• Meffrid is distraught to discover that Gallien has disappeared from Quarrymill, and entreats your help in tracking down his wounded comrade. Start by asking Albreda if she knows anything.

• In a note that Gallien left to Albreda, you have learned that the wounded Ala Mhigan decided to leave Quarrymill of his own volition, in an attempt to not burden his fellows any longer. Take word of this to Meffrid.

• Meffrid is furious to learn that Gallien has taken off alone. He asks for your help to find his comrade before something terrible befalls him.

• You have successfully tracked down Gallien, fending off the opportunistic goblin that sought to end him. Speak with Gallien to ascertain his safety.

• Gallien and Meffrid share a touching moment, and the two of them leave to rejoin their brothers. Make your own way back to Quarrymill, where Meffrid awaits.

• The spirit of unity is well and truly alive in the Ala Mhigan people. The home they have lost, they carry constantly within their hearts.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Meffrid: A-Adventurer! Gallien has gone missing! He's nowhere to be found! 
Meffrid: He shouldn't be walking about, not with those wounds! If he doesn't get the proper medicine and rest, his condition's like to deteriorate to where it was before...or worse. 
Meffrid: We need you to help us find him, and quickly. Start by asking Albreda─might be as the woman's seen something! 

Speaking with Albreda

Albreda: Ah, finally. It's about time you came asking about Gallien. I watched him leave Quarrymill some time ago, and he left me this sealed letter before he went off. Made me swear not to open it until someone came asking... 
Albreda: “My brothers,
I cannot bear to be a burden any longer. That is why I must leave you all. Do not worry for me─just find your way safely to Little Ala Mhigo.” 
Albreda: <sigh> Blast it. Would that I'd known what he was thinking. I'd have stopped this folly myself. 
Albreda: The love Gallien bears for his brothers is so strong, he's willing to sacrifice himself for them. Make no mistake, entering the wood in his weakened state is suicide. 

Speaking with Meffrid

Meffrid: Out in the wilds...alone!? That fool! That great big sentimental fool! 
Meffrid: My men and I will scour the wood for Gallien! Please help us find him before something terrible happens! 

Tracking Down Gallien

Gallien: <pant> <pant> W-Watch out! A goblin!

Speaking with Gallien (Cutscene)

Meffrid: Gallien! 

Gallien: C-Captain? But...why? You should all be on your way... 

Meffrid: Who do you take us for!? We're Ala Mhigans, and Ala Mhigans never forsake one another, hardships be damned! 
Meffrid: Remember the oath we swore, godsdammit─the oath to reclaim our homeland! We'll set foot on Ala Mhigan soil again─together─or not at all! Do you understand me!? 

Gallien: Yes, sir... 

Meffrid: Good. Let us return to our brothers. Oh, and don't even think that you'll get off lightly. As soon as you're healed, I'll give you such a thorough thrashing, you'll wish we didn't find you! 

Meffrid: I can't thank you enough for saving Gallien. I will see you back at Quarrymill. 

Speaking with Meffrid

Meffrid: Gallien's expected to make a full recovery. We'll linger here till he's strong enough to take to the road again. As much as I mislike this place, beggars can't be choosers.
