TheWoWDBI had an issue when I got to the Darksand Hollow scouts. I used my signal and the extra action button disappeared, but I didn't get credit for aiding them. I flew a little ways away and then back to them and the button appeared again.

Description
With the lifting of the storms, we dispatched scout teams to explore the island. Several of our teams have not returned. We fear they may have fallen to unknown dangers. Can you search the island for them? Once you locate them, use the Mender's Signal to summon a medic.

- Emberthal Awaits
We are by no means ready to relax, but at least our encampment here is stable... for the time being. I should be able to handle the rest of our operation from here. Emberthal arrived while you were in the field. She and her allies are surveying the area from the cliffs above.
