Dialogue

Quest Acceptance

Alphinaud: Here we are, home at last. I must say, the journey passed more quickly than I had expected. 
Alisaie: that would be due to the absence of otherworldly interference, I expect. 
Alphinaud: I-I should be glad if we did not speak of that unpleasantness again!  Ahem. But in spite of all that and more, we return better for the experience - and, more importantly, triumphant. 
Yugiri: Indeed. And with Doma freed of imperial oppression, it is only right that we turn our thoughts to the plight of Ala Mhigo. 
Lyse: Well, I'm all for that, obviously, but I think you should go and see the refugees at Revenant's Toll before doing anything else. They'll be thrilled to hear what we've accomplished, and it'd sound best coming from you. 
Yugiri: ...Thank you. I shall do as you suggest. 
Merlwyb: I see I am not too late. 
Alphinaud: Admiral! What are you doing here? 
Merlwyb: The East Aldenard Trading Company informed of your impending arrival. I have tidings I thought best to share with you in person. 
Lyse: From Gyr Abania? 
Merlwyb: Aye. The Alliance still holds the Wall, despite several imperial counterattacks. But we have been unable to press further into occupied territory. Commander Kemp and his men, meanwhile, have made great strides towards rebuilding their depleted ranks. They have even taken it upon themselves to attempt some few operations...with mixed results, I am sorry to say. 'Twas a complication arising from one such venture which moved me to seek you out. During a mission to transport wounded Resistance fighters to the Rising Stones, Krile Baldesion was taken prisoner. 
Alphinaud: Krile!? Do they know where she is being held? 
Merlwyb: They do not. But your comrades were informed at once, and I am told Thancred is in Gyr Abania looking for her as we speak. 
Alphinaud: How could this have happened...? We must seek out Thandred without delay! ...Nay. Krile taught me better than that. It would be unwise to act without first acquiring a full understanding of the situation...Thank youf or informing us. Tired though we may be, we must make haste to Castrum Oriens. Pray excuse us, Admiral, Lady Yugiri.
