hello. he is the one who has been brainwashed to point you towards the vahnatai trap in the sulfur zone caves. it was a hard fight but i escaped from the trap and killed the vahnatais. but when i returned to him, he is still brainwashed, poor fellow. i tried casting unshackle mind next to him and it seems to not have done any good.
is there any way to help him? does it come up later? i havent tried visiting almaria yet
