Report to Alestan outside Spirithold.<br /> <br /> *Alestan listens intently as you recount all that unfolded within Spirithold. Understandably concerned, the Wood Wailer promises to investigate the masked mage, and bids you return to [[Gridania]] and speak with [[Miounne]].<br /> <br /> *Safely back in Gridania, you relate your tale to Miounne, only for her to forbid you from repeating the story to others. What strange forces could be at work in the [[The Black Shroud|Twelveswood]]? Such matters are best left to the Hearers, it would seem. For now, take advantage of Miounne's introduction to [[guildleves]], as well as her offer of guild accommodations, and prepare yourself for future adventures.<br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> '''Galfrid''': Adventurer! Thank the gods you've come!<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': We have a potential crisis on our hands, and I would appreciate your assistance. Will you hear me out?<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Listen well, for we haven't much time.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': To the southeast of here lies a dungeon known as Spirithold. It was all but destroyed during the Calamity.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Desiring to offer the ruins back to the forest, a Hearer ventured inside to carry out the Rite of Returning.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Alas, it would seem something has gone awry. Word arrived just moments ago that the Hearer and his guards have been attacked by a towering shadow. Aye, you heard me true - a ''shadow''.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': On any other day, I would dispatch my best Quivermen to provide support, but I sent them to repel an Ixali incursion in the West Shroud nary a bell ago.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': The timing of these events cannot be mere coincidence. I fear the Ixal somehow caught wind of our plans, and are attempting to disrupt the rite in an effort to weaken the bond between man and elemental.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': They must not be allowed to succeed. And so I bid you go to Spirithold and do whatever is necessary to resolve the situation. Please, say you will help us.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': I knew you would not let me down. You will have all the support I can muster.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Now, we are racing against time, so you had best make haste.<br /> ===Speak with Alestan===<br /> '''Alestan''': Who goes there? An adventurer, is it?<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Here at Instructor Galfrid's request, you say? Thank the Matron!<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Doubtless you already know this, but a towering shadow manifested without warning and attacked the Hearer in the midst of the rite.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Most of his party has been successfully evacuated, but five remain unaccounted for.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Please find them, and see them out of harm's way.<br /> ===To the Rescue===<br /> '''Worried Wood Wailer''': &lt;groan&gt; A shadow... towering over me... What in the Twelve's good grace?<br /> <br /> '''Worried Wood Wailer''': A-an adventurer!? Please, you must save the Hearer!<br /> <br /> '''Witless Wood Wailer''': Galfrid... sent you?<br /> <br /> '''Witless Wood Wailer''': I am no longer... of use here. Pray help the Hearer... in my stead.<br /> <br /> '''Overwrought Wood Wailer''': Away, vile fiend! Away, I say! I defy you! ''I defy yooouuu''!!! ...Uh? ...Oh! An adventurer!<br /> <br /> '''Overwrought Wood Wailer''': W-We were ambushed - ambushed in the midst of the ritual! And then... And then... I'm not sure what happened.<br /> <br /> '''Cool-headed Conjurer''': ...You were sent to help? I fear you are too late - the ritual has failed.<br /> <br /> '''Cool-headed Conjurer''': I must needs return to Gridania. The Seedseers must know of this.<br /> <br /> '''Confused Conjurer''': That thing was no elemental, but a being born of darkness.<br /> <br /> '''Confused Conjurer''': The Hearer languishes alone in the depths. You must help him!<br /> ===Speaking to the Hearer===<br /> '''Masked Mage''': O mournful voice of creation! Grant ye this humble stone a soul, that it may wake to life!<br /> <br /> &lt;Golem defeated&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Masked Mage''': That the golem could be vanquished...<br /> <br /> '''Masked Mage''': That man/lady is no ordinary adventurer.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Damnation! He has eluded us yet again!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Oh, fancy meeting you here! How are things?<br /> ===In the Vision===<br /> '''Papalymo''': Hm? Whatever are you-<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Shhh! More birds! This makes it how many times today? Seven?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Their movements are beyond our fathoming.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Hmmm. Do you think maybe... they're trying to summon their primal?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': I hope not, for all our sakes. Yet we must be prepared for the worst.<br /> ===Vision Pt. 2===<br /> '''Papalymo''': Withered. The same fate has befallen Emerald Moss.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': It is as we feared: Dalamud's anomaly is affecting life in the Twelveswood.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': You mean the disturbance in the aetheric flow?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The very same. The Garleans have a lot to answer for.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The imbalance they have created is plunging the land into chaos, just as Louisoix forewarned.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': It's no wonder the primals have started appearing...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Time is against us, but there is still hope for the land.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': We must hold fast to that hope and fight to the very last.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Agreed!<br /> <br /> ===Vision Pt. 3===<br /> '''Yda''': Waaah!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Ack! Stupid things...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': These ''stupid things'' happen to be the very latest in Sharlayan innovation! Show some respect!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': But they're so uncomfortable and... and... ''ugly''!<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': If you ask me, they're an improvement over that mask of yours.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': &lt;sigh&gt; Hard to believe it's already been five whole years, isn't it?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': ''Already''? Five years is but a heartbeat in the life of the planet!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': I suppose you're right... Now that I think about it, the Twelveswood's barely recovered at all, and the Gridanians still have the same old problems.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Aye, along with some new ones. Just in case the Ixal and Garuda weren't troublesome enough, the sylphs ''had'' to go and invite Ramuh, didn't they?<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': ...Do you ever think about those adventurers who fought alongside us? I do. And then five years seems like ages... I wonder what became of them.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Ah...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Yda, look.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Hm?<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Golly! ...And this is what, exactly?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Yet another disturbance in the aether, and freshly manifested at that.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': It seems to be emanating from Lifemend Stump. We must hurry!<br /> ===Back to the Present===<br /> '''Yda''': Are you all right? Your eyes glazed over for a while there.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The good news is that the Hearer is unharmed. Somewhat dazed, yes, but whole of mind and body. The bad news... concerns everything else.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Lest you forget, the Twelveswood is the domain of the elementals; it is by their leave that man abides in the forest and avails himself of its bounty. The ground which the dungeon occupies is no different.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Having no more use for the dungeon, the Gridanians sent a Hearer to offer the place back to the elementals by way of the Rite of Returning, which is essentially an expression of gratitude.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Alas, he failed to complete the ritual for obvious reasons.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': While the poor soul cannot be blamed for this, the fact remains that unless the elementals are given their due, they may well consider it a slight. And the very ''last'' thing the Gridanians can afford to do in these uncertain times is risk alienating the Twelveswood's eternal guardians.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': But you have more than done your part. We shall see the Hearer to safety, and send for his peers to finish the rite.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': In the meantime, please make your way outside and report to Alestan.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Ah, but where are my manners?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': I am Papalymo, and the tactless woman beside me here is-<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Yda!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Papalymo and I are surveying the Twelveswood together!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Pleased to meet you!<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Yda, give me a hand, would you?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Wait. There is something... familiar about you. Could it be that you are...?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': N-Never mind. Doubtless my eyes are playing tricks. Till we meet again!<br /> ===Report to Alestan===<br /> '''Alestan''': All this happened inside Spirithold? Twelve preserve us...<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Who was that masked mage, and by what dark ambition is he driven? SO many things shrouded in mystery...<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Well, I shan't find any answers on my own. I must needs discuss this with Galfrid. The matter warrants a full investigation, if I am any judge, and that shall certainly be my recommendation.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Your courage has saved many lives this day, adventurer. For this you have my deepest gratitude.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Pray return to Gridania and seek out Miounne.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': I understand she wishes to thank you for your efforts on our behalf.<br /> ===Speak with Miounne===<br /> '''Miounne''': Welcome back, Adventurer. A little bird tells me that the Hearer and his party owe you their lives.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': A tale for the tavern if ever there were one! ...It is only a shame that I must ask you not to tell it - for the time being, at least. Do I make myself clear?<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': Until the Hearers have made their will on the matter known, it would be best to avoid unsettling people with stories of walking statues.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': Now then, you must have suitable recompense for your valiant service.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': For the first half of your reward, I give you leave to make use of the accommodations here at the guild.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': Arrangements have been made, so all you need do is speak with Antoinaut whenever you crave the comfort of a firm bed and a soft pillow.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': For the second half of your reward, I offer you another path to fame and fortune: guildleves.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': Guildleves are records of the various requests we receive from the citizenry. They outline all manner of tasks which ambitious young adventurers like you can elect to undertake.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': Gontrant is our guildleve official, or &quot;levemete,&quot; here at the Carline Canopy. I have spoken with him regarding your knack for solving challenging problems, and he is eager to make your acquaintance.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': By the way, have you perchance heard about the coming festival? It is truly a splendid occasion, looked forward to by young and old alike, and I heartily recommend that you take the time to enjoy.<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': Don't be ''too'' disappointed if the recent troubles cast a shadow over proceedings, however. I fear nothing short of the mysterious interloper's apprehension can prevent that...<br /> <br /> '''Miounne''': But we were talking about you, Adventurer. You have made Mother proud. I expect great things of you, young man/lady!</div>

Report to Alestan outside Spirithold.<br /> <br /> *Alestan listens intently as you recount all that unfolded within Spirithold. Understandably concerned, the Wood Wailer promises to investigate the masked mage, and bids you return to [[Gridania]] and speak with [[Miounne]].<br /> <br /> *Safely back in Gridania, you relate your tale to Miounne, only for her to forbid you from repeating the story to others. What strange forces could be at work in the [[The Black Shroud|Twelveswood]]? Such matters are best left to the Hearers, it would seem. For now, take advantage of Miounne's introduction to [[guildleves]], as well as her offer of guild accommodations, and prepare yourself for future adventures.<br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> '''Galfrid''': Adventurer! Thank the gods you've come!<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': We have a potential crisis on our hands, and I would appreciate your assistance. Will you hear me out?<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Listen well, for we haven't much time.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': To the southeast of here lies a dungeon known as Spirithold. It was all but destroyed during the Calamity.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Desiring to offer the ruins back to the forest, a Hearer ventured inside to carry out the Rite of Returning.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Alas, it would seem something has gone awry. Word arrived just moments ago that the Hearer and his guards have been attacked by a towering shadow. Aye, you heard me true - a ''shadow''.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': On any other day, I would dispatch my best Quivermen to provide support, but I sent them to repel an Ixali incursion in the West Shroud nary a bell ago.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': The timing of these events cannot be mere coincidence. I fear the Ixal somehow caught wind of our plans, and are attempting to disrupt the rite in an effort to weaken the bond between man and elemental.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': They must not be allowed to succeed. And so I bid you go to Spirithold and do whatever is necessary to resolve the situation. Please, say you will help us.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': I knew you would not let me down. You will have all the support I can muster.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Now, we are racing against time, so you had best make haste.<br /> ===Speak with Alestan===<br /> '''Alestan''': Who goes there? An adventurer, is it?<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Here at Instructor Galfrid's request, you say? Thank the Matron!<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Doubtless you already know this, but a towering shadow manifested without warning and attacked the Hearer in the midst of the rite.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Most of his party has been successfully evacuated, but five remain unaccounted for.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Please find them, and see them out of harm's way.<br /> ===To the Rescue===<br /> '''Worried Wood Wailer''': &lt;groan&gt; A shadow... towering over me... What in the Twelve's good grace?<br /> <br /> '''Worried Wood Wailer''': A-an adventurer!? Please, you must save the Hearer!<br /> <br /> '''Witless Wood Wailer''': Galfrid... sent you?<br /> <br /> '''Witless Wood Wailer''': I am no longer... of use here. Pray help the Hearer... in my stead.<br /> <br /> '''Overwrought Wood Wailer''': Away, vile fiend! Away, I say! I defy you! ''I defy yooouuu''!!! ...Uh? ...Oh! An adventurer!<br /> <br /> '''Overwrought Wood Wailer''': W-We were ambushed - ambushed in the midst of the ritual! And then... And then... I'm not sure what happened.<br /> <br /> '''Cool-headed Conjurer''': ...You were sent to help? I fear you are too late - the ritual has failed.<br /> <br /> '''Cool-headed Conjurer''': I must needs return to Gridania. The Seedseers must know of this.<br /> <br /> '''Confused Conjurer''': That thing was no elemental, but a being born of darkness.<br /> <br /> '''Confused Conjurer''': The Hearer languishes alone in the depths. You must help him!<br /> ===Speaking to the Hearer===<br /> '''Masked Mage''': O mournful voice of creation! Grant ye this humble stone a soul, that it may wake to life!<br /> <br /> &lt;Golem defeated&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Masked Mage''': That the golem could be vanquished...<br /> <br /> '''Masked Mage''': That wo/man is no ordinary adventurer.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Damnation! He has eluded us yet again!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Oh, fancy meeting you here! How are things?<br /> ===In the Vision===<br /> '''Papalymo''': Hm? Whatever are you-<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Shhh! More birds! This makes it how many times today? Seven?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Their movements are beyond our fathoming.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Hmmm. Do you think maybe... they're trying to summon their primal?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': I hope not, for all our sakes. Yet we must be prepared for the worst.<br /> ===Vision Pt. 2===<br /> '''Papalymo''': Withered. The same fate has befallen Emerald Moss.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': It is as we feared: Dalamud's anomaly is affecting life in the Twelveswood.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': You mean the disturbance in the aetheric flow?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The very same. The Garleans have a lot to answer for.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The imbalance they have created is plunging the land into chaos, just as Louisoix forewarned.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': It's no wonder the primals have started appearing...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Time is against us, but there is still hope for the land.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': We must hold fast to that hope and fight to the very last.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Agreed!<br /> <br /> ===Vision Pt. 3===<br /> '''Yda''': Waaah!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Ack! Stupid things...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': These ''stupid things'' happen to be the very latest in Sharlayan innovation! Show some respect!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': But they're so uncomfortable and... and... ''ugly''!<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': If you ask me, they're an improvement over that mask of yours.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': &lt;sigh&gt; Hard to believe it's already been five whole years, isn't it?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': ''Already''? Five years is but a heartbeat in the life of the planet!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': I suppose you're right... Now that I think about it, the Twelveswood's barely recovered at all, and the Gridanians still have the same old problems.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Aye, along with some new ones. Just in case the Ixal and Garuda weren't troublesome enough, the sylphs ''had'' to go and invite Ramuh, didn't they?<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': ...Do you ever think about those adventurers who fought alongside us? I do. And then five years seems like ages... I wonder what became of them.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Ah...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Yda, look.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Hm?<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Golly! ...And this is what, exactly?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Yet another disturbance in the aether, and freshly manifested at that.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': It seems to be emanating from Lifemend Stump. We must hurry!<br /> ===Back to the Present===<br /> '''Yda''': Are you all right? Your eyes glazed over for a while there.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The good news is that the Hearer is unharmed. Somewhat dazed, yes, but whole of mind and body. The bad news... concerns everything else.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Lest you forget, the Twelveswood is the domain of the elementals; it is by their leave that man abides in the forest and avails himself of its bounty. The ground which the dungeon occupies is no different.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Having no more use for the dungeon, the Gridanians sent a Hearer to offer the place back to the elementals by way of the Rite of Returning, which is essentially an expression of gratitude.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Alas, he failed to complete the ritual for obvious reasons.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': While the poor soul cannot be blamed for this, the fact remains that unless the elementals are given their due, they may well consider it a slight. And the very ''last'' thing the Gridanians can afford to do in these uncertain times is risk alienating the Twelveswood's eternal guardians.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': But you have more than done your part. We shall see the Hearer to safety, and send for his peers to finish the rite.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': In the meantime, please make your way outside and report to Alestan.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Ah, but where are my manners?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': I am Papalymo, and the tactless woman beside me here is-<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Yda!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Papalymo and I are surveying the Twelveswood together!<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Pleased to meet you!<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Yda, give me a hand, would you?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Wait. There is something... familiar about you. Could it be that you are...?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': N-Never mind. Doubtless my eyes are playing tricks. Till we meet again!</div>

The same fate has befallen Emerald Moss.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': It is as we feared: Dalamud's anomaly is affecting life in the Twelveswood.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': You mean the disturbance in the aetheric flow?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The very same. The Garleans have a lot to answer for.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': The imbalance they have created is plunging the land into chaos, just as Louisoix forewarned.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': It's no wonder the primals have started appearing...<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Time is against us, but there is still hope for the land.<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': We must hold fast to that hope and fight to the very last.<br /> <br /> ''Yda''': Agreed!<br /> <br /> ===Vision Pt. 3===<br /> ''Yda''': Waaah!<br /> <br /> ''Yda''': Ack!

Just in case the Ixal and Garuda weren't troublesome enough, the sylphs ''had'' to go and invite Ramuh, didn't they?<br /> <br /> ''Yda''': ...Do you ever think about those adventurers who fought alongside us?

Somewhat dazed, yes, but whole of mind and body. The bad news... concerns everything else.<br /> <br /> ''Papalymo''': Lest you forget, the Twelveswood is the domain of the elementals; it is by their leave that man abides in the forest and avails himself of its bounty. The ground which the dungeon occupies is no different.<br /> <br /> ''Papalymo''': Having no more use for the dungeon, the Gridanians sent a Hearer to offer the place back to the elementals by way of the Rite of Returning, which is essentially an expression of gratitude.<br /> <br /> ''Papalymo''': Alas, he failed to complete the ritual for obvious reasons.<br /> <br /> ''Papalymo''': While the poor soul cannot be blamed for this, the fact remains that unless the elementals are given their due, they may well consider it a slight.

Thank the gods you've come!<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': We have a potential crisis on our hands, and I would appreciate your assistance. Will you hear me out?<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Listen well, for we haven't much time.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': To the southeast of here lies a dungeon known as Spirithold. It was all but destroyed during the Calamity.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Desiring to offer the ruins back to the forest, a Hearer ventured inside to carry out the Rite of Returning.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Alas, it would seem something has gone awry. Word arrived just moments ago that the Hearer and his guards have been attacked by a towering shadow.

I fear the Ixal somehow caught wind of our plans, and are attempting to disrupt the rite in an effort to weaken the bond between man and elemental.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': They must not be allowed to succeed. And so I bid you go to Spirithold and do whatever is necessary to resolve the situation. Please, say you will help us.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': I knew you would not let me down. You will have all the support I can muster.<br /> <br /> '''Galfrid''': Now, we are racing against time, so you had best make haste.<br /> ===Speak with Alestan===<br /> '''Alestan''': Who goes there? An adventurer, is it?<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Here at Instructor Galfrid's request, you say? Thank the Matron!<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Doubtless you already know this, but a towering shadow manifested without warning and attacked the Hearer in the midst of the rite.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Most of his party has been successfully evacuated, but five remain unaccounted for.<br /> <br /> '''Alestan''': Please find them, and see them out of harm's way.<br /> ===To the Rescue===<br /> '''Worried Wood Wailer''': &lt;groan&gt; A shadow... towering over me...

I'm not sure what happened.<br /> <br /> '''Cool-headed Conjurer''': ...You were sent to help? I fear you are too late - the ritual has failed.<br /> <br /> '''Cool-headed Conjurer''': I must needs return to Gridania.

More birds! This makes it how many times today? Seven?<br /> <br /> '''Papalymo''': Their movements are beyond our fathoming.<br /> <br /> '''Yda''': Hmmm.

Of late, however, our meditations have all too frequently been interrupted by unprovoked anole attacks. Truly, the beasts grow more aggressive by the day.<br /> <br /> '''Pauline''': Their numbers have continued to grow since the advent of the Seventh Umbral Era, you see, forcing packs of the scalekin to come down from the mountains in search of food. If you could slay a handful of the beasts, that should lessen their need to hunt and also serve as a warning to the anoles to remain within their territory.<br /> <br /> '''Pauline''': But I am afraid you must do more than thin the existing population. If we are to truly break this spiraling growth, then we must also target their future offspring. Bring me one of their eggs, and you will have played your part in returning balance to this area of the forest.<br /> ===Report to Pauline===<br /> '''Pauline''': Ah, you have returned. Now might my brothers and sisters continue their meditations undisturbed. You have my thanks.<br /> <br /> '''Pauline''': As for the egg, may I ask you to deliver it to Tsubh Khamazom at the Bannock?<br /> <br /> '''Pauline''': Anole eggs are both large and filled with nutrients - the perfect meal for a soldier.

Another delivery?<br /> <br /> '''Tsubh Khamazom''': I'm not certain I should be the one to - By Nophica, that's an anole egg! The troops will be glad indeed to see one of these at table! And you say Hearer Pauline sent you on this errand?<br /> <br /> '''Tsubh Khamazom''': I hear the anoles are more numerous than ever, yet you appear to have managed the task with your skin intact.

Without further ado, you follow your guide to the Alliance's newly constructed field camp.<br /> <br /> *After listening to your various reports concerning [[Alphinaud]], [[Gaius]], and the lethal Black Rose, [[Lyse]] shares her own piece of news: it seems that [[Emperor Varis]] himself will be taking a chair at the negotiation table on the condition that you and another member of the [[Scions]] are present. [[Lyse]] bids you let her know when you are prepared to attend the parley.<br /> <br /> *You attend the first round of parley only to witness [[Emperor Varis]] dismantle every argument the Alliance leaders bring against him.

The assembled dignitaries balk at his ultimatum-that in order to win their freedom, they must allow the Rejoining to proceed. Unable to countenance a sacrifice of that scale, you, too, add your voice to the chorus of defiance, and the talks rapidly disintegrate. With the Emperor's hostile farewell still ringing in the air, your party withdraws to Alliance Headquarters.<br /> <br /> *Though peace was never a likely outcome, it seems the parley was successful in its primary purpose: the delay has allowed the vanguard from [[Doma]] time to arrive before hostilities begin in earnest...<br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': We must leave now to convene with Eorzea’s leaders, and it may be some time before I return to Doma.<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': Hakuro – I leave you in command.<br /> <br /> '''Hakuro''': My lord!<br /> <br /> '''Yugiri''': I shall assemble an advance party with all haste, and join you in Ala Mhigo forthwith.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': I’ve just received word from Lyse. The Alliance has established a base camp near Ala Mhigo’s northeastern border.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Once we’ve arrived in the Lochs, we’re to report to a Resistance officer station in Porta Praetoria who will point us in the right direction. Let’s not keep them waiting.<br /> <br /> ===At Porta Praetoria===<br /> <br /> '''Resistance Fighter''': Ah, you must be the Scion party I was told to look out for! If you'll follow me, I'll take you directly to Alliance Headquarters.<br /> <br /> ===At Alliance Headquarters===<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Welcome back, you two. Greetings, Lord Hien! Glad you could join us!<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': Glad to be here. I would have come sooner, were our own defenses not in question. But I am pleased to report that our soldiers are assembling for deployment to Ala Mhigo as we speak.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': We are grateful for your support. Thanks to the efforts of our allies, it won't be long before we've established defensive positions on this front as well.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Ahem, we have some good news too... Alphinaud has come back to us. As for the bad news...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': So, Alphinaud won't wake up, Gaius van Baelsar is alive and hunting Ascians, and the Empire is planning to poison us all with toxic gas. Does that sound about right?<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Ordinarily, any one of those things would have left me in shock, but the way things have been lately, it's all starting to seem pretty normal.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Getting back to your report, are we sure this &quot;Black Rose&quot; is the weapon Maxima was talking about?<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': It fits the description. And it seems we have Alphinaud to thank for sparing us an early demonstration of its effectiveness. I've a feeling this won't be the last time his bravery in the Empire will serve us here in Eorzea.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': The threat of an unknown weapon has had us all on edge... But now that we know what we're dealing with, we can take steps to defend against it.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': As for Gaius... I'm not sure what to think. Am I happy he's alive? Not in the slightest. Am I happy he's hunting Ascians? Aye. I'd have to say I am.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Oh, speaking of Garleans-you-didn't-expect-to-see, we have a tale of our own, as it happens. When we sent envoys to the imperial army to request talks, they returned with the message that &quot;Varis zos Galvus&quot; would be attending.<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': The Emperor himself? Well, Varis did sanction the Populares' peace mission...<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': ...But knowing that an Ascian walks in his son's skin, I do not see how we can trust him or anyone from that nest of vipers.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': The Alliance would proceed with negotiations regardless, if only to give ourselves more time to prepare. We do, however, require your cooperation...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Ah, right, yes... So... as a condition for the talks to go forward, the Empire has requested that a member of the Scions be present. There'll be a representative from each Alliance nation, of course, but I'm afraid we have to ask that you come along too.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Gods, Lyse... you know how much I hate politics. But then what choice do I have? Alphinaud and the others aren't going to do it...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Very well. I shall attend as the Scion's representative.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': In case you're wondering why I didn't ask you, the Empire also requested the presence of &quot;Eorzea's champion&quot;...<br /> <br /> '''Adventurer''': I'll be there. OR I'm not fond of politics either...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': That's settled, then. We don't know what Varis means to bring to the table, or why he wants you there, but having you close at hand will make all the difference.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': The meeting will take place on the border. Anticipating an early assault, we man to position the bulk of our forces nearby.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': The Alliance leaders should already be on their way. Once you're ready, we can head out and join them.<br /> <br /> ===Speaking to Lyse===<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Well, I don't suppose it's polite to keep an emperor waiting ''too'' long. Shall we?<br /> <br /> ===At the Meeting===</div>

With the Emperor's hostile farewell still ringing in the air, your party withdraws to Alliance Headquarters.<br /> <br /> *Though peace was never a likely outcome, it seems the parley was successful in its primary purpose: the delay has allowed the vanguard from [[Doma]] time to arrive before hostilities begin in earnest...<br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': We must leave now to convene with Eorzea’s leaders, and it may be some time before I return to Doma.<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': Hakuro – I leave you in command.<br /> <br /> '''Hakuro''': My lord!<br /> <br /> '''Yugiri''': I shall assemble an advance party with all haste, and join you in Ala Mhigo forthwith.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': I’ve just received word from Lyse. The Alliance has established a base camp near Ala Mhigo’s northeastern border.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Once we’ve arrived in the Lochs, we’re to report to a Resistance officer station in Porta Praetoria who will point us in the right direction. Let’s not keep them waiting.<br /> <br /> ===At Porta Praetoria===<br /> <br /> '''Resistance Fighter''': Ah, you must be the Scion party I was told to look out for! If you'll follow me, I'll take you directly to Alliance Headquarters.<br /> <br /> ===At Alliance Headquarters===<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Welcome back, you two. Greetings, Lord Hien! Glad you could join us!<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': Glad to be here. I would have come sooner, were our own defenses not in question. But I am pleased to report that our soldiers are assembling for deployment to Ala Mhigo as we speak.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': We are grateful for your support. Thanks to the efforts of our allies, it won't be long before we've established defensive positions on this front as well.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Ahem, we have some good news too... Alphinaud has come back to us. As for the bad news...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': So, Alphinaud won't wake up, Gaius van Baelsar is alive and hunting Ascians, and the Empire is planning to poison us all with toxic gas. Does that sound about right?<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Ordinarily, any one of those things would have left me in shock, but the way things have been lately, it's all starting to seem pretty normal.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Getting back to your report, are we sure this &quot;Black Rose&quot; is the weapon Maxima was talking about?<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': It fits the description. And it seems we have Alphinaud to thank for sparing us an early demonstration of its effectiveness. I've a feeling this won't be the last time his bravery in the Empire will serve us here in Eorzea.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': The threat of an unknown weapon has had us all on edge... But now that we know what we're dealing with, we can take steps to defend against it.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': As for Gaius... I'm not sure what to think. Am I happy he's alive? Not in the slightest. Am I happy he's hunting Ascians? Aye. I'd have to say I am.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Oh, speaking of Garleans-you-didn't-expect-to-see, we have a tale of our own, as it happens. When we sent envoys to the imperial army to request talks, they returned with the message that &quot;Varis zos Galvus&quot; would be attending.<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': The Emperor himself? Well, Varis did sanction the Populares' peace mission...<br /> <br /> '''Hien''': ...But knowing that an Ascian walks in his son's skin, I do not see how we can trust him or anyone from that nest of vipers.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': The Alliance would proceed with negotiations regardless, if only to give ourselves more time to prepare. We do, however, require your cooperation...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': Ah, right, yes... So... as a condition for the talks to go forward, the Empire has requested that a member of the Scions be present. There'll be a representative from each Alliance nation, of course, but I'm afraid we have to ask that you come along too.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Gods, Lyse... you know how much I hate politics. But then what choice do I have? Alphinaud and the others aren't going to do it...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie''': Very well. I shall attend as the Scion's representative.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': In case you're wondering why I didn't ask you, the Empire also requested the presence of &quot;Eorzea's champion&quot;...<br /> <br /> '''Player''': I'll be there. OR I'm not fond of politics either...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': That's settled, then. We don't know what Varis means to bring to the table, or why he wants you there, but having you close at hand will make all the difference.<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn''': The meeting will take place on the border. Anticipating an early assault, we man to position the bulk of our forces nearby.<br /> <br /> '''Lyse''': The Alliance leaders should already be on their way. Once you're ready, we can head out and join them.</div>
