From the sound of things, he is not long for this world. It is truly a shame... Nelyn's healing spells have saved many lives. I only wish there were something we could do for him in return.

A local hero, truth be told. His healing spells have saved many lives. Thanks to you, we have repaid some of that debt. I look forward to finally being able to speak with the man, so I can thank him myself.

He had some kind of grudge against the Tribunal, and against the people of this village. Yet he was rendered harmless by his own incompetence. Still, words can be destructive in their own right. It's good that he is dead.

To be honest, I almost pity the wretched fool. Aspiring to such evil, and yet rendered harmless by his own incompetence. We took him for a powerful healer, but now I wonder if he was simply so unskilled that his destructive spells had restorative properties. Or perhaps he simply went mad after all those years, and sought comfort in the House of Troubles. I suppose we will never know for sure. Still, words can be destructive in their own right. It's good that he is dead.

Fool! Didn't I tell you to use a Calm Humanoid spell? You may have killed him in self-defense, but the old man was harmless. Sailen has suffered a great loss today. Get out of my sight.

Silence! Lower your voice. No, don't repeat it. I've heard enough. Thank you, %PCName, for silencing that fiend. Here is your payment.

What?! Explain yourself, now.

What?! Explain yourself, now.

I see. Then I will instruct my people to steer clear of him, for their own good. Thank you, %PCName. You put yourself in harm's way, and likely saved my people from a grisly fate. Here is your payment, with an added bonus.

He said that himself, did he?

Very good. Here is your payment, with a little something extra. I hope our paths cross again, %PCName.

Silence! Lower your voice. No, don't repeat it. I've heard enough. Thank you, %PCName, for unmasking the true nature of that fiend. I will dispatch my men to silence him the old-fashioned way. Here is your payment. We will take it from here.

I see. Was there something else you needed?

So that's why he is so wary of others. He's protecting us from the disease, is that it? How terrible. Are you sure he can't be helped?

Is that so? I suspected he might be an ascetic. Well, this is great news. Thank you, %PCName. We will extend an invitation to Nelyn, that he may speak at the local Temple. I look forward to attending his sermon.

What?! How can you be sure? What did he say?

Well? What can you tell me about him?

Well? What can you tell me about him?

Well? What can you tell me about him?

That's too bad. Well, let me know if you change your mind. Now if you'll excuse me.

Varden gave you a new voice? Excellent. Now you must return to Nelyn Fathis, give him the voice, and hear what he has to say. You remember how to get to his dwelling, yes?

Good. To find his dwelling, you must follow the road south out of Sailen, and go past the Imperial fort. Keep going south until you come to a fork at the very end of the road. Nelyn's hut will be nestled in the hills above. It is not far from Evos, to the East. Come back when you have something to report. Oh, and take these Calm Humanoid scrolls. Trust me, you'll need them.

Strange that you would ask. Yes, he has been on my mind lately. I feel as if I owe a debt to Nelyn Fathis. He has healed countless locals over the years. And yet he is inscrutable. He refuses payment and never speaks a word. These days, he attacks viciously anything that moves. Truth be told, I am concerned for his well-being. You seem capable enough. Will you look into this? Find out if he needs our help. It won't be easy, but I will pay you accordingly for the trouble.

I've heard it. This town has much to thank Nelyn Fathis for. It is a shame that we cannot help him any more as he used to help us.

So it seems that he was beyond saving after all. I shouldn't say it, but I'm somewhat relieved.

I assume this was necessary. Still, this town has much to thank Nelyn Fathis for.

Sad it had to come to this. But then again, he seemed beyond saving.

This was inconsiderate and undeserved. This town has much to thank Nelyn Fathis for. I thought you had been warned?

I heard Veradul Delvas went out to meet Nelyn Fathis, to speak with him about something. Delvas returned, but I have not heard anything about it since. I wonder what that was all about.

Nelyn Fathis is a mute that lives in the southern hills. They say he's an old and powerful healer. He's been very aggressive as of late. We still try to bring him food sometimes. He is our elder, after all, and we should respect that. But lately, the locals fear for their safety. Nelyn attacks anyone he sees. I'm sure one of the guards could tell you more.

Ilmeni, you say? Well, that's problematic. The woman died, many years ago. If what you say is true, then old Nelyn's voice is long gone.

He's always been up there. We tend to avoid him, but some villagers from Sailen bring him food sometimes. I'm sure they would have more information. It's a just short walk up the road, heading North.

We have more important things to worry about than some crazy old man in the hills. If you're concerned, take care of it yourself. Talk to our hetman, he can point you in the right direction.
