Yet despite the little sense of foreboding, the half-giant didn't clearly see the point behind the short priest's speech until he implied that there could very well be 'more pressing concerns' than possibly saving half the world from the doom breaking out of its centre.

Hate to tell you this, Fetzen, but I think An-Hasst might have parsed Settionne's interaction with the lizard incorrectly. So far as I (and Sett) can see, nobody's told this particular lizard why there's a big old party of various non-native races wandering through the Southlands, so the idea is to first convince the Lizardman there are better uses for his/her skill at arms than beast slaying, e.g. helping the party with their goal, and secondly getting him/her to help out with the aforementioned world-saving. For instance, by accompanying them on their world-saving quest, and/or providing maps of the Southlands, which is something the party needs in the first place.
