40TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_00When the land is at war, the meanest lodgings never lack for tenants who sleep fitfully and wake screaming.
51TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_01The deputy postmoogle has a mysterious delivery for you. Perhaps the recipient, the hermit Drest of the Severed String, can shed some light on the puzzling letter.
62TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_02Drest's reaction is not exactly what one would call enlightening, but it certainly lives up to the postmoogle's fanfare. Signed, “The Ones You Killed,” the letter calls the hermit “Dashing Drest” and asks a singular question: “Do you dream of rain?” Reflect on it while you retrieve Drest's precious leather sack from Raincatcher Gully.
73TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_03You find the leather sack, though you can still make neither head nor tail of the message in the letter. Perhaps Drest will have something to say about it, when you deliver the sack with its hoard of gil.
84TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_04Drest's hard-won gil is gone from the sack, replaced with a blood-caked helm of a Garlean legionnaire. The terrified hermit begs you to draw off any watchers outside the shack, then meet him near the House of Sticks in lower La Noscea to guard him on his flight.
95TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_05You arrive at the appointed location and discover that the rendezvous has become a rescue mission. Save Drest from the Garlean legionnaires and see whether you can finally get to the bottom of this very strange delivery.
106TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_06Drest is safe, and may yet find his way out of the thorn–wood of his heart. You suspect that what happened on a rainy night three years ago was but the last straw, and the tragedy began when Garlemald set its sights on Drest's homeland... But that story is for another day.

5248TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_LETTERMOOGLE_000_000My trusty <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I have a delivery for you, addressed to Drest at the Severed String, over in Raincatcher Gully, kupo. But...
5349TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_LETTERMOOGLE_000_001I promised the Seedseers no more secrets, kupo! The letter was handed to me in a most curious way. Why, he seemed not to know of postmoogles, and was very furtive to boot.
5450TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_LETTERMOOGLE_000_002I introduced myself in a way that did credit to our kind, you can be sure! But when he asked me to deliver the letter in his stead, do you know what he said?
5551TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_LETTERMOOGLE_000_003“Don't deliver it now; wait a few days”! Have you heard the like before? I know how much you enjoy the strange and the suspicious, so here you are, kupo!
5652TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_LETTERMOOGLE_000_004This letter is for Drest at the Severed String, over in Raincatcher Gully. A very strange delivery in my opinion, kupo!
5753TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_010It's...you. Been a while. A letter...a letter from who? Nobody knows me...
5854TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_011"My dear Dashing Drest, Do you dream of rain? The Ones You Killed“
5955TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_012H-How did they know? Ghosts...ghosts that won't leave me in peace...!

6157TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_014Help me! There's a leather sack hidden east of here. A peaceful spot...surrounded by rocks...trees...

6864TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_023You see it too!? No...no dream... A bloody helm...black blood, old blood! Idem in me...by the majesty of Garlemald...never to desert...idem in me!
6965TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_024Ghosts...ghosts...ghosts. Three years, not a single night of peace and now...they rise.
7066TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_025Help me, they're watching right now. I...I have to get out of here. Go somewhere else...just a short while. Then I can...I can go home.
7167TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_026I'll go...out the back after you go out the front. Meet me...near the abandoned house in lower La Noscea. You know...the kobolds' squat. The House of Sticks.
7268TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_027Must...must be careful. I'll go...after you leave. The House of Sticks... Meet me near the House of Sticks.
7369TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_COLLEAGUE_000_037You'll clean that helm tonight, worm. Lick the blood and brains off of it while we drink the wine bought with your paltry hoard...
7470TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_COLLEAGUE_000_038Once a craven, always a craven. Flushed you out like a rabbit with that letter. Isn't that what desert conies do? <Emphasis>Dash</Emphasis>!?
7571TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_040You...died. You all died.
7672TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_COLLEAGUE_000_041Not all, just most. Three good soldiers survived...and <Emphasis>you</Emphasis>. Figured you for dead until I saw you skulking by the water a week ago.
7773TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_COLLEAGUE_000_042Do you think <Emphasis>we</Emphasis> don't dream of rain, worm? What honor in surviving an ambush, eh? Three years of disdain─that ends when we hand over a deserter to the cudgel–man.
7874TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_100_040I... I...

104100TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_COLLEAGUE_000_065Look at it this way, Dashing Drest: this is an easier way to go than what they do to deserters back in Garlemald!

106102TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_100_070I was in a unit...of Garlean scouts. A Maelstrom ambush in heavy rain, three years ago.
107103TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_071I thought...I was the only survivor. It didn't feel like desertion. It felt like...dying.

118114TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_DREST_000_080I will see my children again. But it's not the time yet. I think─I think, though, it will come. That's a start...
