Dialogue

Speak with Raubahn

Raubahn: See to the wounded, [Forename]. If they live, help them. If not, move on. 

Aid the wounded

Meffrid lies motionless, having breathed his last. Clenched in his fist is a small charm, which you take for safekeeping.
Thewy Youth: He was already cold when I got to him... There was naught I could do. That charm must've been important. You'd best take it to Conrad. 

Bring Meffrid's charm to Conrad

Conrad: M'naago? Meffrid? Where are you...? (Hand over Meffrid's charm)
Conrad: This...this is... ...He's dead, isn't he. Meffrid was a worrier. Always thinking about others before himself. He once had an imperial patrol chase him nigh on twenty malms so that his wounded would have time to escape... His comrades loved him for it, of course... though that only made him worry more. Did you know that he sent him en in Quarrymill away because he thought they were fighting for him, and not the cause? Aye, well, he did. The only life he was willing to risk was his own, you see. But that's exactly the kind of man who should be leader! The kind of man who deserves to survive. Not a...not an old fool who's all used up. 
Alphinaud: ...There's no logic to it, Master Kemp. There never is. Who stands, who falls... In the heat of battle, we can but do our best - as he did. Meffrid will be sorely missed, aye...but because of his sacrifice, many now live who otherwise would not - and they need us, now more than ever. 
Conrad: Aye...aye, that they do. Forgive me. I had...high hopes for him, is all...
