Ecologist Iskha says: These creatures died traumatically, Tharu. We must treat their remains respectfully.
Ecologist Tharu says: What's more respectful than finding out what's killing them as quickly as we can?
Ecologist Tharu says: We're supposed to preserve life, Iskha... not just carefully observe it!
Ecologist Iskha says: All I meant is that you could stand to be more gentle during dissections.

Description
The wounded are stabilized, but something still troubles me, {name}. A pair of dragonspawn ecologists had come to the outpost to study the wetlands. I haven't seen scale nor claw of them since the attack, and it's become worrisome. If you're venturing out, would you mind keeping an eye out, and making sure they're safe? And do take care. Rumor has it those wetlands are gorloc-infested.
