Walkthrough
Go into Ventari's Refuge and speak with Ventari. He is an old centaur who has become a pacifist, and will offer no help in fighting the White Mantle or anything else. Return outside and fight off the three groups of Mantle that have caught up with you.

All three groups consist of 2 White Mantle Knights and 1 White Mantle Sycophant. You will also get help from 3 groups of Shining Blade, consisting of a Shining Blade Elementalist, Shining Blade Mesmer and a Shining Blade Necromancer. Once the White Mantle are defeated, return to Councilor Vaylor and claim the reward.

Initial dialogue
Councilor Vaylor
 * "I need you to speak with Ventari. He will not allow me into his refuge. It is a long story and I do not wish to discuss it now. I know that he prefers to remain neutral, but the White Mantle and their masters are a threat to all Tyrians, not just Krytans, and not just humans. This is no mere civil war. There is much more at stake here than most of us know. More than we'd believe, I imagine.


 * Ventari and his jungle-dwelling friends can help us, if they choose to do so. Speak with him, I pray you, and return to me."

Intermediate dialogue
Ventari
 * "Vaylor sent you to me no doubt. I am sorry, but I cannot involve myself in the political affairs of humans.  I hope you understand.  While we have been chatting, it seems your other friends of White have surrounded my refuge.  Nevertheless, peace is the path I walk.  I must remain neutral."


 * &rArr; I don't understand.
 * "At one time, I would have marched out there and strung them up single-handedly. The ignorance and fire of youth has passed, and I have found a different course.  I wish to live in peace, and you and your kind are not capable of anything but war.  My kin are not much better, it is true, but I have chosen a different path."


 * &rArr; Let's discuss something else.
 * &times; Goodbye.


 * &rArr; But the Mantle will kill us all!
 * "I am sorry. I do not wish you ill, but neither can I help you."


 * &rArr; Have you no heart?
 * "If it is "heart" that brings one to kill another, then no I don't. In these times, a peaceful mind does more good than a violent heart.  The smell of spring blossoms can soothe beast and man alike, so perhaps all is not lost."


 * &times; Goodbye.
 * &rArr; Let's discuss something else.


 * &times; Goodbye.


 * &times; Goodbye.

Reward dialogue
Councilor Vaylor
 * "Valiantly fought! The Shining Blade are lucky to have you on our side. There is more at stake than just these camps of ours. A short time ago we have discovered an ancient druid ritual to unlock the gates of Denravi. If we have been betrayed they know of our plans for certain. You must warn the people of Aurora Glade about the coming White Mantle offensive. I pray we're not too late."
