Accepting the Quest

Hihibaru: I've finally got some honest-to-gods information on your masked man! This time, it's the real thing, I swear! Why so confident? Because I saw him with my own two eyes!
Hihibaru: I was out for an evening stroll, minding my own business, when I noticed a column of smoke rising from a cliff over at Thal's Respite. Curious, I took myself there to find a masked man -- your masked man, I'm sure of it -- standing by a fire.
Hihibaru:  As if in answer, some Qiqirn appeared soon after, and the group began talking at length. I'm afraid I was too far out of earshot to hear much of anything.

Hihibaru:  So, what do you think? That's some sound, reliable information, even if I do say so myself. Well worth all the lingering about you've been doing, wouldn't you say?

Finishing the Quest

Hihibaru:  Back so soon? Were you able to find any clues leading to your masked man?
Hihibaru:  <gasp> Th-This scroll! It bears a prayer to Rhalgr, the Destroyer!
Hihibaru:  In case you're unfamiliar, Rhalgr is the guardian deity of Ala Mhigo, which is currently under Garlean rule.
Hihibaru:  It's highly uncommon for folk of other nations to revere Him. I'd wager my last gil that your assailant was Ala Mhigan.
