tilda. Bring us a cure.

(Sure thing.)

Those fools! I warned them not to drink my elixirs. The concentration is too strong. They're poisoned!

(What's the cure?)

Well, my entire stock is loaded aboard the sky cruiser. I don't have any tonics.

We could use macerated herb... that is, already chewed.

Disgusting, I know, but it will save their lives.

Probably.

(Disgusting, but okay.)

Ack! What foul poultice is this? It's worse than vampir blood!

What about Actol? Hurt, er, help him, too.

(Oh, he'll get his.)

I knew Eduyar grabbed the wrong elixir. My guts feel like a dracoloth is rampaging around inside.

Gack! What is this? Are you trying to speed my return to the Dream?

(It's, uh, medicine.)

Poisoned? And you saved them by feeding them... Hah!

That'll teach them to pilfer our supplies. Nicely handled.

(Thanks.)
