Candrus Steady-Hand tells you, "I'm sorry, I am too busy to speak with you. I don't even think you're here on the business of that Arcanum scholar Jondor in Zaikhal, are you?"
Candrus Steady-Hand tells you, "Old Jondor sent you looking for me, eh? I have little to hide, and perhaps you would some day be a worthy compatriot in our service, but first I think you must prove your mettle, for we all face dangerous times. Down in this strange pit is a nest of revenants, foul even by the standards of the undead. These Blight Spirits are a symptom of the disease that is spreading across our beloved Dereth! Slay eight of them for me and I will write you a letter of introduction to bring to my superior."
