[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Elsa Alston
"My husband sacrificed himself so we could live, you know. Back in the Ascalon Foothills, we'd been cornered by a hydra, and he came rushing in, screaming and waving his arms, throwing rocks at it like a fool. A brave, selfless fool. It worked... He managed to lure it away from us, but... We buried what was left of him and raised a stone marker."
"I've written these words, now that I've had time and I'm not so numb. I feel so weak, but I cannot go back there. Would you...could you...find his gravestone and inscribe these words upon it? Oswalt deserves better than an unmarked grave."
Yes Accept: "Of course I'll help."
No Decline: "I'm too busy right now."
Ask Ask: "Did you find the gravestone? It's in the Ascalon Foothills south of the old ruins."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Oswalt Alston
"Elsa sent you? Then she is alive and well! That is all I need hear. Perhaps now my spirit can go in peace."

[edit] Notes

  • The epitaph reads, "Oswalt Alston. Loving husband in life. Savior in death. My strength. My inspiration. My love."
Bug Bug.
Occasionaly it will say that you have inscribed the words into the headstone, but not found it.
