“The refuge’s defenders fight bravely, but they cannot keep up with the iron onslaught. With the earth you collected, I can make bandages to help heal the wounds of some of the fallen. The more defenders we can patch up, the longer we’ll last out there. Take these poultices and use them to heal the wounds of the fallen defenders outside the refuge.
Get as many back into the battle as possible, Vikstone. Every casualty is one too many.”

Quick Facts
Walkthrough
Head northwest down the cliffs from Bouldercrag’s Refuge to the area around [22, 36] to [27, 38]. The Fallen Earthen Defenders are friendly earthen kneeling on the ground with low health, not fighting. They’re easy to spot among the active combatants.
Target a Fallen Defender and use the Telluric Poultice. This starts a channeled heal. You do not need to channel the full duration for credit. Starting the channel is enough: the defender will heal itself to full after a short delay (roughly 10 seconds), even if you move away or get interrupted.

Important Mechanics
Lore Context
Bouldercrag’s dialogue ties this directly to the Enchanted Earth you gathered in Rare Earth: “With the earth you collected, I can make bandages to help heal the wounds of some of the fallen.”
The Telluric Poultice is essentially a stone bandage, patching cracks and fractures in the earthen’s bodies using enchanted mineral compounds. The earthen don’t bleed; they crumble.

Vikstone's War Journal“The refuge’s defenders fight bravely, but they cannot keep up with the iron onslaught,” Bouldercrag said. “With the earth you collected, I can make bandages to help heal the wounds of some of the fallen. The more defenders we can patch up, the longer we’ll last out there. Take these poultices and use them to heal the wounds of the fallen defenders outside the refuge. Get as many back into the battle as possible. Every casualty is one too many.”
The longer we’ll last.
The fallen are all over the Snowdrift Plains where the line broke and got put back. Nobody has moved them because nobody can be spared to.
The poultice goes on directly and does its work in about the time it takes to breathe out. What was cracked runs together and the crack is no longer there. There is no wound left afterward and no mark to say there had been one.
They do not make any sound at all when they come up.
And they do not go back to the line. Every one of the eight fell in behind me and stayed there, and walked where I walked, and put themselves between me and whatever came next.
“The warriors that you’ve healed will aid us in holding the line even longer,” Bouldercrag said. “If we are to truly be free of the iron threat, we must find a way to strike at them behind the lines.”
Time was not the same as winning, so if the earthen were ever to be free of the irons somebody had to start Fighting Back.
