Synopsis:
Alfira is a young bard who was apprenticed to a woman called Lihala. On their journey to the camp, they were attacked by gnolls, and Lihala died horribly.
Alfira is trying to compose a song in honour of the teacher she loved so dearly, but is struggling. The player can help her play, talk ther through the lyrics, steal her instrument, or even convince her to give up music.
This is a very soft and touching moment in the grove. Should Alfira finish her song (with the aid of the player) she will stand up and sing it in a cinematic scene.
