Quest Group: Chapter 2 - Escape from Reaper's Eye
Starting Map: Fort Joy
To start this quest you need to talk to Elodi. If you are late then she will be dead and you won't be able to start this quest. Ifan ben-Mezd will help her when she is attacked.
We ran into an elf in Fort Joy who was being intimidated by some thuggish Sourcerers.

To avoid bloodshed, stand on Elodi's side as soon as possible.
*Stand beside Ifan and tell the thug to back off.*
If during a conversation you say that ...
*Tell the elf she should pay up; rules are rules.*
... that you can still stand on Elodi's side ...
*Say that if he chooses to harm her, you won't stand by and watch.*
... but you will have to fight and kill Burro and Kana.
In both cases the result will be ...
We stood up for an elf who was being accosted by some heavies.
If you have decided to help Elodi then she will tell you about this place.
The elf, Elodi, told us of a safe place where we can talk safely. We should follow her there.
Go to the Caverns and talk to Elodi (Caverns). You will receive a Severed Head from her (eat it as an elf to get First Aid skill).
Elodi thanked us for saving her, and suggested that we talk to another elf, Saheila, which might know how to escape from this place.
Pick your reward.
Elodi rewarded us for helping her.
Help Burro and Kana ...
*Tell the elf she should do what she's told. If not, you're happy to make her.*
... you will have to kill Elodi and Ifan ben-Mezd. The result will be ...
The elf died.
Join the conversation but then take a step back.
*Take a step back and say this isn't your quarrel.*
Elodi will survive and the bandits will die. She will move into the Caverns but she will not want to talk to you anymore.
We left Fort Joy behind without checking in on Elodi again.
