Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Alisaie: Here's what we'll do: I'll take the east side of the Inn, and you clear the west. That way you can have an undiluted experience with the resident terrors. 
Alisaie: These marks on your map are where the usual trouble spots are. 
Alisaie: You can assume that any beast with a white hide or carapace is a sin eater, but you'll know for sure soon enough when they come slavering after your aether. Remember: it's kill or be killed with these monsters. 
Alisaie: Once you've slain whatever's prowling around out there, we can rendezvous back at the north entrance. Good hunting. 

Optional

Tesleen: You found Alisaie, then? I would've loved to have seen her reaction... Ah, but had I been there, she would've put on her stoic face!

Halric: ......

Todden: Ahhh...

Pawnil: Ugh... Ahhh...

Speaking with Alisaie

Alisaie: How did you fare?
Alisaie: Ah, I thought there might be one or two lurking on the fringes. Nothing out of the ordinary for this area...
Alisaie: I expect you noticed it yourself, but individually, these lesser sin eaters are no more deadly than any natural predator you might encounter in the desert. 
Alisaie: It's when they appear in numbers that they pose a threat. Much like the voidsent, they have an unfortunate tendency to flock to the strongest of their kind.  
Alisaie: Thus when a powerful sin eater goes on the hunt, it might be attended by a veritable swarm of weaker kin. Imagine an army of such creatures descending on a village or hamlet...
Alisaie: That's the basic idea behind my patrols: to cull their ranks often enough that their numbers won't be overwhelming when the big ones come out to play. And you've certainly helped on that front. 
Alisaie: Let's report our victories to Tesleen, shall we? 

(Optional)
Alisaie: She hasn't been telling you stories, has she? Oh gods...

Speaking with Tesleen

Tesleen: Alisaie tells me you helped out on her patrol. You have our thanks...and my apologies for leading you from one battle to another ever since the moment we met! 
Tesleen: In any case, I'm glad to see the two of you found each other. You have no idea how badly Alisaie has missed your company! Everything is always, “If [Forename] were here, [she/he] would─” 

Alisaie: That's an exaggeration! And I don't sound like that, either! I was simply trying to view matters from another perspective, and I respect [Forename]'s methods! 

Tesleen: Ahahaha! Honestly, after seeing [her/him] in action, I can understand why. 
Tesleen: The way [she/he] leaps into the fray without hesitation, it really is something to behold. I might be a little smitten myself! 

Alisaie: <gasp> 

Tesleen: Heh heh! I'm only teasing! Though I've no doubt [she/he] deserves all the admiration [she/he] gets. Just as you do.
