Wrenric 	Psst! Do you have a moment?
Wrenric 	Please keep this to yourself, but one of my men has been acting strangely of late.
Wrenric 	As I am sure you can appreciate, there are certain things that the guards here, myself included, may not wish to discuss openly. I had hoped that you, as an outsider, may be able to find out what is troubling him.
Wrenric 	He is currently stationed a short distance south from here. If you could lend him your ear, I would be most grateful.
 	
Wrenric 	I will not pretend that our life here is a happy one. We must grasp what scant joy we can.
 	
Guarda03369 	What brings you all the way out here?
Guarda03369 	So, you've been talking to Wrenric. Well, if you must know, I was thinking about leaving this place.
Guarda03369 	It was all getting too much for me, and I felt like I was losing my mind one day at a time. Me and one of the others were planning on making a clean break, putting the Inn behind us.
Guarda03369 	But after seeing you and Alisaie, I changed my mind. I'm staying here, at least for the time being.
Guarda03369 	Could you give a message to my friend? He's the one I was going to run away with, a Galdjent chap. I'm not sure exactly where he'll be, but the watchman southeast of the Inn should know.
Guarda03369 	Tell him that I'm staying. I'd go myself, but I can't abandon my post. Please, I've got to let him know.
 	
Guarda03369 	I can't stand the thought of leaving him there to wait for me. At least if he knows I'm not going, he can make up his own mind about whether to stay or go.
 	
Guardb03369 	Galdjent bloke on patrol? You've just missed him, I'm afraid.
Guardb03369 	Said he wanted a breath of fresh air, so he went for a stroll. I tried tellin' him the air's no fresher up there than it is here, but would he listen? Would he bollocks! Anyway, last I saw, he was headin' north.
 	
Guardb03369 	Any luck? Knowin' him, he probably went and strolled right over the side of a cliff or summink.
 	
Guardc03369 	I remember you... One of Alisaie's friends...
Guardc03369 	Staying? I thought so... That's why I left...by myself. Reckoned I'd get a bit further...before being attacked by...beasts, though. Just my...bloody luck.
Guardc03369 	Can you tell him...I went alone, that I got away? Wouldn't want him to...blame himself.
Guardc03369 	It's my own fault...he was set on staying...but I talked him into...leaving. I should've listened...
 	
Guarda03369 	So, did you give him the message?
 	
Guarda03369 	Well, I'm glad he didn't stay on my account. I wouldn't want to hold him back from finding a new life elsewhere.
 	
Guarda03369 	When you say it like that, it sounds almost as if─ Oh... I see.
 	
Guarda03369 	Still, I stand by my decision. It is the right thing to do, I know it.
Guarda03369 	Come to think of it, Wrenric is probably wondering what's going on. If it's not too much to ask, would you mind speaking with him?
 	
Wrenric 	Is that so? Hmm... It is better than both of them being killed. We should be thankful for small mercies. In any case, I appreciate what you have done for us.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
