Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Ilberd: Now then, we should make for the Burning Wall without delay and secure those weapons. Ilberd: The 1st Unit will ensure that the clients do not escape. With me, [Forename].
Speaking with Ilberd
Ilberd: I spy the one man, but there are sure to be others... Ilberd: I've a plan. While you approach the sentry and create a distraction, my men and I will slip past and catch the black marketeer unawares. Ilberd: Once you've disposed of the thugs, wait for us outside the tunnel entrance. Any questions? Then let us be off. Good luck, my friend.

Waiting for Ilberd outside the tunnel entrance (Cutscene)
???: I don't understand! Wh-What's this all about!? ???: Graaagh!
Investigating the disturbance (Cutscene)
Ilberd: As you can see, this is a fine mess. Ilberd: When I tried to restrain him, he drew a hidden blade and lashed out. But before I could disarm him, one of my subordinates panicked, and this is the result. Ilberd: How foolish of me to underestimate the bastard, and to bring an inexperienced recruit. Commander Leveilleur will be most disappointed. Ilberd: Damn it all! A golden opportunity, wasted! Ilberd: As for the clients...though we know not how, they slipped past our perimeter. At present, the 1st is currently tracking a party of Duskwight sellswords we suspect may be them. Ilberd: Would that we could have enlisted the aid of the Immortal Flames or the Brass Blades. Alas, we're here to aid them─they're in no position to aid us. Ilberd: Well, at the very least, we have secured the weapons. Yet even that accomplishment is lacking, for the information we received indicated a massive shipment, and this is anything but...
