I just made several significant changes to Secladin Village:
1) There was a recent massive flood, which caught Eluvia off-guard, and
overwhelmed her. She can no longer put up a water barrier.
2) The water elemental is no longer a required part of the "Save Secladin
Village" quest. Granted, you need to get past it, but if someone else kills
the monster, then you aren't hosed on the quest.
3) The flowing bracelet always has stats again.
