After a few days of helping show your mettle to brave the depths of the forest, gathering up resources alongside the Balikin here, it seems Palewren's opinion of you and your team has softened. Her stare stays the same harsh glare however.

Sitting down with the leaders of the settlement, they help show your team some trails, paths and some horrific pitfalls to avoid in the forest, but they themselves do not seem to know much about exactly where to find the dragon guardian of their land. While finding a massive serpentine beast that lives within a massive glowing pool might seem easy, the forest itself ebbs and changes daily, making a single point hard to find right away.

A suggestive is laid out, half the group should start out now and look for the pool, the other half should track down the only Balikin here that can track the Guardian, Ryn Kei. Apparently she had gone missing just before the group's arrival, while she did tend to take long trips to map the forest, this has been the longest she's gone without contacting them.
