Look for Diallos inside one of the huts and talk to him, once again exhausting his dialogue. Reload the area and speak to both Diallos and Jar-Bairn until they say something new, then pass time at the nearby Site of Grace so a whole night has passed.
You can now find Diallos in the centre of Jarburg. Select"You defended them"when prompted, speak to Jar Bairn again, then reload the area once more. Talk to Jar Bairn for the last time, then after a final reload, you can loot Hoslow’s Petal Whip, Diallos' Mask, and a Numen’s Rune.
