"I personally forbade Kressle's people from harming the owners of the trading post. They paid on time and worked dutifully — at least until you showed up and disturbed things. But despite that, does this really need to end in violence? Restov is too far away to be able to effectively control these lands, and I don't want to lose any of my people. So, please — leave the Stag Lord be, and leave in peace."
