Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Conrad: There's still a chance that some imperials are holed up inside the castellum. We'll need to search it top to bottom to be sure it's safe. Conrad: In the meantime, I want you to rendezvous with the main host. Keep your weapons at the ready—there's a chance you might come face to face with soldiers on the run en route. Conrad: On second thought, it might be prudent for you to do a preemptive sweep of the region for soldiers that have gone to ground. We shouldn't afford them any time to regroup and launch a counterattack. Conrad: When you've judged your work to be done, report to General Aldynn in Bittermill.
Optional
Lyse: One step at a time, one step at a time. Until we're on Zenos's doorstep!
Conrad: Just because we've won doesn't mean it's over yet. There're still enemies about, and a panicked soldier can kill you just as quick as a cool–headed one.
Alisaie: It's a good thing M'naago got the flag glying when she did. Any longer and those imperials might have had us at their mercy...
Alphinaud: The Bull of Ala Mhigo has done it again. His assessment of Fordola's response was without error.
Speaking with Raubahn (Cutscene)
Raubahn: [Immortal Flame GC Rank]/Well met. All's well at the bridge? Raubahn: Good, good. The fighting has died down here too, as you can see. Raubahn: Pipin left but a moment ago with a contingent of troops to occupy Velodyna. If and when the imperials return, they'll find us dug in behind their own walls.
Alphinaud: I could not have hoped for a better outcome, General. Splendidly done.
Raubahn: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It'll take more than one castellum to turn the tide. Raubahn: My men and I will deal with the remaining enemy forces. Scions, I bid you return to Commander Kemp and his men.
Alphinaud: Delight not overmuch in victory—not when there are battles left to fight... Alphinaud: Our work here is finished. Our Resistance allies are waiting.
Optional
Resistance Guard: Velodyna belongs to the Alliance and the Resistance now. You may be assured that the imperials will never hold it again!
Lyse: If you're looking for Arenvald, I think he's with Pipin, searching the castellum for any remaining soldiers.
Alisaie: Now that we have taken control of Velodyna, there's nothing stopping us from marching east towards the Peaks.
Alphinaud: From a stone bridge to a massive fortress... Garlean engineering never ceases to impress.
Speaking with Conrad
Conrad: Back so soon? I suppose the general and his men had matters well in hand. Conrad: The vice marshal and his men showed up not long after you left. If the gods are good, there'll be no one left to fight...
