Dialogue[]

Gentle Gardener

At the start of the quest:

"Pilgrim, be careful down here. My brethren are not themselves. Perhaps you should return to our camp? It's much safer there."

I'm not a pilgrim, just a traveler. "Thank the Green, always nice to speak to someone with their eyes open. Sorry to impose but … since you're not here to worship, would you be willing to work?"
What do you need? "I'm down here gathering root, earth, and water samples from the caves. We maintain them very carefully. Normally, anyway. Since the Arbordawn Cult began their mad rituals, it's been dangerous to come down here."
I'll get the samples for you. "Thank you for your service. By the time you're done gathering those samples, I'll be back up in the camp. Look for me there."
You seemed pleased I wasn't a pilgrim. "Oh, you know how it is. A revered site, with a group of mystics and fanatics caring for a bunch of roots? We get some pretty strange types here. They're fervent, Green bless 'em. But strange."
You're not a member of the faith, then? "Just the opposite! I care about the city. It's my sincere hope I live to see Falinesti return, one day. I just don't have a problem with bathing myself or wearing comfortable clothing."
You're gardeners? You take care of roots? "And we do so with songs in our hearts. One day Falinesti will return, and we'll be rewarded for our stewardship. It's a quiet life, normally. But we like it."
How do you maintain the roots? "Through communion with the spirit of the site. We tree-stewards have a few tricks up our sleeves. Get those samples for me, and I'll show you."
Can you tell me anything about the Arbordawn Cult? "Madfolk, every one of them. They think … I don't know what they think. They're sure they can force Falinesti back here somehow. Indring, the leader of the cult? He's maddest of all."
You know him? "We've been friends for years. He's half-crazed, babbling about the tunnels …. I just hope they can be saved."

After collecting the samples:

"Did it go well? Do you have the samples?"

Yes. Here they are. "Thank you, traveler. The Falinesti will remember your stewardship. As a reward, I offer you the chance to see a ritual few outsiders have ever seen."

Conversations[]

After completing "Gentle Gardener":

Ongalion: "Root, earth, water, grow. Spirit of the Green, sprout and show. And we wait." Nature Spirit: "Who disturbs me?" Ongalion: "Excellent. Go ahead, my new friend. Speak to it."
