Synopsis:

In these dialogues, Zevlor reflects on what's happened (an attack of goblins at the gate, which the player helped with) and his mistrust of and bitterness towards the druids who are reluctantly hosting his people. He is exasperated, furious, but also eager to meet anyone who could help. He'll show a flash of anger and frustration at the start if the player struck him, but is pragmatic enough to calm himself once he realises you could be more help to him than harm.
