"First time for everything," Wan said back with a grin. He didn't know if anyone had done as he had, but it was the first time Wan had called on the Outsider for help with a matter. And he likely would so again should this prove to be as useful as he hoped. And it would probably be for a matter of balance. There wasn't a lot Wan foresaw himself needing help with otherwise.

"I don't know if you've heard, but within the last week, the forest golems across the Drabwurld have started acting strange. They've become aggressive and attacked travelers who have done nothing to provoke them. The reports have spread the most through the merchants that travel by land, so it might not have gotten around much more than that..." Wan trailed off, realizing he was getting away from the point and refocused. "I know what's causing it, but I don't have the power to stop it. I know there are a lot of people in this world that you know and have encountered. I was hoping there might be a few who are familiar with magic that effects plants. Not just controlling them or speaking to their spirits, but can... I guess... heal them? Or make them stronger?"

"After four thousand years of routine mediocrity, it is always nice to have something unexpected occur," the Outsider agrees, smiling faintly. No one is quite this cheerful in the face of adversity back in Dunwall.

"Yes, I had... noticed." By 'noticed' he means 'had to deal with several', but the Outsider is certain that is either understood or not important. One of the two, if not both. But the request is one for information, and he does have that. There's a slow nod. "I know of one, yes. A Seelie woman, a fairy not entirely like those of this world, named Flora. She would wish to help." But he's curious, of course, so- "What is the cause?"

Wan's face lit up at the name. It wasn't much, but it was a start. He went on to explain what he'd found out and what Thrall was able to do. And why they needed someone with different powers over plants than what Thrall had. Thrall's ability to speak to the spirit of nature could only go so far and only worked if the spirits wanted to cooperate. And it wasn't a technique that Wan could easily learn. He was connected to spirits, just not in the same way as Thrall.

"Could you contact her? Maybe find a place were she and I can meet and we can work out a way that others across the Drabwurld can fix this themselves?"

Well, that was certainly a new phenomena. The Outsider was better with the sea, especially after Morla's gift, but that didn't mean he didn't have an attachment to the land.

"Yes, I can contact her. The best place to meet would likely be a neutral location, although Flora is quite... talented at getting places quickly."

"The Ta'ri Trading Post, east of here in the Nimh Gleanne, is neutral," He offered with an excited and eager smile. "It's the one Thrall runs. I'm told it's where the Barrel used to be at. If she'd rather meet elsewhere, though. I can be almost anywhere in a couple days. It doesn't take as long to cross the land when I'm flying over it."

"I will see if that works for her, though I do not know Thrall." He tilts his head, considers Wan for a moment before adding: "There should still be a shrine of my own near that location, should you need me."

He nodded and stepped back, offering another bow, "I'll look for it and make sure it's been cleaned."

Wan had no need of worshiping the Outsider, but the man had helped him and there was no harm in being respectful to the things that were his.

"Thank you."

The Outsider, in truth, doesn't need worshippers -- but he likes them, and he likes being able to move between shrines that have been made.

"You are quite welcome. I shall contact you soon."
