- Thanks to the village's new residents, Ok' Gundu Nakki's growth is proceeding apace, and relations between the Gundu and Zundu are improving. The deepening bonds have already borne fruit, and Linu Vali has received word that a Vanu Vanu wearing Gundu colors has been sighted in Vundu territory, attempting to save another of his tribe from abuse at the hands of Vundu youths by shouting “No more violence!” at them. Linu Vali remarks that she had an old friend that often used that phrase to avoid conflict, and surmises that it must be him. She has come up with a plan to rescue him from his oppressors, and asks for your aid. Meet Linu Vali in front of Vundu Ok' Bendu and help her reunite with her erstwhile companion.

- When you meet with Linu Vali, she explains her plan to draw Ginu Vanu to you with bones inscribed with a mark known only to the two friends. Once Ginu Vanu notices the mark, Linu Vali is sure that he will follow them to their source. Place the bones conspicuously around the area so the Vanu can find them.
- You have placed the bones in such a way that even the most oblivious observer could find them. Return to Linu Vali and await Ginu Vanu's arrival.
- All goes according to Linu Vali's plan, and Ginu Vanu finds the bones and follows their trail. Upon sighting you, Ginu Vanu puts on a show of aggression to playfully frighten his old friend, but his demeanor quickly becomes friendly. Ginu Vanu agrees to return with you to Ok' Gundu Nakki without argument, but before you can leave a group of Vundu scouts appears nearby. Instead of resorting to violence, Linu Vali decides to scare the Vundu away with her sundrop dance─but first she needs inspiration. /dance for the timid Vanu to awaken the spirit of the warrior within her.
- Your dancing rekindles Linu Vali's courage, and she puts on an impressive and terrifying display for the Vundu scouts, sending them running in fear. With your escape route secure, return to Ok' Zundu to introduce Ok' Gundu Nakki's new ally to the Zundu chieftain.
- The Zundu chieftain and his attendant are excited to meet yet another of the Gundu's artisans, and Sonu Vanu is eager to see what changes this will bring to the village. The Gundu return to their new home to welcome its new resident. Return with them and speak with Linu Vali when you arrive.
- Ok' Gundu Nakki has one more voice among its villagers, and Linu Vali is excited to continue developing her mastery of the sundrop dance. However, she still mourns the absence of her brother, rightful chief of the Gundu tribe, and vows to rescue him from the Vundu. The winds of change are always blowing, and Linu Vali once again asks for you to answer their call when next they beckon.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Linu Vali: [Forename], many from Ok' Zundu come to share in Ranu Vali and Eenu Vanu's wisdom. Like trees in grove, our roots become more intertwined each passing day. Linu Vali: Ranu shares the secrets of Gundu botany, and Eenu spends long hours exchanging advice with Zundu cloudfishers. Linu Vali: Linu swells with pride at success of village, but shame still nags at her like single midge buzzing in ear. If she cannot perform sundrop dance in heat of battle, then she is no more use to village than newborn hatchling... Linu Vali: But now is not the time for self-pity! Ranu Vali's friend from Ok' Zundu tells intriguing story around cooking fires. Linu Vali: While delivering tribute to Vundu, Ranu's friend notices group mercilessly beating Vanu wearing Gundu colors. Another Gundu approaches the group, shouting, “No more violence!” But the Vundu mock his pleas, and chase him from the village. Linu Vali: Linu Vali has an old friend, Ginu Vanu, who says same thing ever since nestling days. [Forename], we must help him before he faces punishment for his words. Linu Vali: [Forename] does not fear violent Vundu youths. Please, come to Vundu Ok' Bendu with Linu Vali. With [Forename]'s help, we bring friend back safely to Ok' Gundu Nakki!
Rendezvousing with Linu Vali at Vundu Ok'Bendu
Linu Vali: Linu sees no Vundu patrolling area, but we must act quickly─like storm during monsoon season, they are never far away. Here, take bones of sanuwa, [Forename]. Linu carves mark only her and Ginu Vanu recognize. Linu Vali: When Ginu sees mark, he knows that Linu comes to rescue him. Place bones throughout Vundu Ok' Bendu in trail leading to hiding spot, and he follows! Linu Vali: Ginu Vanu spends many moons under brutal rule of Vundu, and he may fear consequences of being captured. But when Linu Vali tells him of Ok' Gundu Nakki, the promise of a new home gives him courage to come with us. Linu Vali: [Forename], place bones around Vundu Ok' Bendu, and guide Ginu Vanu back to us. Linu Vali keeps watch for any Vundu patrols. (Optional) Linu Vali: The mark is secret only Linu Vali and Ginu Vanu know. Place bones, and he comes.
Reporting to Linu Vali
Linu Vali: The bones guide Ginu Vanu to us! And now, we wait!
Cutscene
???: >> Gundu rebels! Surrender, or else! << Ginu Vanu: Hahaha. As ever, Linu scares easily as nestling lost in dark. When Ginu sees marks on bones, he knows his friend is come!
Linu Vali: Ginu, to meet again brings Linu great joy! He looks healthy as crops after nourishing spring rain. Linu Vali: Linu flees along with other Gundu, and this netherling rescues us from capture. Thanks to his help, tribe receives gift from Zundu: a new island to call home. Linu Vali: Ginu Vanu, return with us to Ok' Gundu Nakki, and share knowledge of Gundu carpentry to make our modest village grand! Do not fear, [Forename] guides us safely back.
Ginu Vanu: If Ginu says no, he is more foolish than Vanu who plants seeds during drought. No matter how modest village is, it is surely preferable to suffering longer under Vundu abuse! Ginu Vanu: >> A Vundu patrol! Quickly, hide before they pluck our feathers and throw us in skycages! <<
Linu Vali: Wait! Linu practices sundrop dance day and night, and now the time comes to prove herself. But the Vundu look fierce, and Linu cannot hope to strike fear into their hearts without inspiration... [Forename], show Linu the dance of your tribe! Linu Vali: Rouse Linu's strength with your mighty dance, and she will send the Vundu fleeing! Quickly!
Optional
Ginu Vanu: No more violence! We must run or face wrath of Vundu scouts!
Linu Vali: Rouse Linu's warrior spirit with your dance, Forename! There is not much time!
/dancing for Linu Vali (Cutscene)
Linu Vali: Linu feels the warrior spirit within her─coursing through her entire body! Now, [Forename], witness the awesome power of Linu Vali's dance! Linu Vali: Haha, they run like cowardly korrigans! [Forename]'s dance reawakens Linu Vali's ferocity, and brings forth true might of her sundrop dance! Linu Vali: Come, let us return to Ok' Zundu and speak with Sonu Vanu, before patrol returns.
(Optional) Sanu Vanu: Zundu use Nakki Island as grounds for celebration. Many in the tribe look forward to seeing dances of greatest warriors, but now where will they dance?
Speaking with Sonu Vanu (Cutscene)
Linu Vali: Chief Sonu, today Linu Vali brings before you Ginu Vanu, greatest builder of the Gundu tribe, and a dear friend.
Sanu Vanu: Ah, many Vanu tell stories of great Gundu architecture, and today a renowned builder stands before us! Sanu has much interest in hearing Ginu Vanu's wisdom! Sanu Vanu: ...Ah, Sanu apologizes for his interruption. Forgive me, Chief Sonu.
Sonu Vanu: Hahaha, there is no need for apologies. Like the most precious of crystals, Gundu culture possesses many facets. All Zundu have much to look forward to as our tribes grow closer.
Optional
Sonu Vanu: Many Vanu admire the techniques of Gundu crafters. With time, Ok' Gundu Nakki may become a village to rival the greatest in Vanu history.
Sanu Vanu: The traditions and techniques of the Gundu crafters are of great interest to Sanu. He looks forward to discussing much with them in the future.
Speaking with Linu Vali
Linu Vali: Ok' Gundu Nakki is alive with the sound of celebration! And Linu Vali finally dances. Like skies on clear summer day, she is free from worry. Linu Vali: Occasion calls for hearty feast! Linu Vali eats until stomach can hold no more, and then practices dance until sun itself smiles in approval. Linu Vali: Alas, Ok' Gundu Nakki still lacks a leader─a strong chief. Brother is yet trapped in skycage, hanging somewhere in vast cloud sea. Linu Vali: Although Brother's whereabouts remain a mystery, Linu Vali swears to find him one day. [Forename], when that day comes, the Gundu may call on your aid once more.
