Initial dialogue
Melonni
 * "When we cleansed our sanctuary, I felt something was...not right. The river itself feels tainted. The Waterworks to the east irrigates most of Kourna. We should send a party to the Floodplain of Mahnkelon to investigate. If there is a connection between the darkness that sundered the Sunspears and the river, all of Kourna may be affected."

Turlon in danger

 * Turlon: "HELP! Don't let these beasts eat me! I'm too young to die!"

After rescuing Turlon
Turlon
 * "Wait! You're Sunspears, aren't you? Please don't hurt me! I have a family that depends on me.


 * Have I seen anything strange? Yeah, you could say that. Bayel and Varesh were just here assessing the situation. Something...dark...seeped into the facility recently. Its presence is agitating the critters, making them fiercer than they were before. It's affecting the water as well. I don't know what it is. None of us do. We've had to double our shifts just to keep the machinery working, pumping the water from the Elon.


 * Thank you for sparing me. I will tell no one of your visit. The last thing I need is more trouble."


 * Melonni: "It is frightening to see the river, our lifeblood, exploited like this. Something must be done." (if present)
 * Zhed Shadowhoof: "The land is changed here, almost as if it thirsts. But I wouldn't expect a two-legs to feel it." (if present)

Reward dialogue
Lonai
 * "So there is something fouling up the Waterworks? That would explain all the complaints we've received regarding the river's flow. This can't be mere coincidence. I suspect this is an element of Varesh's larger plan. You need to head out to determine whatever is consuming the water. Go."
