- You tell Grámi about the request from Lord Náin, and the destroyed convoy.
- 'Aye, we knew it was only a matter of time before the Easterlings made their move. We did not expect these tactics, however. They are almost certainly after the weapons we craft here, so that they may arm the refugees coming in from the Stair. Ha! But they will not have them so easily! There is work to do, <class>. I will not allow this rabble to hobble our production. Report back to Lóssi, and help him however you can.'

- 'I am Tuhâl, of the Chayasír. My family and I came from the east. We are refugees, fleeing for our lives! The devastation... It was horrible...
- 'We came up the stair, following word that there was safe haven among the vales. A man with a kind face told us that we could have a new life in Er Shamol, which you call Utterby. There was plenty of food, and good shelter, he said, but it was a lie. The Jangovar are luring refugees in, and then forcing the strong to fight, under threat to their families! The ones who cannot fight are chained and made to work. The convoy-raid and these small strikes are only the beginning. They are planning to attack Dale again when they can!'
