Istredd will find her again following the ritual, being one of the few Summoned who wasn't taken. Instead he's had to watch the others act severely different, sometimes argue and fight, and start becoming less human with blood and lesions. He has tried to keep the peace where possible, but his fear is starting to turn to desperation.

When he approaches her he will look genuinely distraught, dirty and bruised, large circles under his eyes, he doesn't look as bad as the others, but he feels pretty bad. He will go to his knees before her now that she is alone, a few of her mushrooms she likes offered in shaking hands.

He will plead with her for help and that he's worried about his friends being sick. He'll ask again who the shrines are to and if praying to them will do anything.
