The Malingering Moogle is shivering in fear.

— In-game description

• Report to the Malingering Moogle.

Journal

• The malingering moogle is shivering in fear.

• The moogle expedition is visiting the ruins of Tharl Oom Khash to learn more of the time when dragons and mankind lived amicably together. However, the leader of the expedition has cold wings and is scared to explore any further. Inform the rest of the moogles in the expedition that it is time for them to return home.

• You have informed the moogle expedition that the time has come for them to leave. Despite some protests, they have complied with their orders. Report back to the expedition leader.

• It seems that the ruins were once home to a great wyrm by the name of Ratatoskr. The moogles are surprised that another great wyrm besides Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg had ever inhabited these lands.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Malingering Moogle: Our expedition is exploring the ruins of Tharl Oom Khash to learn of the time when there was peace between the skylords and the landlords. None have stepped foot here in ages... To be honest, it's quite frightening, kupo...
Malingering Moogle: ...It might be time to cut the expedition short. Could you inform the other moogles that we'll be returning home shortly? I'm too scared to move, so I'll be waiting here!
(Optional)
Malingering Moogle: I get the feeling we shouldn't be here... Could you tell the others that it's time to go home?

Searching for the moogles

Glimpsing Moogle: The ruins are massive, but the architecture indicates someone─or something─lived here in comfort... What's that? Time to go home? Well, if you say so, kupo...

Remarking Moogle: What!? We're leaving already!?
<sigh> ...Well, I suppose it is somewhat sinister here...

Miming Moogle: I've found traces that Ratatoskr's brood once lived here... Most interesting... Oh! The expedition is over? I shall return at once, kupo.

Impetuous Moogle: I've barely been able to scratch the surface of these ruins, there's so much to see, kupo. But, I am getting quite tired... I suppose I'll go back.

Rummaging Moogle: The ruins resemble Zenith at parts... I wonder what kind of dragons could've lived here, kupo. Well, I guess we'll explore more tomorrow.

Optional Dialogue

Remarking Moogle: While scouring the ruins I came across a seal that could've only belonged to the brood of a great dragon. There's still much to explore, kupo!

Glimpsing Moogle: This kind of palace is much too large for moogles. We'd have to take several naps just getting from one place to the other, kupo.

Miming Moogle: Ratatoskr... I'll have to do more research into this dragon's true nature.

Impetuous Moogle: The ruins are so massive it's hard to know where to begin... I think I'll just lie down for a bit, kupo...

Rummaging Moogle: The skylords living here must've been a breed like none other, kupo. 

Reporting to the malingering moogle

Malingering Moogle: Everyone seems to have returned. Thank you, adventurer! It seems that these ruins were once home to skylords loyal to a great wyrm named Ratatoskr.
Malingering Moogle: To think that such palaces were dedicated to dragons outside of the great Hraesvelgr and the evil Nidhogg... Ratatoskr must surely have rivaled them in greatness, kupo!
Malingering Moogle: As interesting as the ruins are, staying here fills me with a sense of dread. For now, the expedition will return home. Thank you once again, adventurer!
