After one of the Grasp asks you to search for some fleeing criminals in the Deadlands, you can come across a frightened Elisa.

As you approach she will exclaim:
:Elisa Velain: ''"I don't want to die in this place."

Speak with Elisa:
:"Stay back! Please, don't come any closer. I don't have the strength to fight you, or any money to give you, but please! I beg you to look the other way. Let me go."
:Bakh sent me to find you.
:"You saw Bakh? Is he safe? He must be, if he told you to come find me. I'm not sure why you're helping us, but I don't care. Thank you, stranger. What about Minwileth? Please tell me this wasteland hasn't taken her."


Elisa runs toward the portal.

Once you've found both Elisa and Minwileth, you can go to the area near the portal and find Bakh and Elisa:
:Bakh: ''"I'm sorry, Elisa. I should have been more careful."
:Elisa Velain: "Don't. This is my fault. If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't be in this mess."

You can then speak with Elisa, after learning their story you have the choice of how to help her or not:
:"This is all my fault. Why did I have to be so weak? Why did I have to be the one to get the Drain? There's no point in running. It's all … futile. I can feel myself slipping away. Maybe I should just accept it."
:What do you mean?
:"This damn sickness, it's different for everyone. Some people get by for years with just headaches. For others, it takes them in a few days. I keep forgetting things. Sometimes I wake up and I don't even know my own name. It's getting worse."
:Is there any way to stop it?
:"The Redmaiden we stole … it would have given me time, at least. Bakh insisted we had to get our hands on some when we found out I was sick, but we didn't think we'd get caught. Minwileth had it when we came here. Gods know where it is now."
:Why didn't you take it immediately if you're so sick?
:"There wasn't time while we were in Fargrave, everything happened so fast. We agreed Minwileth would hold it and as soon as we were safe, we'd meet up again and I'd take it then. But nothing worked out like we planned."

At this point you have three choices:
: 
::"What, really? I don't know what to say. I could kiss you, or cry, or scream … but I'll save us both the trouble and just say thank you. You've given me a fighting chance. All of this won't have been in vain. Thank you, friend."
: 
::"You found it? Then … no, I suppose I won't be able to change your mind. I don't deserve it anyway. It's my fault we got into this mess. I should be suffering. It's only fair."
: 
::"The Redmaiden we stole … it would have given me time, at least. Bakh insisted we had to get our hands on some when we found out I was sick, but we didn't think we'd get caught. Minwileth had it when we came here. Gods know where it is now."

After you make a choice, you will need to speak with Bakh:
:"You should speak with Bakh. If you're going to decide what to do with us once you talk to him, please just make it quick."

If you chose to let them go:
:Bakh: "Bakh, are you sure? What if I get worse?"
:Elisa Velain: "We'll be able to find a way to get you more Redmaiden if we're free. Come on. Thank you, friend!"''
: 

If you convince them to turn themselves in, you'll hear:
:Elisa Velain: "Are you sure about this, Bakh? Are we really going to turn ourselves over to the Grasp?"
:Bakh: ''"The only thing I'm sure of is that if we stay, we'll end up like Minwileth. Come on, let's go."
: 

You can then find the pair in Fargrave when you return to speak with the guard:
:"The Grasp may keep me and Bakh in chains, but what you did for me … it means I have time. It's the most precious gift of all. With it, maybe Bakh and I can figure out some other way to stop the Drain, even while serving our time. So, thank you."

Hope Springs Eternal
If you helped Elisa before completing Hope Springs Eternal, then she and Bakh will appear at Leyawiin Castle for the celebrations:


Dialogue
If you let Bakh and Elisa escape, you will later find them crouched around a campfire in Wretched Spire. Her reaction to you will depend on what choice you made regarding the Redmaiden:
