Romance

Act One

Halsin can be found in the Worg Pens within the Shattered Sanctum, held hostage and harassed by nearby goblins. Nettie will request the player to find him in order to be helped with the Tadpole. The player can either decide to join the goblins or release him.

If released, Halsin offers to help the party in curing their Tadpole problem, but first asks the player to defeat the goblin leaders. He starts the fight Wild Shaped, unable to hide or take other discreet actions, but can be returned to human form at will.

If the player chooses to help Halsin defeat the goblins, he will return to the Emerald Grove. Once there, he will confess that though he cannot cure them, he knows of a place where the tadpole could be removed. Providing leads on the Shadow-Cursed Lands, Halsin offers to accompany the party on their way to Moonrise Towers, so that he might lift the curse afflicting the area.
