Dialogue[edit]
Initial dialogue[edit]
- 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."
Accept: "Of course I'll help."
Decline: "I'm too busy right now."
Ask: "Did you find the gravestone? It's in the Ascalon Foothills south of the old ruins."
Reward dialogue[edit]
- 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."
Notes[edit]
- The epitaph reads, "Oswalt Alston. Loving husband in life. Savior in death. My strength. My inspiration. My love."
Bug. When acquiring this quest, occasionally it will immediately update to indicate that you have completed the second objective ("Inscribe Elsa's words on the headstone"), but not the first objective.
