Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Falkbryda: The Serpent Reavers leave us no choice. The risk of the crystals falling into Sahagin hands is too great for us to remain idle. It comes time to act.
Falkbryda: So many are the crystals that we have no means of recovering them. We can only hope to destroy them.
Falkbryda: While losing the crystals is regrettable, we have far more to lose should Leviathan be summoned.
Falkbryda: Our forces will bombard the Reavers, drawing them out of their den so that you might slip in with these makeshift bombs and destroy the crystals.
Falkbryda: The Serpent's Tongue lies beyond Tidegate and the Sahagin Landbase, at the very heart of the enemy encampment.

(Optional)
Falkbryda: Our comrades will do their utmost to distract the enemy, but the explosions will surely draw the attention of nearby forces. Be prepared to defend yourself.

Reporting to Falkbryda

Falkbryda: Our triumphant hero returns! And I imagine it will be some time before the Serpent Reavers and the Sahagin rear their ugly heads again.
Falkbryda: More importantly, we needn't worry about Leviathan rearing his head.
Falkbryda: The Maelstrom, and indeed all of Limsa Lominsa, owes you a debt of gratitude. And please send my regards to Radolf!
Falkbryda: We may have crushed the ambitions of the Serpent Reavers, but their fishback masters yet threaten our shores. Let them come, I say. No Sahagin force shall breach the tidegates─not while I remain in command!

Reporting to Radolf

Radolf: Ah, [Forename], so good of you to return. Tales of your deeds precede you!
Radolf: Knowing Limsa Lominsa lay in good hands allowed us to tend to matters of import elsewhere, but I am relieved to have you back with us all the same. Much work remains for the realm.
