10TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_00When the land is at war, the meanest lodgings never lack for tenants who sleep fitfully and wake screaming.
21TEXT_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.
32TEXT_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, \xe2\x80\x9cThe Ones You Killed,\xe2\x80\x9d the letter calls the hermit \xe2\x80\x9cDashing Drest\xe2\x80\x9d and asks a singular question: \xe2\x80\x9cDo you dream of rain?\xe2\x80\x9d Reflect on it while you retrieve Drest's precious leather sack from Raincatcher Gully.
43TEXT_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.
54TEXT_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.
65TEXT_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.
76TEXT_SUBPST021_00241_SEQ_06Drest is safe, and may yet find his way out of the thorn\x02\x1f\x01\x03wood 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.

5049TEXT_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.
5150TEXT_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?
