Journal
- Recent revelations weigh heavily on Alphinaud's mind.
- As you and Alphinaud discuss your next course of action, you are reunited with the young girl from Stonesthrow. Having learned of your desire to find the merchant who recruited her parents, she sought you out in the hopes that you might lead her to them. Although he clearly has no desire to do so, Alphinaud offers to assist the girl with her search. Soon after you are contacted by Minfilia, who requests you return to the Rising Stones immediately. The situation in the Twelveswood has taken a turn for the worse, and you will likely be asked to intervene.
- Minfilia is pleased to hear that you and Alphinaud are well, and states that she is ready to brief you on the latest threat. Inform her when you are ready so that she might summon the other Scions to the solar.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest (Cutscene)
Alphinaud: I should be glad to know the truth, and yet...the thought that all this chaos was the product of one man's lust for power sickens me. Alphinaud: How long do you think they intended to hide the existence of Omega from the Scions? That they even felt the need to do so is most troubling. Alphinaud: It would be in our best interests to learn more of the military activities in the disputed territories. You are, of course, the Scion best suited to this task, [GC Rank] [Surname]. Do take a moment to visit Maelstrom Command/the Adders' Nest/the Hall of Flames and make inquiries at the earliest available opportunity. Alphinaud: It would be in our best interests to learn more of the military activities in the disputed territories. Fortunately, you are already well positioned to do so, [GC Rank] [Surname]. Pray keep us informed of any developments in Carteneau.
Sultansworn Squire: >> Begone, whelp! This is no place for children! <<
Ele: <sniffle> <sob> I'm...I'm sorry... Ele: I... <sniffle> I was looking for you, miss. You said you were looking for the man who left with my parents. <sob>
Alphinaud: You know this girl? Alphinaud: So he visited Stonesthrow as well? I see.
Ele: Did you find the man? Were my parents with him?
Alphinaud: They were not, I am afraid. Alphinaud: ...However, I can think of several places they might be. If you like, we can go and look for them together.
Ele: Really? You'll help me look, mister?
Alphinaud: Of course. But first, I must needs finish speaking with my friend. She's telling me a secret, you see, so no one else is allowed to listen. Mayhap you could wait for me by that pillar over there? We require but a moment.
Ele: Okay, mister! I'll be waiting!
Alphinaud: ...I'll take her to the Quicksand. Mayhap Momodi will know what to do. Alphinaud: <sigh> A legion of Garleans, an aether-starved primal─even dealing with an Ascian would be preferable to this charade. Alphinaud: Sometimes I fear Minfilia is too ambitious. We rush hither and yon in response to threats as they arise, without concern for the strain it places on our limited resources─and ourselves. Alphinaud: Mayhap the time has come for a change...
Minfilia: [Forename], this is Minfilia. I know this is sudden, but I must ask you to return to Revenant's Toll with all due haste. Minfilia: The situation in the Twelveswood has taken a turn for the worse. I will explain in detail once you arrive.
Alphinaud: The Twelveswood? Then the primal threat she spoke of before has been confirmed? I have received no reports of Ixali activity, which leaves...the sylphs? Alphinaud: Go, [Forename]. You know as well as I that the appearance of a primal takes precedence over all else. Alphinaud: Oh, and when you arrive, do inform the Antecedent that while I am grateful for her concern, she needn't fear for my safety. I am more than capable of protecting myself.
Optional Dialogue
Serpent Herald: I am come on behalf of the Elder Seedseer to petition the aid of your order. The Antecedent has been apprised of the situation.
Speaking with Minfilia at the Rising Stones
Minfilia: It is a relief to see you healthy and hale, [Forename]. The latest news from Ul'dah was most disturbing. Minfilia: ...Clearly, the only injury Alphinaud suffered was to his ego. Doubtless it will heal ere long. Minfilia: The other Scions will need to be present for this meeting. If you are ready to begin, I will summon them now.
