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 Fragmented Ancient Caryatids and Starved Kirrines 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.

I'm glad you came along. I wouldn't have the heart to destroy all that beautiful statuary.

I suppose we must sacrifice them for the good of the restoration.

1. Kill Caryatids and Kirrins that interfere with the restoration project.

   Fragmented Ancient Caryatid (/7)

   Starved Kirrin (/3)

2. Talk with Josnack.

Kill Caryatids and Kirrins wandering around the Empyrean Lords Sanctuary and receive a reward from Josnack.

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.
