Upon releasing the Caged Prisoner, he immediately checks with the player to make sure that they have not been infected.

Freed Alliance Scout says: Were you bitten?
Freed Alliance Scout yells: Answer me! Were you bloody bitten?
Freed Alliance Scout says: You don't even know, do you? The trappers? They're not human... we have to get out of here! Come, quick!
Freed Alliance Scout says: There's lamp oil in the back - make use of it. The fiends hate fire!
