| Arnau: Oh, an adventurer. If you are here for the sermon on the Gates of Paradise, beseech the friar standing at the narthex.
Arnau: You say you come on behalf of the Temple Knights? And you want to know about Tedimout?
Arnau: Why, may Altana bless thee! Yes Tedimout was a friar in training.
Arnau: Oft would he enter the woods of Ronfaure, in search of wild herbs for making of tea and medicines.
Arnau: Ever did I warn him against going alone, for the trees can hide predators...and worse!
Arnau: He claimed that the blue robes of the clergy would protect him.
Arnau: But it seems his faith was ill-placed. I fear that Orcs took him!
Arnau: The horror he must be facing now... Each morning and night I pray to Goddess of the Dawn to deliver him from their clutches!
Arnau: Why, Prince Pieuje! And, Papsque Shamonde!
Pieuje: Vicasque Arnau, I've come to talk to you about the missing acolyte. It seems his disappearance may not have been the Orcs' doing after all.
Shamonde: That is correct, Your Highness. I hear that Tedimout sometimes went into forest to look for herbs.
Shamonde: Lets us not jump to conclusions. Perhaps Tedimout set out on his own...for an extended hike, for example! Temple Knights are sent out only in special cases. First we must know more!
Pieuje: You speak the truth, Your Holiness. The citadel cannot be emptied of Temple Knights for so uncertain a cause.
Arnau: I understand, of course. However... If it were true that Tedimout did happen to be kidnapped by Orcs, surely we could not simply let him die?
Pieuje: No, of course not. I have decided to send an adventurer. If he finds that Orcs do hold the boy, then the Temple Knights will be there to claim him.
Arnau: I understand, Your Highness. I am very thankful.
Pieuje: By the way, who have you been talking with?
Arnau: Your Highness, Player name is here on errand from the knight at the gatehouse. He/She came to ask about Tedimout.
Pieuje: Well, that's perfect. I shall order you to undertake this mission.
Pieuje: Infiltrate Ghelsba, and determine whether they hold this Tedimout captive. I've heard they keep prisoners in a small hut somewhere.
Pieuje: Once you know, notify a Temple Knight. Now, go!
