I fear the restoration isn't going as smoothly as one might like.
The lingering pools of Aether in the area have seeped into the statues and imbued them with life.
Thankfully, it's only affecting the smaller statues. Can you imagine dealing with one of those colossi up there should it attack us?
If that's the case, I'm sure you'll have no trouble dealing with the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LF2A_MaidengolemRe_46_An]s and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LF2A_KuillusRe_46_An]es wandering around.
You came here to volunteer after all, and that's where you're most needed.
Much as it pains me to see such magnificent artworks destroyed, I must ask you to pulverize them until nothing remains.
We wouldn't want disembodied stone hands crawling into our tents at night seeking vengeance.
I thought you were here to aid in the excavations?
I saw you out there. You must have quite the grudge against statuary.
They, too, might have been wonderful statues and living beings once ... But they have transformed themselves ...
Luckily you're not hurt. Here is the reward as promised.
I'm sure the mission was exhausting. It would do you good to rest for awhile.
Kill the Caryatids and Kirrins that are disrupting the reconstruction activities at the ruins.
Kill [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LF2A_MaidengolemRe_46_An] ([%2]/7).
Kill [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LF2A_KuillusRe_46_An] ([%5]/3).
Talk to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Pygmalion].
Starved Kirrins and Fragmented Ancient Caryatids are impeding the reconstruction efforts. Go near the Empyrean Lord's refuge and kill them. Report back to Josnack afterwards.
Josnack said that the restoration project at the Empyrean Lords Sanctuary had been delayed because of Caryatids and Kirrins.
As Josnack requested, you killed the statues so work could continue.
