About that Lone Cottage you investigated, Daeva....

A runaway Lepharist is a good thing in my opinion--anything to derease their numbers.

But you know what people will think if they know one Lepharist is nearby?

• "A whole camp is there?"

Exactly!

Seems like this Freki trusts you. Go talk to him and convince him to leave the area.

I don't care where he goes as long as it's far away from the fortress.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Thanks. I know one runaway Lepharist doesn't sound like much, but as long as he's there, these rumours won't die down.

Check out the cottage and see if he's is still there. Since you discovered his hiding spot, maybe he's already gone.

Otherwise, I'm counting on you to convince him to go away. Then we can put these rumours to rest.

• "Consider it done."

If Freki stays in the Lone Cottage, the rumours about Lepharists will grow. Go to Freki and persuade him to leave.

Whew! You're the Daeva I met before.

I was afraid the Lepharists sent someone to catch me.

What brings you back here?

• "The Archon in Beluslan wants you to leave."

Oh no! They know about me in the fortress?

It won't take long for that news to reach the Lepharists, then I'll be in real danger.

But...where can I go?

Gnalin said the rumours spreading through the fortress will grow out of control as long as Freki stays in the Lone Cottage.

He asked you to persuade Freki to leave the house.

Freki said he would be in trouble if the Lepharists knew he was hiding in the house.
