Priest Bastian:
Hello! I've been expecting you!
Don't look so surprised! You're here for the Stone of Commune, aren't you? I got this one from Agnes a while back. Don't you wonder how she got it and why she gave it to me? If you knew her, you'd understand!
While you were away, there was an accident in Goddard Castle Town. Agnes provided food for the townspeople, and after the accident, everyone, including myself, came to rely upon her.
The stone you seek isn't perfect. When she gave me this one, she said she needed a more powerful one.
"What do you need?"
