To Evade the Impending Doom

Bestowal dialogue

'These leaves can be crushed to make a powerful remedy. Do you smell the clear sap? It is the blood of the mountain, striving to cleanse itself of corruption.

'Take this phial, <name>...I have drained enough sap to save those dwarves. If we can rally them in time, our two parties should be able to rid Ered Luin of the horrible fate that awaits it.

'I will not stand idly by while these fair, clean lands are poisoned with death! Go well, my friend. Hopefully, I will see you again when we meet to put a stop to this madness.'
